Dance music that gets the crowd hyped at school festivals (71–80)
Blue and SummerMrs. GREEN APPLE
Mrs.
GREEN APPLE’s “Aoi to Natsu” is a captivating song with bright, refreshing sounds and vocals that evoke youth.
If you move your body to this track, you might feel a full-body sense of hope moving toward the future.
Since it’s a fast-tempo song, it’s recommended to keep each movement to two beats or otherwise leave some breathing room; move slowly so your facial expression can also stay relaxed.
If having too many movements makes it hard to feel the fun of the song, focusing on steps might be a good option.

A track released in 2019 by BALLISTIK BOYZ from EXILE TRIBE.
Not only the dance and rap, but the fashion and artwork are top-notch—the music video is super stylish.
It’s a fierce, danceable tune from this formidable group who seem poised to dominate the Reiwa era, the kind of song that makes you want to crank it loud on big speakers with the lows thumping.
CHOOSE GO!CHAI
Released in February 2019, CHOOSE GO! is the lead track from CHAI’s second album—a quintessentially CHAI, upbeat, high-energy dance number.
It’s poppy, up-tempo, and irresistibly body-moving.
It’s a dance song I especially recommend to women—one to dance to energetically and powerfully.
BANANACream
A track with a cute vibe, like stepping into a pop-art world in VHS quality.
As the title suggests, the lyrics are about a flashy “PLAYBOY.” Still, the piano arrangement and the slightly wistful lyrics and melody give it a nuanced flair that’s anything but straightforward.
It’s a number that can add a little spice to the summer of those bold, party-ready PLAYBOYs.

A rock number that’s a complete departure from their previous sound.
But you can dance to it! There’s a groove that connects to dance music, drawn from their career.
It has a mood that sits between Japanese rock and Western dance music.
Are they on their way to becoming something like the old Boom Boom Satellites? I’m excited to see what comes next! The texture of the vocals and the resonance of the guitar evoke a sweltering midsummer night.
Do Ya?I Don’t Like Mondays.
Released in April 2019, this I Don’t Like Mondays track bursts with irresistibly danceable, superbly Black-inspired rhythms and worldwide-caliber vocal flair.
The stylish, poppy, and humor-filled music video is also a major draw.
It’s such an insanely cool dance number that you’ll want to kick off your shoes, crack open a cola, and groove with your friends right in your room.
