Dance music to hype up cultural and school festivals (111–120)
Continuation of the Dream feat. DengaryuEVISBEATS
If you find that uptempo tracks alone just don’t cut it, this is the song I recommend.
It’s “Yume no Tsuzuki” (“The Continuation of a Dream”), a collaboration between EVISBEATS, a trackmaker from Nara Prefecture, and the rapper Dengaryu.
The keyboards, vocal harmonies, guitar, and bass layer together subtly yet intricately—super stylish, right? Put this on casually and your friends are sure to see you in a new light!
Dance music that excites at cultural and school festivals (121–130)
Psychedelic Romance feat. SALUEXILE SHOKICHI
A solo number by EXILE member SHOKICHI.
He teams up once again with SALU, with whom he also collaborated on “Good Vibes Only.” Choreography is by Shaun Evaristo—who has worked with artists like Justin Bieber—creating a fun, upbeat atmosphere.
The lively Latin track produced by Ava1anche, a producer and DJ active in both Japan and the U.S., is sure to elevate any fun moment.
In line with the song’s message that everyday life becomes colorful when you’re in a happy mood, let’s make the day of the school festival vibrant with this track!

When you think of hip-hop, don’t you sometimes picture something flashy and swaggering? There are artists like that, but ZORN is a little different.
It starts with a guitar that sounds lonely, and his rap, delivered at a relaxed tempo, opens up a world only he could描く—only he could paint.
His lyrics make you wonder: What kinds of things has he seen in his life? It’s a song wrapped in melancholy and nostalgia.
Planktonmillennium parade
This is a track from Daiki Tsuneta of King Gnu’s new project, millennium parade! Millennium parade is a project themed around the sounds of Tokyo as heard from the world’s perspective.
On this song, Plankton, participants include Kazuki Arai from King Gnu, ermhoi from Black Boboi, Fumitake Ezaki from WONK, and Tsuneta’s real-life older brother, Shuntaro Tsuneta.
It’s not an all-out dance tune; it’s more of a stylish, atmospheric track that works great as BGM in front of a school festival stage or at a booth.
SunriseChipuruso
This is a song called “Sunrise” by Tipleso, a rapper from Osaka.
The strings are beautifully arranged and suit the original lyrics very well.
Back when Tipleso took part in MC battles, his skill at rhyming earned him respect from those around him.
Now that he’s retired from rap battles, it feels like he’s making music that’s even more pleasant to the ear than before.
It’s a track where you can feel his determination to pursue his own path, wherever that may be.
I can hear a voice.Mukai Taichi
This is a song by Taichi Mukai, a singer-songwriter from Fukuoka.
It was featured as the CM song for SAHARA’s “Aisare Tiger Campaign 2019 SUMMER.” The track is included on the digital EP “27.” You can sense his background of growing up on Black music in the song’s stylish, distinctive worldview; its overall atmosphere makes for a pleasantly ear-pleasing number.
Sweat will be shed for you.Bairin Tarō
This is the number made famous by the Pocari Sweat commercial.
When you think of this song, it’s all about the razor-sharp dancing by the students showcased in the ad! It’s the kind of choreography that makes you want to copy it and dance along when you see it.
There’s that intense heat and the sparkle of youth that only students can bring…
It’d be great to pack all of that in and try dancing to it with your class or with everyone at school!
