夜もキメろ!!
Why is キメ written in kana? Is it related to キモイ?

アゲる is a fairly new slang word meaning "to raise one's spirits".
アゲる季節がやってきた means "The season to raise our spirits has come."
キメる is a slang word meaning "to be succesful" here. The other important meaning is "to wear (certain items) and look good".
夜もキメろ essentially means "Pick up a good one at night."
Whenever you see a word in katakana that you might expect to be in kanji, you are seeing a regular old word being used for a new slang meaning.
This happens all the time.
決める = to decide
キメる = what I said above
上げる = to physically raise an object
アゲる = to upload, to raise one's spirits
