Rat-tat-tatSandaime Jē Sōru Burazāzu fromu Eguzairu Toraibu
When it comes to songs by Sandaime (J Soul Brothers), dance is a given, but they often seem a bit challenging.
However, Rat-tat-tat is a track I highly recommend even for people with no dance experience—and you can dance to it while singing along.
It’s famous as the “Ratatata Dance” at USJ’s Halloween events and often pops up on social media around that time.
With irresistibly quirky moves and an addictive vibe, it’s a number that gets everyone hyped regardless of gender.

It’s a hip-hop number with a striking, powerful beat, drawing attention for its sharp rap and dance performance.
The lyrics exude confidence—as if declaring “I’m the MVP!”—and just reading them can give you courage, making it a resonant cheer song.
