"Family Party" (ファミリーパーティー, Famirī Pātī) is the ninth physical single by Japanese singer Kyary Pamyu Pamyu. It was released on April 16, 2014, in both regular and limited editions. The A-side is used as the official ending song for the film Eiga Crayon Shin-chan: Gachinko! Gyakushu no Robo To-chan. The music video was released on April 8, 2014.

The single was revealed at the film's press conference on March 2014. Kyary stated that it is her second contribution to the anime series after "Kimi ni 100 Percent" and overall her first original theme song for a film. She said that she owned all volumes of the manga and commented that "I am very happy that I will be in charge of the theme song for my favorite 'Crayon Shin-chan' once again! This time, it's a song with a family theme, so it's a song that the entire family can enjoy together."

Yasutaka Nakata of Capsule stated that the song would be a pop song with a warm and sentimental feel to it and the theme would be "Family Bond". Three official covers were also revealed by Unborde, with the theme of robots. On March 23, 2014, Kyary Pamyu Pamyu first performed the song live on stage in Sydney, Australia, during her second world tour.

The video starts with Kyary Pamyu Pamyu and her opponent, which appears to be a robot, are being analyzed. Kyary and the Robot do a fighting pose while a dog and a bird appear on their corresponding sides. The referee blows a horn then waves his flag to start the dancing-like sport. Both Kyary and the Robot do some moves with 2 big bubble blower shaped rods. Then the referee pulls out a card with a picture of piece of cake on it. The competition moves on to using dominoes. The robot is putting dominoes next to each other but then Kyary toppled the dominoes and pretends like nothing happened. The robot argues with the referee that it wasn't his fault but the referee doesn't allow it. Kyary's facial expression afterwards states that she did it. The robot then malfunctioned. The camera zooms in to the robot's right eye and it appears to be the robot is being controlled by a robot Kyary. The robot Kyary panicks and then bangs the control system. The robot then functions again. The competition then proceeds with the dancing-like sport. The referee does a lot of poses while the game is ongoing. After that they have a break. There's a presentation being held which happens right after. It's Kyary but with light blue hair and she's wearing a tinfoil dress with some aliens right next to her. The competition resumes with the sport. Alongside with the robot, Kyary then puts on a helmet connected to a table while the referee dances on top of the table. The final round of the competition takes place right after that. They continue playing the sport but their moves got more serious. Kyary appears to be winning. She makes a final move to end the game and then she wins the competition. The referee, the robot and Kyary then jump for joy because of Kyary's victory. There's a total of 3 different outfits in the music video.
