My cutest partFRUITS ZIPPER

[FRUITS ZIPPER] Dance lesson from the members themselves!! I tried dancing to “My Cutest Part” 💃

Songs by idol groups are a classic choice for a performance dance.

How about trying FRUITS ZIPPER’s “Watashi no Ichiban Kawaii Tokoro”? This song has surpassed 500 million views on TikTok and helped the group win the Japan Record Awards’ Best New Artist, so it’s highly recognized.

The choreography focuses on detailed hand movements.

Since there are many hand actions and minimal footwork, even beginners can enjoy dancing to this pop and cute track.

CharismaxSnow Man

[Mirrored Full] Snow Man 'Charismax' Dance Practice

The dance track “Charismax” is one that might prompt cries of “So nostalgic!” depending on the age of the dancers.

Released by Snow Man in 2025, it’s based on the once-trendy para-para dance.

It’s gone viral on social media for its addictive quality and is recommended if you’re looking to pick a hype song.

The choreography uses the whole body with dynamic moves, and it also mixes in elements of robot dance.

If you’re a beginner, it might be better to tweak the tougher parts of the choreography.

New Treasure IslandSakanakushon

Tried expressing SAKANACTION / Shin Takara-jima (theme song for the film “Bakuman.”) through Wotagei [performed by Kitanono Uchishitachi]

This is a song that was used as the theme for the live-action film Bakuman, which was adapted from a manga serialized in Jump.

The music video features quirky, surreal choreography, and despite being dance music, the airy feel of the track makes it very cute.

This video is arranged in the style of wotagei, incorporating dynamic movements that could be seen as the exact opposite approach.

LOSER / Kenshi Yonezu — Tried expressing it with Wotagei [Kita no Uchi-Shi-tachi]

It’s not dance music, but it’s notable for its flashy staging.

This is a pick from the so-called “odottemita” series that uses otagei.

As long as you have glow sticks, you don’t need to fuss over costumes, so it’s easy to incorporate.

It’s a song I highly recommend for performances after sunset or when dancing in the dark, such as indoors.

LIFE feat.birdMondo Grosso

MONDO GROSSO 『LIFE feat.bird』

A track created in collaboration with singer-songwriter bird! It was used as the campaign song for ANA Okinawa in 2000.

MONDO GROSSO originally started as a band, but it now operates as Shinichi Osawa’s solo project.

The house-music vibe really amps up the energy of a lively school festival.

When the song comes on, your body just starts moving naturally—the feeling is unbeatable!

Myaku-Myaku, pon!SO-SO

Rikka Ihara takes on the “Myakumyaku-pon!” dance choreographed by akane.

It’s a heart-thumping dance track created by SO-SO, a human beatboxer who shines at global competitions.

The four-on-the-floor beat and colorful sounds are so much fun.

The track even features Myaku-Myaku’s own voice, giving it an exciting vibe that makes you want to dance along.

Choreography is by akane, known for the Tomioka High School Dance Club, and a dance video featuring Rikka Ihara also became a hot topic.

It’s a happy tune you’ll want to play when you need an energy boost.

[SLH] Tried Dancing to 'Loki' [Original Choreography]

It may not be dance music, but many people might find it approachable because it’s close to what you’d call a band sound.

It’s incredibly catchy, so both those dancing and those watching will have a great time.

Practice aiming for the sharp, precise moves of SHARE LOCK HOMES, who perform “Odotte Mita” routines.
