Primarily active in Tokyo, I have experience as a backup dancer for artists, a music video dancer, and a commercial dancer. I continue to work as a dancer while also engaging in article production. After discovering Michael Jackson in junior high school, I began dancing in my second year of high school. Since starting dance, in addition to the J-Pop and Japanese rock I had been listening to, I began exploring Western R&B, rap, alternative music, and other tracks commonly used for dance. In elementary school, I spent three years in a choir, and because I love singing, I often go to karaoke for fun. These days, I enjoy a wide range of music, from Japanese rock and rap to K-pop.

When you watch idol songs, the catchy choreography that makes your body move almost on its own really grabs your attention, doesn’t it? Many of you have probably thought, “I want to try dancing too!” That said, when you actually decide to give it a shot, it can be hard to choose which songs are easy to copy.

So in this article, we’ll introduce idol songs whose charm lies in relatively simple, easy-to-learn choreography.

We’ve picked tracks perfect not only for school festivals and performances, but also for anyone who wants to dance as a hobby—use this as a handy reference!

Hinatazaka46’s song “Doremisolasido” is a track that even beginners can perfectly copy.

Because it’s performed by a large group, the focus is on formations and movement, and the choreography itself mainly uses hand motions.

In the memorable “Do-Re-Mi” part of the chorus, the moves are simple—raising and lowering the shoulders alternately—and the emphasis is on rhythm-keeping, which is fundamental to dance.

Also, the step at the beginning of the chorus is the Charleston, a basic step that’s taught early on when learning dance, so once beginners pick it up, they’re sure to have fun dancing it!
