Halloween Party (song)
Halloween Party is a 2012 song by the Japanese supergroup Halloween Junky Orchestra. Written and produced by Hyde, it was part of a Halloween project led by the rock group Vamps and featured more than a dozen well-known musicians. The single was released on October 17, 2012 by Vamprose, in two CD+DVD editions, with the limited edition including a bonus booklet. The B-side is the instrumental “Penalty Waltz.”
The song reached No. 3 on the Oricon Singles Chart, stayed on the chart for 30 weeks, and was certified Gold by the RIAJ for sales over 100,000. All tracks were written by Hyde. A limited 2013 re-release added the track “Halloween Party -feat. Hydes-,” featuring Hyde on lead vocals.
Halloween Party was later covered by Halloween Dolls (a group of 15 vocalists and 5 dancers) in 2015, produced by Hyde; the CD was distributed as a free sample to kindergartens and nurseries nationwide.
Hyde also self-covered the song for the opening theme of the 2020 anime film Poupelle of Chimney Town, titled “Halloween Party -Poupelle Ver.-.” This version features a brass-heavy industrial arrangement and some lyric changes to fit the movie, with child singers participating.
