[For School Cultural Festivals] Hype Dance Tracks Recommendations [2026] (91–100)
Fortune Cookie in LoveAKB48
If you’re looking for a song that even dance beginners can enjoy, we recommend “Koi Suru Fortune Cookie.” It was released by the national idol group AKB48 in 2013 and is included on the album “Tsugi no Ashiato.” Its orthodox melody set to a mid-tempo rhythm is striking.
Among their songs, this one features choreography that’s easy to dance to, making it great for large-group performances.
It’s perfect for using a wide stage at cultural or school festivals, too.
Why not dance to this nostalgic yet fresh piece of dance music that evokes soul and disco sounds?
HappinessAI
AI’s song “Happiness” conveys a powerful sense of hope, as if wishing for happiness to spread throughout the world.
Dancing to this song, imbued with such a wish for happiness, will let you feel the joy through your whole body.
Because it’s a grand piece with a relatively calm rhythm, large movements that highlight its grandeur might work well.
It’s also a good idea to keep the choreography simple—something everyone can synchronize—while staying mindful of the song’s worldview.

ICYITZY
ITZY is a girl group that enjoys high popularity in Japan as well.
One of their well-loved signature songs is “ICY.” The track centers on their passion for music, with powerful lyrics, sound, and choreography.
That said, many of the moves progress in sequence, making it a routine where it’s relatively easy to catch your breath between sections.
Another appeal is the inclusion of soft, feminine movements.
It’s recommended for those who can’t choose between cool and girly elements.
F.L.Y. BOYS F.L.Y. GIRLSGENERATIONS from EXILE TRIBE
If you want to show off a cool dance, we recommend GENERATIONS from EXILE TRIBE’s “F.L.Y.
BOYS F.L.Y.
GIRLS.” Released in 2018, this track was used as the opening theme for GENERATIONS High School TV, which aired on AbemaTV and terrestrial TV, and it also appeared in commercials for Aoyama Tailor.
This number is packed with highlights, including sections where everyone pretends to move in unison and parts danced in pairs.
It even incorporates the “Shoot Dance,” which was also used during DA PUMP’s “U.S.A.” “Iine Dance.” Dance sharply and coolly, and steal the spotlight at your school festival!
InfernoMrs. GREEN APPLE
An energizing rock sound that lights a fire in your heart just by listening! This song was written specifically as the opening theme for the anime Fire Force.
Its intense melody—woven from high-tone vocals and a driving, fast-paced guitar sound—conveys the courage to face adversity and the strength to take on life head-on.
Since its digital release in July 2019, it has become one of Mrs.
GREEN APPLE’s signature tracks and was included on the album Attitude.
Use it for sports day dances or expressive performances, and it’s sure to inspire a passionate showcase.
Move your body to the energetic music, and everyone will come together and get fired up as one.
Sweat will be shed for you.Bairin Tarō
This is the number made famous by the Pocari Sweat commercial.
When you think of this song, it’s all about the razor-sharp dancing by the students showcased in the ad! It’s the kind of choreography that makes you want to copy it and dance along when you see it.
There’s that intense heat and the sparkle of youth that only students can bring…
It’d be great to pack all of that in and try dancing to it with your class or with everyone at school!
SharehappiKobayashi Naoki, Iwata Takanori, Tosaka Hiroomi
A song that was used in a Pocky commercial, featuring members of Sandaime J SOUL Brothers from EXILE TRIBE as image characters.
It became a hot topic thanks to the “Share Happy Dance” performed by Takanori Iwata, Hiroomi Tosaka, and Naoki Kobayashi.
It’s addictive—you hear it once and can’t forget it.
Many students posted dance videos on social media, and the song spread from there, so it feels familiar and easy to enjoy.
Its crisp, catchy vibe really lifts your mood, and it’s a perfect match for Pocky & Pretz Day and school festival season!
