Dance numbers from Japanese music that were hits in the 2000s. Songs that make you want to dance on TikTok (1–10)
sense of shameshuuchishin
This is a signature song by Shuchishin, a unit formed from the Fuji TV quiz show “Quiz! Hexagon.” It carries a powerful message about overcoming failures and moving forward, but it’s also fun to consider that it was performed by three members known on the show for their series of bizarre answers—giving the lyrics a different flavor.
With its catchy tune and choreography, it follows the classic formula of a three-member male idol group, and its easy-to-copy nature is part of its charm.
The chorus features an arm-rotating move above the head that symbolizes the song; adding a burst of energy here to draw in the crowd works especially well.
PolyrhythmPerfume
This is a signature song by Perfume, the technopop unit produced by Yasutaka Nakata.
The digitally textured sound, with its emphasis on rhythm—a hallmark of the group—evokes sharp, precise dance moves.
A major characteristic is the meter change in the interlude; grasping this rhythm firmly is likely a crucial point when dancing.
Another key appeal of the unit is how the trio’s crisp movements align perfectly, so it’s important to stay mindful of the headcount and the interplay among members.
Choo Choo TRAINEXILE
A beloved national dance number released by ZOO in 1991 and by EXILE in 2003, famous for the “Guruguru Dance.” Just doing that dance—where the members line up in a straight vertical line and spin one by one with staggered timing—puts a smile on everyone’s face.
With its catchy melody, danceable rhythm, and positive lyrics, it’s an exceptional youth anthem.
Transcending eras, imagine an exciting future as you sing and dance with light steps.
Joyfulikimonogakari
Among Ikimono-gakari’s songs, this one has an upbeat, pop vibe that’s fully geared toward fun.
It drew attention as the CM song for Ezaki Glico’s Pocky, and the lively choreography with Pocky sticks in both hands is a delightful highlight.
As the title suggests, it’s important to express your sense of joy to the fullest.
The lyrics place great value on the sound of the words, which further emphasizes the fun, so it might be best not only to dance but to hum along while you move.
Love so sweetarashi
This is a song by Arashi that created a big buzz in the J-pop scene of the 2000s.
It’s characterized by its pop lyrics and catchy melody, with a bright atmosphere that evokes the start of romance, hope, and joy.
Released in February 2007, it was used as the theme song for the drama “Hana Yori Dango 2 (Returns).” It achieved major success, ranking high on the Oricon charts and selling over a million copies.
The song is also popular as a dance number, with easy choreography, making it a great choice for livening up events and performances.
It’s a hit on TikTok as well, perfect for when you want to let loose and have fun.
