Funny Crowd-Pleaser Songs for Year-End and New Year Parties [2025] (41–50)
GG STAND UP!! feat. Takahiro MatsumotoNoritake Kinashi
This is the first song released by Noritake Kinashi of Tunnels as a solo artist.
One of its charms is the powerful guitar work by Takahiro Matsumoto, the guitarist of B’z.
As the term “Kinashi Funk” suggests, it carries elements of disco-funk and conveys a laid-back sense of fun.
The world depicted in the lyrics is amusing in a way that reflects Kinashi’s side as a comedian, expressing the aches and ailments that come with age and the way he tries to gloss them over while enjoying his days.
Humorous crowd-pleaser songs for year-end and New Year parties [2025] (51–60)
Matsuken Samba IIKen Matsudaira
Because it’s become such a classic song, if you really nail it, laughter is guaranteed! The key is how well you polish the performers other than the Matsuken role.
Amp up the excitement even more by, for example, having a horse character appear wearing a white horse mask and a full-body white tights outfit!
A Song Dedicated to LassenNagano
Anyway, when you’re really short on time, this is the last resort: “A Song for Lassen.” Worried it’ll seem too half-hearted on its own? In that case, try tweaking the lyrics into inside jokes and perform a few versions! It’s especially fun and dynamic when a big guy does it—highly recommended!
Nihon no Mikata - I Came Because It’s NevadaYajima Beauty Salon
Yajima Biyoshitsu is a unit formed by three people: Sho Ayanokoji of Kishidan, also known as DJ OZMA, and Takaaki Ishibashi and Noritake Kinashi of Tunnels.
They were created in 2008 as part of a segment on the TV variety show “Tunnels no Minasan no Okage Deshita,” and they really entertained us, didn’t they? Their motif is the American female trio The Supremes, so if you keep that in mind and learn the choreography in flashy party-goods-style outfits, you’re sure to be a hit.
Then just go all out hyping things up with a Norisan-style way of singing and big, flashy reactions!
Please, MuscleHibiki Sakura (CV: Ai Fairouz), Naruzo Machio (CV: Kaito Ishikawa)
This track, which tickles the hearts of fitness enthusiasts, was released in July 2019 as the opening theme for the anime “How Heavy Are the Dumbbells You Lift?”.
Sung as a duet by Ai Fairouz and Kaito Ishikawa, it passionately celebrates a love for muscles.
With its catchy melody and unique lyrics, it gives listeners a boost of positive energy.
Add some dance to the performance and it’s sure to hype up any venue! It’s recommended not only for people who love strength training, but also for anyone interested in health.
New YearRepezen Chikyu (also known as Repezen Earth)
Speaking of novelty songs, doesn’t a track by Repezen Chikyuu really get the crowd going? This one is literally titled “New Year’s,” making it a perfect pick to sing at year-end and New Year gatherings.
It starts off with a warm, easygoing vibe, cutely singing about wanting New Year’s money, but it actually dives into all sorts of New Year’s gift antics—almost more like “squeezing money out of grandparents and relatives.” It’s a New Year song that packs in everything from cute vocals to a sudden plunge into death-growl-like threats, plus straight-up comedy bits.
Try singing it at a get-together where everyone gets the joke!
Age Age Every KnightDJ OZMA
This is a signature track by DJ OZMA, who has a vibe similar to Shō Ayanokōji, the vocalist of Kishidan.
It’s a cover of Korean hip-hop group DJ DOC’s “Run To You,” with Japanese lyrics added—and notably, it incorporates mondegreens from the original as part of the lyrics.
The sound feels laid-back yet strongly beat-driven, creating a mood that stirs joy from deep inside.
The lyrics evoke a lively party atmosphere, conjuring images of people getting carried away on a dark dance floor.
It’s a song with a captivating, mysterious sense of drift—a blend of rowdiness and intrigue.
