Seven (feat. Latto)Jung Kook
Jungkook, known as a member of the popular Korean idol group BTS, is also drawing attention as a solo artist.
His latest track, “Seven (feat.
Latto),” features American rapper Latto.
The song falls under the UK-born genre of garage pop and is notable for its lyrics depicting the passionate feelings of two people deeply in love.
While it expresses a sentimental desire to be together “every day, every hour, from Monday to Sunday,” it also conveys a profound understanding and affection for a relationship that supports each other in a heavy world.
It’s quite advanced, but if you include it as a dance number at a school festival, you’ll almost certainly be the star of the day!
EXCITEMiura Daichi
Why not grab everyone’s attention at your school or cultural festival with Daichi Miura’s razor-sharp “EXCITE,” which features both killer vocals and dance? Released in 2017, this song was chosen as the theme for Kamen Rider Ex-Aid, the 45th anniversary commemorative work of the Kamen Rider series.
Thanks to that, it drew lots of attention from kids and quickly exploded in popularity.
Daichi Miura’s insanely skilled choreography might seem tough, but there’s no doubt it’ll be a blast if you can pull it off! Give it your best and practice—it’s a great way to make awesome memories during your school days.
PERFECT HUMANRADIO FISH
If you’re fired up and thinking, “We absolutely want to bring the house down!” this song is our top recommendation! Compared to other showcase dance tracks, it doesn’t require super high-level dance skills—that’s a selling point, too.
The artist RADIO FISH is a music group led by the comedy duo Oriental Radio.
Both the brainy Acchan and the flashy charmer Fujimori are irresistibly cool! If you’re performing with multiple people on stage, try splitting up the rap parts among you.
Even if you don’t usually rap, shorter sections are much easier to memorize with sheer momentum!
Beat de TouhiHama iku
This song was released in 2022 as a Hamaiku track by Hamaitachi’s Hamaie and former Nogizaka46 member Erika Ikuta, and it climbed high on various subscription service charts.
With its irresistibly bright, pop vibe and catchy melody line, the song is addictive—and it was written and composed by meiyo, a singer-songwriter who has been gaining attention in recent years.
Because the track is overflowing with a fun atmosphere, even people who don’t know the song can enjoy it, and since it’s mid-tempo, it should be easy to dance to as well.
Try practicing carefully while watching the dance video over and over.
