Fun songs to liven up the thank-you party: Guaranteed crowd-pleasing novelty and dance tracks! (21–30)
YATTAhappatai
The song performed by Happa-tai features a cheerful melody and upbeat lyrics that have the power to lift listeners’ spirits.
Released in April 2001, it became a popular hit, reaching No.
6 on the Oricon charts.
The lyrics carry a heartwarming message about cherishing simple happiness.
While imitating their one-leaf costume might be a bit problematic, the comedic performance and positive song are sure to liven up the atmosphere at a thank-you party! Try presenting it with a bit of creative flair.
Uma-velousMONKEY MAJIK × Sandoicchiman
This is Umarvelous, a collaboration between MONKEY MAJIK and Sandwichman.

TTTwice
“TT” is a signature song by TWICE, one of the most widely recognized groups in K-pop.
In Japan, they made their first appearance at the 68th NHK Kōhaku Uta Gassen with this track.
Many K-pop dances feature memorable choreography that’s easy for anyone to imitate, and this song is no exception: it includes a cute move where you place your thumbs and index fingers under your eyes pointing downward to mimic a crying face.
If you learn and perform this dance, which showcases their outstanding style, you’re sure to draw attention!
Bubbly Dance “Dancing Hero”Oginome Yōko
Alright, let’s liven up the thank-you party! Yoko Oginome’s “Dancing Hero” is a song loved by a wide range of ages, from adults to children.
Its bubble-era–evoking rhythm instantly leads the audience into a nostalgic mood.
In particular, thanks to the performance by the Tomioka High School Dance Club that sparked a renewed boom, this upbeat melody will fill the venue with energy and smiles.
It’s sure to get the crowd involved and excited! It’s a great chance for both parents and children to make wonderful memories together.
U.S.A.DA PUMP
This song, released in 2018, sparked DA PUMP’s resurgence and is a track that just about everyone knows, regardless of age.
Not only can people sing along to the lyrics, but the choreography—nicknamed the “Like Dance”—also became a huge topic, so performing the dance to this song is highly recommended.
The flashy costumes that evoke the ’90s are another key point, so when you perform this song, be sure to focus on making a strong visual impact too!
loveHoshino Gen
“Koi” is a classic pick for party performances, isn’t it? Beyond Gen Hoshino’s outstanding vocals and the sweet lyrics, that choreography is a big part of its popularity.
Since it was featured every week in the ending of the drama “We Married as a Job” (Nigeru wa Haji da ga Yaku ni Tatsu), many people probably memorized it just by watching.
If you’re performing it as a party piece, I’d love to see you recreate the look as well.
The melody doesn’t have a wide range, so it’s also easy to sing at karaoke.
How about singing while showing off the dance?
One Night CarnivalKishidan
A song from Kishidan’s indie days that was also released as their major-label debut single and has become one of their signature tracks.
It’s a karaoke staple and a go-to performance piece for everything from year-end parties to weddings.
At a thank-you party with guests of various ages, if you assemble members ranging from the young to the veterans, the crowd will surely get excited and say, “That person dressed like a yankee delinquent?!”
