In favor—so cute!SKE48
Released in 2013 as SKE48’s 13th single.
The song features Jurina Matsui and Rena Matsui as double centers and was used as the CM song for AiiA’s mobile card game “SKE48 Passion For You.” It’s about a shy boy who can’t express his feelings openly but harbors a crush on the class “madonna.” The bouncy dance makes it a hit for everyone to do together at karaoke.
The Oath of ‘Z’Momoiro Kurōbā Zetto
It was released in 2015 as Momoiro Clover Z’s 15th single.
The song was used as the theme for the film Dragon Ball Z: Resurrection ‘F’ and marks the first collaboration between Momoiro Clover Z and Dragon Ball Z.
Featuring arrangements with a Chinese-music flair, such as the sound of a gong, it’s a very cute track with choreography inspired by Dragon Ball.
Inspector Pepperpinku redii
Released in 1976 as Pink Lady’s debut single.
Their dance featuring miniskirts and legs spread was criticized as vulgar at the time, but Akuyu’s lyrics and the distinctive choreography drew major attention, and they won the New Artist Award at the 18th Japan Record Awards.
The song remains popular as a crowd-pleaser at karaoke today.
ButterflyKōda Kumi
It was released in 2005 as Kumi Koda’s 16th single.
The song was used as the theme for the TBS daytime drama Ai no Gekijō: Cosme no Mahō 2, and its music video—featuring various outfits such as a jacket where she’s embracing a man, a sexy teacher look, and scenes of her washing a car in low-rise lingerie while dancing—became a hot topic.
This track is said to have sparked the spread of the term “ero-kakkoii” (sexy-cool).
The sign is BB Komachi
The smash-hit anime Oshi no Ko.
Be sure to check out its in-universe song Sign wa B as well.
It’s a track performed by the idol group B-Komachi that appears in the story.
The vocals are by the characters’ voice actors: Yurie Igoma, Megumi Han, and Rumi Okubo.
It has the classic feel of an idol song, characterized by plenty of call-and-response parts.
Another fun highlight is the catchy choreography, like making a heart shape with the hands.
