Nippon Egao Hyakkei is a song by Japanese idol group Momoiro Clover Z, released as the ending theme for the 2012 anime Joshiraku, a comedy about a group of rakugo performers. Its title roughly means one hundred smiling faces of Japan, and its traditional festival flavour mixed with modern pop helped it stand out from other anime themes. Short clips later circulated online in anime music videos, edits and meme compilations, where its instantly recognisable opening became shorthand for cheerful chaos and over-the-top enthusiasm.
About this sound
A short, energetic clip of Nippon Egao Hyakkei, the upbeat Japanese opening song from the anime Joshiraku, often used in anime edits and cheerful meme videos.
This clip captures a bright, fast-paced burst of Nippon Egao Hyakkei, with cheerful female vocals, driving drums and a playful, almost festival-like melody that instantly feels celebratory. The rhythm bounces forward without pause, the voices sound mischievous and full of energy, and the short length makes it feel like a sudden burst of excitement rather than a full song. Hearing it tends to lift the mood of a scene, turning an ordinary moment into something comedic, triumphant or absurdly upbeat, which is why it works so well as a punchline or a transition in short-form video.
