Wotagei is the dance where fans wave glow sticks at idol concerts! Let’s give it a try! You can dance to any song you like.

There are lots of different wotagei moves, and PPPH—where you clap and chant “pan, pa-pan, hyuu” in time with the romance or the rhythm of the song—is especially well-known.

There are many other types too, so try combining them, grab a penlight, and get into full otaku mode!

It’s the major-label debut single by Momoiro Clover Z and one of their signature songs.

The tempo is very fast and the dance is intense, but if you can nail a full copy, you’ll be the hero of any party! I definitely want you to go all-in with a Momoclo cosplay and really get into character.

The highlight, of course, is Kanako Momota’s iconic “ebizori jump”! Let’s practice so you can hit it perfectly!

Yoko Oginome’s “Dancing Hero,” which had a resurgence after the Osaka Prefectural Takaoka High School Dance Club used it in their “Bubble Dance” video, is already popular at year-end and New Year parties, so it’s highly recommended if you’re looking for a safe, crowd-pleasing act.

People from older generations know it too, so it’s sure to get everyone hyped together.

King & Prince’s debut single “Cinderella Girl,” released in 2018, is also popular among women as a karaoke song.

It’s a track you often see women doing dance covers of, too.

If men try to copy it, please be very careful—don’t shatter the dream! If you go all out seriously, I think you’ll get complaints from fans, so lean into it as a bit.

An upbeat song that became a million-selling hit as the debut single of Pucchimoni, the idol group consisting of Maki Goto, Sayaka Ichii, and Kei Yasuda from Morning Musume.

It’s a high-energy dance track recommended for women, and it leaves a strong impression with lyrics that bring everything together neatly at the end.

Ado’s “Show” became the theme song for Universal Studios Japan’s Halloween event.

As the track progresses, the groove picks up, and you’ll definitely feel like jumping up to dance! What’s more, the lyrics—rich with difficult kanji—are not only pleasing to the ear, but also add an extra boost to the dance vibe.

The highlight of the Halloween event, “Zombie de Dance,” is packed with unique choreography that’s sure to excite both dancers and spectators alike.

If you want to stand out at year-end or New Year parties, give it a try!

DA PUMP / P.A.R.T.Y. ~Universe Festival~ Long version
P.A.R.T.Y. ~Universe Festival~DA PUMP

This is a song by DA PUMP, who made a comeback with “U.S.A.” and even performed at the Kouhaku (Red and White Year-End Song Festival).

Compared to “U.S.A.,” this track may seem a bit less intense, but its catchy groove and brightness are just as strong as their other songs.

The choreography is relatively simple, so with some practice, anyone can dance to it.

It looks even cooler when a large group synchronizes the moves, making it perfect for a dance performance! Of course, it’s also recommended for karaoke, where a few people can sing while dancing together.
