[J-Pop] Cool dance tracks. Dance music everyone can groove to (71–80)
So heavy.Chiba Yūki
In January 2025, Yuki Chiba released a music video from his album “STAR” for a track marked by its heavy beat and dark mood.
The weighty production wraps around themes of loneliness and inner conflict, while lyrics that candidly address pressure and social anxiety blend seamlessly with it.
The song unfolds an introspective, deeply layered lyrical world, and the monochrome MV—featuring him walking alone against an urban nightscape—powerfully reinforces that atmosphere.
A solo concert at Nippon Budokan has been set for July 3, 2025, further heightening expectations for the live performance of this piece.
It’s a perfect track not only for hip-hop fans but also for anyone who resonates with feelings of pressure and isolation, and it’s sure to make a striking impact on the dance floor.
Don’t Stop80KIDZ
A track with heavy use of vocoder, a disco-like bassline, and a techno-tinged approach—true to their Balearic style—where a sharp, urban piano tone gently envelops the ears.
It’s an 80kidz song released digitally in July 2019.
If you talk about the duo who, at the height of the French electro boom, were the only act from Japan to break out globally, it’s these two—though technically they were a trio at the time.
The female member MAYU left in 2009.
Even so, they only became more energetic in their activities, releasing many works and turning into a band that gigs around the world.
GoingCTS
This is a masked Japanese three-member electronic dance pop unit consisting of Circle on vocals, Triangle on synthesizer, and Square as the DJ, all wearing special masks equipped with LEDs.
They initially released music on an independent label, but in September 2013 they moved to Universal Music’s Delicious Deli Records.
This song was released in November 2018.

Young NightsKSUKE
While performing worldwide from major festivals across the globe to nightclubs, producer and DJ KSUKE—who also draws attention as DJ DANGER×DEER (DJ / KSUKE) from Coronamonamoremomo (Maximum the Hormone No.
2)—delivered a flagship track in 2019.
Amid the buzz surrounding the announcement of his first appearance as DJ DANGER×DEER (DJ / KSUKE) at ROCK IN JAPAN FESTIVAL 2019, the song was also selected as the CM track for ULTRA JAPAN 2019.
SPICE feat.FARMHOUSE (SUSHIBOYS)PARKGOLF
A cutting-edge producer who has been drawing attention in that scene since 2015, producing tracks for artists like Sakura Yura, Uchu Amagawa, and DAOKO.
His track “Kiss Me,” released on Osaka label Day Tripper Records led by Seiho as their first digital release, impressively reached No.
1 on the iTunes Electronic chart.
The song was released in July 2019.
It’s a much-talked-about work that puts hip-hop—his roots, including influences like KREVA—front and center!
CUT IT UPPKCZ® ft. CL & Afrojack
A creative unit from LDH led by producers EXILE’s HIRO, MAKIDAI, m-flo’s VERBAL, and former DEXPISTOLS member DJ DARUMA—PKCZ—teams up with CL, the rapper from K-pop group 2NE1, and the ever-familiar EDM titan, Afrojack, for this track.
With themes like samurai, ninja, and swords, it feels distinctly crafted more for an international audience than a domestic one.
Dance-pop from Japan that stands strong on the global stage!
Just Used Music AgainRHYME SO
A unit consisting of MONDO GROSSO’s Shinichi Osawa—whose sudden announcement in September 2019 drew widespread attention—and RHYME, who is active as a DJ, singer-songwriter, and model.
In 2019, they released music via the globally acclaimed label 88rising.
In the fast-changing world of dance music, their sound leans nostalgic with a filter-house feel, yet by reinventing how it’s presented and heard, it comes across as remarkably fresh.
It’s said that several messages are hidden within the work.
A mysterious track with a hint of melancholy.
