YOASOBI “RGB” Official Music Video

If you dance to a song themed around friendship, it might be a chance to reaffirm your bonds.

With that in mind, I’d like to introduce “Sangenshoku.” It’s a track YOASOBI wrote, inspired by the short story “RGB.” Set to a stylish, pop sound, it portrays friends who have reunited and are confirming their friendship.

There’s even a rap section, and the frequent key and mood changes give it a dramatically different feel, making it perfect when you want to incorporate movements from a variety of genres.

Ninja Dance

From the drama centered on ninjas, “Ninja ni Kekkon wa Muzukashii” (Marriage Is Difficult for a Ninja), we’d like to introduce its theme song, “Ninja Dance.” You may have seen it on social media, where celebrities and characters dance to the track—so many of you might already know it.

The choreography is designed with ninja movements as its motif, which is a key highlight.

It’s a good idea to adjust the difficulty to match children’s ages.

There are some cool moves too, so start by learning the choreography slowly and practice at an easy pace.
