Dance music that gets the crowd hyped at school festivals (71–80)
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.
being intimidatedDATS
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.
Dance music that heats up at school culture festivals (81–90)
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.
I Think I’m FallingKOHH
Relaxing at a tropical resort with someone you love… sounds wonderful, doesn’t it? This is a track by KOHH, a hip-hop MC from Tokyo.
It was released digitally in 2019.
You can almost picture the sparkling summer sunshine and the blue ocean.
Listening to it really puts you at ease.
In fact, why not play it as background music when you’re spending time alone with your partner?
international studentMONKEY MAJIK × Okazaki Taiiku
A parade of misheard lyrics, this is a track where you can enjoy a passionate, funky midsummer groove.
It practically feels like Western pop, and the lyrics—seen from a Japanese college student’s perspective about an international student studying abroad—are fresh and amusing.
In contrast to how cool the two members of MONKEY MAJIK look as they brood at the bar counter at the start of the MV, Okazaki Taiiku is, as always, perfectly in his usual groove!
DiDistancePUSHIM
PUSHIM is an R&B singer from Osaka with Korean roots.
“DiDistance” is an appealing track that features an Asian-inspired sound, blending both Japanese elements and a touch of Korean exoticism.
With vocal prowess and expressive power on par with Western music, she is a formidable diva in Japan’s R&B scene.
