National Sake-Drinking Festival Song of Japanbarracuda

Nationwide Drinkers' Ondo (with Nico Nico Douga comments)

Nihon Zenkoku Sakenomi Ondo Baracuda

This is a song released in 1979 by a comic band called Barracuda.

The striking lyrics might make you miss it, but it’s actually a parody of “Bibbidi-Bobbidi-Boo,” the insert song from Disney’s Cinderella.

The song portrays people finding any excuse they can to drink alcohol.

The first verse, which looks back on annual events, is well-known, while the second verse is quite interesting in that it introduces local specialties from various regions while incorporating the local dialects.

It’s a fun song for the vibe alone, making it perfect for parties.

Poi poi poi pop poi poi popi—Ayaman JAPAN

Ayaman JAPAN “Poi poi poi popoi poi popi”

Poi poi poi popoi poi popi—Ayaman JAPAN

Even a slightly raunchy song is fine as long as it gets everyone hyped! For that kind of party, Ayaman JAPAN is highly recommended.

The choreography is simple, though it might be a bit embarrassing for the girls.

But once you let loose, it’s guaranteed to get the crowd going! Maybe skip it for parties with important higher-ups present.
