アガる
Significado: To get pumped up or excited — describes one's mood or energy level rising.
Written in katakana to distinguish it from the standard verb 上がる (agaru, to rise), アガる specifically refers to emotional excitement or energy going up. It is closely related to テンション上がる but works as a standalone expression. Common in party, music, and fashion contexts — anything that lifts your spirits. Often heard at clubs, festivals, and in response to exciting news.
