A Special Feature on Easy-to-Learn Idol Dances! A Roundup of Easy-to-Imitate Choreography (1–10)
Barefoot SummerNEW!Nogizaka 46
This Nogizaka46 song features an easy-to-remember choreography that’s great for beginners.
The tempo is a bit on the slower side, yet the song has a fresh, driving, and open feel, and the moves themselves aren’t difficult.
There are many idol-like motions, giving it a catchy charm that feels part choreography, part gestures.
The routine focuses on fundamentals—using the hands and arms and bouncing to the beat—so if you have a good sense of rhythm, you’ll likely pick it up quickly.
The chorus choreography is especially easy to remember, so be sure to watch the video and try copying it.
ultra-strongestNEW!Chou Tokimeki♡Sendenbu
This song by Cho Tokimeki♥Sendenbu has a moderate tempo and an easy-to-get-into groove.
The choreography features many repetitive movements, making it easy to learn.
In addition to the fundamental dance actions of taking down and up rhythms, it includes lots of cute hand and arm movements and motions that match the lyrics, which makes the actions easy to associate and remember.
There are also several moments in the song where you do familiar movements like skipping or striking a pose and then stopping, making the dance very catchy.
In particular, the chorus uses repeated movements, so I think the difficulty isn’t too high and it’s easy to memorize.
Specially, do it.NEW!＝LOVE
=LOVE’s “Tokubechu, Shite” has the feel of classic Japanese idols.
Its choreography is adorably idol-like and notably easy to learn.
In line with the song’s theme, it features plenty of moves anyone can copy at a glance, like blowing kisses and making heart shapes with the hands.
There aren’t many difficult techniques, and because many moves match the lyrics, I felt the dance is easy to memorize.
Since the choreography prioritizes cuteness, understanding the lyrics and the song’s mood will help you remember it even more.
If you let your girlish charm shine without feeling shy, it’ll surely turn into a great dance—so definitely give it a try!

Fortune Cookie in LoveNEW!AKB48
This is another hit song from AKB48 that defined an era.
The disco-style melody makes it easy to keep the rhythm, and the choreography is simple to learn—monotone yet irresistibly imitable.
The chorus features the so-called “onigiri dance,” which is catchy and easy to remember.
As you can see in the music video where many people are dancing, I think it’s a lovely routine that even beginners can handle.
The counts are easy to follow and the tempo isn’t fast, so it’s a great track to try.
Single‑minded Cinderella!NEW!CUTIE STREET
CUTIE STREET’s “Hitamuki Cinderella” features choreography that fully showcases their unique cuteness.
Since hand movements are the main focus, the moves themselves aren’t difficult, but they are a bit detailed, so some beginners might find them a little challenging.
However, there are playful actions and repetitive sequences, so you’ll definitely be able to learn it! The key is to firmly memorize the coordination between the chorus steps and the hand movements.
It’s common to focus on either the feet or the hands and let the other get sloppy, so make sure to ingrain the movements in your body and give it a try!
Blue JeansNEW!HANA
Because the song has a gentle melody with a slightly slower tempo, the choreography is also relaxed.
The steps at the beginning of the chorus and the hand-focused moves that evoke clock hands during the “1 a.m.” lyric are easy for beginners to learn.
In the final chorus near the end of the song, the choreography applies rhythm-keeping and up-and-down movements, so I think it’s easy to learn across the entire track.
The lyrics also include many emotional actions and gestures, which become key points.
Be sure to learn the whole song and try dancing to it!
Try going kyururin (make a cute, twirly pose/gesture)NEW!kyururin tte shite mite
“Kyururin Shitemite” features adorably distinctive moves and is a dance that beginners can learn.
The choreography isn’t very difficult; it combines simple steps with hand movements.
The chorus choreography is especially memorable, but it doesn’t include any particularly hard moves, so it feels like you could learn it just by watching the video.
The key point is that there are several sections where you keep the same pose while marking the rhythm, so as long as you grasp the order of the poses, even beginners can pick it up with ease!
