[Japanese Pop] Cool dance tracks. Dance music everyone can groove to (91–100)
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.
Kids can dance along too!
MVPIwatatakanori
A much-talked-about solo track by Takanori Iwata, who’s active as a member of J SOUL BROTHERS III and EXILE, and was also featured in the Suntory Pepsi Nama BIG ZERO LEMON commercial.
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.
There are also lines that reflect on Iwata himself—his multifaceted talents as a singer, dancer, and actor—so be sure to take your time and read through the lyrics.

For your future5lack
This is a track that was released right around the time 5lack had a child.
Having his own kid may have changed his values.
He even touches on his child in the song.
When the track dropped, fans sent him congratulatory messages—recognizing him as an artist, as a father, and as a respectable man.
His unadorned, honest, down-to-earth lyrics really hit home.
He’s cool without putting on airs, and I think that’s exactly what “cool” feels like today.
E-NERGY BOYSDA PUMP
A track with an energetic beat and a catchy melody.
DA PUMP’s hip-hop–based style is showcased to the fullest.
Released in February 2024, it was also chosen as the theme song for the anime “BUCCHIGIRI?!”.
Expressing youth and a spirit of challenge through music, this piece energizes its listeners.
It’s perfect for when you want to fire yourself up or hype things up with friends.

Pump It Up! feat. TAKUMA THE GREATDA PUMP
An uptempo track themed around breakdancing.
It combines DA PUMP’s traditional dance-pop style with a feature from TAKUMA THE GREAT.
Released in June 2024, it was selected as the Japan Dance Sport Federation’s breakin’ anthem song and used in a commercial for Tokyu Fudosan Holdings.
The lyrics are full of positive energy, and the cool flow is especially appealing.
This release is recommended not only for dance lovers but also for anyone looking for a boost.
It’s a perfect pick for those seeking a song to dance to at live shows or something to ramp up the energy.
Use Your BodyDA PUMP
A DA PUMP track that ISSA himself praises as a “lively song where Japanese and English blend seamlessly.” It was released in February 2024 and was chosen as the theme song for the drama premiere series Black Girls Talk.
With love and passion as its themes, it features a catchy melody and an upbeat dance rhythm.
In addition to a brisk, confident vocal recording, the music video is said to be a fun, polished piece.
Filmed at Nasu Highland Park, the MV evokes an American-style amusement park with a cinematic, retro atmosphere.
Listening to the song and watching the MV will make you want to step out of your everyday life and express your emotions with your whole body.
SenpaiElto Klinhertz
You’ll be drawn in by the sound arrangement’s urban vibe.
It’s a track by Elto Klinhertz, the band fronted by guitarist-vocalist LISACHRIS, released in 2019.
With a solid, weighty bassline, delicate hi-hats, and vocal work that creates a languid, slightly ennui atmosphere, it’s an exceptionally stylish piece—one you’ll want to keep listening to.
If you’re looking for a dance track that’s a little different, be sure to check it out.
