Age Age Every KnightDJ OZMA
This is a song that shines at drinking parties.
The rap in the A-melody gets everyone hyped, the chorus makes you want to drink to the rhythm, and overall it takes the vibe up another notch.
Even if you can’t sing it, it would be fun to put together a DJ set and do an air-band performance.

Looking for an essential, hype-boosting track to fire up your party? Ilmania’s songs are a perfect fit! This party-people crew from Iruma City in Saitama Prefecture dropped their debut single in July 2015, and it’s the ultimate feel-good banger.
Blending hip-hop and house, it pairs an infectious sound with lyrics about the magic of love and an invitation to a dreamlike world.
With its simple, catchy melody, it’s guaranteed to get everyone moving—from the young to the young-at-heart.

ThrillerMichael Jackson
Michael Jackson’s horror-themed dance song, with its brilliant rhythm and danceable sound, is perfect for a sports day finale! With choreography inspired by zombie moves, it’s sure to get kids’ hearts pumping.
Known as the title track of the album Thriller, released in November 1982, the piece blends pop, R&B, and disco elements to perfection.
The music video—produced with a budget of $500,000—made waves for its zombie dance, sparking huge reactions and opening up new possibilities for music videos.
It can be arranged to match events like ball-toss games and other sports day activities, making it a popular, highly recommended dance track that everyone can enjoy!
survival dAnce ～no no cry more～TRF
This is a well-known classic—needless to say—the first song by TRF to achieve a million sales.
From the intro it has easy call-and-response parts, and it stays exciting from start to finish.
I think even people from different generations can get into it thanks to the repeated phrases.
Subtly flashy (bling-bling, but nonchalant)Masahiko Kondo
One of Masahiko Kondo—aka Matchy’s—signature songs! It also closed out the 2015 Kohaku (New Year’s Eve music show).
Many people will recognize and be able to sing the chorus.
It’s also an easy-to-use track known across a wide range of generations.

WHITE BREATHT.M.Revolution
It was used as the theme song for the drama “Pop Jam” and is still a crowd-pleasing hit, but it’s shown a different side after being used in comedian Akira 100%’s routine.
I think it’s dangerous to imitate Akira 100% exactly, so you should definitely keep your pants on, but I’m sure it will hype things up.
like that!! pt.2 feat. Sanarilol - el-oh-el
At a party where all kinds of people gather, you might just find the spark for romance.
Boosting that atmosphere is “like that!! pt.
2 feat.
sanari” by lol.
The lyrics, which portray the beginning of love and its frustrating hesitations between a man and a woman, perfectly match the thrill of the moment and heighten the excitement.
Lose yourself in this sweet, mellow track woven from the beautifully distinctive vocals of lol’s members and sanari’s captivating rap.
