Sake, Tears, Men, and WomenEigo Kawashima
This is Eigo Kawashima’s signature song “Sake, Tears, Men and Women,” and he sadly passed away in 2001.
It’s a perfect fit for a mellow, mature drinking scene.
Many people have probably heard their fathers sing it.
When it was released and became a hit, it was even used in a commercial for alcohol.
The song is also famous for having been covered by a great many artists.
A booze-belly sake☆Band Ja Naimon! MAXX NAKAYOSHI
Band ja Nai Mon! MAXX NAKAYOSHI is an idol unit formed by Misako Suzuki (Misako Suzuhime) from Shinsei Kamattechan.
Are they a band or not? The melodies are idol-like, but what about this song? It raises all sorts of questions, but this track, “Sakeppara Dai-Sake☆,” is completely and utterly about alcohol.
The call-and-response section in the middle makes it a huge crowd-pleaser at karaoke—it’s a full-on drinking song.
The chorus really brings out that classic idol vibe.
It’s a number that gets the room buzzing, especially when women sing it at drinking parties or karaoke.
Lend me your hands! One more time!Misaki Shimoda
There’s that thing called a “call” that party people and flashy types always do at drinking gatherings, right? Misaki Shimoda mastered those calls.
She uploaded call videos on YouTube, which led to TV appearances and boosted her popularity as a party-girl figure.
Her song “Ote wo Haishaku! Mou Iccho!” is her 2013 debut track, packed with all the classic drinking-call moments and relatable scenes.
It might feel a bit old—or nostalgic—but it’s guaranteed to get the party going if you sing it at a drinking get-together.
Kenji KitagawaNMB48
A song released by NMB48 in 2012, featuring an upbeat, lively melody and bright vocals.
The title, “Kenji Kitagawa,” refers to an assistant producer in charge of visuals for AKB48.
When enjoying this track as a drinking song, the key moment is the part of the lyrics where his name is sung! Many people have fun by swapping in the name of the person they want to make drink.
It can end up being somewhat coercive, so read the room and have fun without pushing it too far!

Dohatsuten’s hallmark is songs that let you blow off the stress of everyday work and all those pent-up gloomy feelings in one go.
Many people—especially working adults—have probably been saved by their music and find it really hits home.
This track, “Sake Nenryo Bakushinkyoku” (“Alcohol-Fueled Explosive New Song”), is one I highly recommend as a companion to your drink and for stress relief.
Dohatsuten has lots of songs about alcohol, and a standout feature is how many of them pair booze with high energy—the ultimate mood-boosting combo.

Tunnels’ “Ora Ora” portrays drunken behavior throughout the entire song.
Released in 1987, it features lyrics by Yasushi Akimoto and music by Tsugutoshi Gotō, who also composed for the 48 groups including AKB48, as well as Onyanko Club.
People often say, “Drink, but don’t let the drink control you,” yet the characters in this song seem completely controlled by alcohol.
Some listeners might picture someone they know who’s just like that, while others may find themselves thinking, “I’ve done that too,” and relate to it.
