Maru Maru Mori Mori!Kaoru to Tomoki, tama ni Mukku.
A song by the unit “Kaoru to Tomoki, Tamani Mook,” the character-name duo of Mana Ashida and Fuku Suzuki from the TV drama Marumo no Okite.
The sight of then-six-year-olds Mana Ashida and Fuku Suzuki singing and dancing the routine—known by names like “Marumori Dance,” “Marumo Dance,” “Marumori Taiso,” and “Marumo Taiso”—became a major talking point.
With simple choreography that even children can do, it’s easy for dance beginners, too.
It’s a dance number that sparked a social phenomenon, and we hope people of all ages, from kids to adults, will enjoy dancing it.

The track was featured as the commercial song for Universal Studios Japan’s limited-time event “Universal Surprise Halloween,” for which the members served as ambassadors.
The “Rat-tat-tat Dance,” which also appears in the title, is undeniably catchy.

Joyfulikimonogakari
This is the 15th single by Ikimonogakari, a duo that continues to produce hits across a wide musical spectrum, from upbeat pop tunes to ballads.
Released as a double A-side with YELL, a song widely known as a graduation classic, it was written specifically for Ezaki Glico’s Pocky commercial.
The cute choreography—especially the arm-rotating move in the chorus—creates a strong impact despite its simplicity.
Catchy and free of difficult moves, this dance is also recommended for beginners.
Fortune Cookie in LoveAKB48
In today’s J-POP scene—often called the “Warring States period of idols”—AKB48, practically synonymous with idol groups, released this as their 32nd major single.
Its arrangement, reminiscent of late-1970s to 1980s disco sounds, significantly transformed the group’s image and garnered support from listeners across generations.
With no intricate choreography and a relaxed tempo, even beginners can learn the dance with a bit of practice.
It’s a go-to number that reliably livens up events like party entertainment or farewell and welcome gatherings.
DangerholicSnow Man
Snow Man is a nationally popular idol group.
Their song “Dangerholic” serves as the theme for the drama Trillion Game, starring group member Ren Meguro.
It’s a danceable track that captures the drama’s free-spirited protagonist.
The upbeat sound pairs well with big, dynamic choreography.
You can mimic the original choreography or enjoy it with simpler moves.
Hare Hare YukaiSuzumiya Haruhi (Hirano Aya), Nagato Yuki (Chihara Minori), Asahina Mikuru (Goto Yuko)
If you want to dance but would rather groove to anime songs than club music, I recommend “Hare Hare Yukai.” This song was the ending theme of the hugely popular 2006 anime The Melancholy of Haruhi Suzumiya.
In the actual ending sequence, the characters perform an adorable dance to the theme song.
Because of that, there are tons of “I tried dancing” videos posted online.
Even the hugely popular voice actor Tomokazu Sugita has posted his own dance video.
Try practicing while watching the videos!
Yo-kai Exercise No. 1Dream5
A five-member dance and vocal unit born from NHK Educational TV’s program “Tensai TV-kun MAX,” Dream5’s 12th single.
Used as the ending theme for the TV anime “Yo-kai Watch,” the song features a melody and dance that unmistakably evoke exercise, and it’s super catchy.
The choreography is simple enough for kids who are fans of the anime to copy, making it easy even for dance beginners.
Thanks to the anime’s popularity and its comedic vibe, it’s a surefire crowd-pleaser for party entertainment and the like.
