Overview

ファミリーパーティー (Family Party) is a pop song by Japanese singer and fashion icon Kyary Pamyu Pamyu (きゃりーぱみゅぱみゅ), composed, arranged, and written by capsule frontman Yasutaka Nakata. Released as her ninth physical single in 2014, the track later appeared on her third studio album Pika Pika Fantajin (ピカピカふぁんたじん). It was selected as the ending theme for the 2014 animated film Eiga Crayon Shin-chan: Gachinko! Gyakushu no Robo To-chan (クレヨンしんちゃん ガチンコ!逆襲のロボとーちゃん), lending its upbeat, family-oriented lyrics about protecting shared happiness and holding hands through life's journey. The song was added to maimai at the launch of maimai ORANGE on September 18, 2014, where it originally sat under the POPS genre before being recategorized as POPS & ANIME in later versions. The in-game version uses the official music video as its background movie. ファミリーパーティー was later removed from the arcade roster on June 22, 2017, making it a legacy track unavailable on current DX cabinets. It also appeared in Taiko no Tatsujin, marking a rare crossover for this particular Kyary Pamyu Pamyu single across major Sega and Bandai Namco rhythm-game franchises. In Asian English releases, the song is displayed as Family Party by KYARY PAMYU PAMYU [PV]. The Master chart, designed by 某S氏 (Bou S shi), is rated level 10+ (constant 10.6) and stands out for its heavy Slide note density, 68 slides out of 460 total notes, creating a bouncy, choreographed feel that mirrors the song's playful energy. The Expert chart was designed by はっぴー (Happy).
