Effeminate / Golden Bomber – Music Video

When it comes to songs that get everyone hyped, regardless of age or gender, we can’t forget this one! Golden Bomber has performed it multiple times on the Kouhaku Uta Gassen, so it’s widely known across generations.

Although it was released in 2009, it’s still a popular track you hear on TV and at karaoke.

The band’s signature is being an “air band,” but it’s also a cool song that’s great to actually play as a cover band.

If you copy their makeup too, it’ll get the crowd even more excited!

This song, which became a hot topic for the two expressionless beauties dancing, is “Odoroope” by the rock band Frederic.

Its pop sound makes for an addictive dance tune.

It’s a recommended track for women who aren’t sure what to do at year-end parties! If you’re not confident singing, ask someone else to handle the vocals and just keep dancing with a blank expression!

FriendsRebecca

REBECCA “Friends” (Shibuya Public Hall, Dec 25, 1985)

Rebecca, who made a huge breakthrough with this song in the late 1980s—if you remember those days, you can probably still hum it, right? Your managers are likely the generation who listened to their music in real time, so this is a great song to perform as entertainment at the office year-end or New Year parties! It features incredibly cool instrumentation and vocals, so be sure to find a confident female singer to showcase it! The guitar solo that pops up between sections is also a real highlight!
