Nothing’s Carved In Stone　『Out of Control (LiveVer. 2013.04.17 Shibuya O-EAST）』

Even among Japanese music, the English lyrics make it easy to get into, and I bet many people are captivated by the incredibly high level of musicianship.

By the way, this song was used as the opening theme for the second season of the anime PSYCHO-PASS.

It would be awesome to play a perfect cover of this song at the after-party.

White LoveSPEED

White Love – SPEED (Full)

A million-selling song that anyone who came of age in the ’90s would know.

It was also famous at the time for junior high and high school girls learning and performing the choreography to the chorus.

For a SPEED song, the moves are relatively slow, making it easy for dance beginners to pick up.

If your after-party has lots of women, let’s all dance to this one together!

Still WaitingSUM41

Sum 41 – Still Waiting

The songs by SUM 41, a band that epitomized the early-2000s pop-punk scene, are characterized by their exhilarating, fast-paced guitar riffs and catchy melodies.

Released in January 2002, this track is included on the album “Does This Look Infected?” and candidly voices dissatisfaction with politics and society.

With references to the Iraq War and other elements reflecting the global climate of the time, its lyrics resonated with many young listeners.

The music video, which satirizes the indie band boom, also drew attention.

Performed as a party encore or event entertainment, it’s a surefire crowd-pleaser that will instantly energize the room with its breakneck pace and high-octane sound.

Right ThingSimply Red

Simply Red – The Right Thing (Official Video)

When you think of cool Western music, a lot of images come to mind, but songs with that quintessential Western-style rhythm are the best, right? If you’re looking for something rhythmic like that, I recommend Simply Red’s “Right Thing.” Its groovy rhythm and sinuous melody line really capture that Western vibe.

When you sing it at karaoke, try using your whole body to feel the rhythm.
