[J-Pop] Cool dance tracks. Dance music everyone can groove to (81–90)
I Feel Tired EverydaySeiho
A ravey yet somewhat wistful house track from Seiho, a cutting-edge artist from Osaka, released in February 2019.
Having digested a wide range of genres and left behind numerous sounds that defined their times, the sound he put forward in 2019 carried a calm mood reminiscent of deep house.
As tech house and deep house continue to gain recognition worldwide, I believe he’ll be quick to bring them into the pop scene as well.
His past work has been highly acclaimed, including producing music for a Mercedes-Benz commercial and for Daichi Miura.
RainmanSerph, DE DE MOUSE
A solo project by a man who continues to be active based in Tokyo.
He has performed live at venues such as LIQUIDROOM in Tokyo and has achieved great success.
Though he remains shrouded in mystery, his greatest appeal is, above all, his beautiful melodies.
On this track, a collaboration with the veteran DE DE MOUSE makes it even catchier.
With its uniquely chopped vocal textures, it also gives a more modern pop impression.
Toxic Sweet feat. JP THE WAVYm-flo
A summer killer tune from m-flo featuring JP THE WAVY, packed with tropical island flavor and a distinctive reggae-style beat! The song tells a love story between a beautiful yet hard-to-handle, dangerous Martian heroine and a man, expressed with m-flo’s signature comedic lyrics.
This time, DJ ☆Taku also raps, and the unprecedented back-and-forth among the three MCs, complemented by LISA’s melodies and exquisite vocals, results in an outstanding mic relay.
The music video features surreal footage of the m-flo members freely roaming around Los Angeles—from Venice Beach to Downtown—with a vibrant, street-style finish.
JP THE WAVY also appears as wall art, adding to the pop, urban vibe.
exciteMiura Daichi
It’s a song with both calm and energetic parts, so adding sharp movements makes it look really cool.
I think it will look impressive whether you perform it solo or in sync with a group.
Also, since it was used as a theme for Kamen Rider Ex-Aid, it’s a song that’s popular with kids too.
Funkify YouB.B.WAVES
B.B.WAVES’ debut captivates with an energetic, funk-driven sound.
The powerful choral work and the sharp dance performance in the music video are seriously cool! Their overflowing passion shines through the music, the vocals, and the choreography.
It’s a lively, dance-inducing track that’s sure to be a hit at parties and other high-energy scenes!
Bling-Bang-Bang-BornCreepy Nuts
Defined by its energetic, danceable beat, this track carries a powerful message of self-affirmation and the spirit of challenge.
The lyrics, which express a free spirit unbound by society’s expectations, are sure to inspire courage in listeners.
Released in January 2024, the song was used as the opening theme for Season 2 of the TV anime Mashle: Magic and Muscles, generating significant buzz both in Japan and abroad.
It has also attracted international attention, ranking eighth on the Billboard Global 200 for the week.
The dance that the anime characters perform during the chorus features strikingly unique moves, prompting countless posts on social media.
It’s the perfect song for moments when you want to dance and have fun, like at a party with friends.
Experience this track packed with everything that makes Creepy Nuts so compelling.

dance hallMrs. GREEN APPLE
This song, with its dance-inducing sound and uplifting lyrics, was released by Mrs.
GREEN APPLE in May 2022.
It likens life to a dance hall and conveys the importance of overcoming hardships and having fun.
Written specifically as the theme for Fuji TV’s “Mezamashi 8,” it became a tune that brightens up the morning show.
It’s also included on the mini-album “Unity.” In the music video, the band took on the unusual challenge of dancing.
Apparently, during their hiatus, the members learned dance from scratch.
It’s a perfect track for when you want to get hyped with friends or boost your motivation.
