Included on the mini-album “Unity,” released in July 2022, it has achieved numerous milestones, such as surpassing 100 million streams and winning an Excellence Award at the Japan Record Awards.

It’s a perfect song for school festivals and cultural festival dances.

With its lively rhythm and uplifting lyrics, it’s sure to get everyone dancing with energy!

PAKUasmi

PAKU – asmi (Official Music Video)

“PAKU” is a song that could be called one of asmi’s signature tracks.

It tells the story of swallowing the absurdities of this world in one gulp—“pak”—and wanting to express your true self just as you are.

It carefully portrays the fatigue of trying to convey your real feelings through joking words, and the emotions of being swayed by others’ evaluations, reflecting asmi’s own experiences in a very real way.

The slightly devilish vibe and a touch of fragile, almost sickly cuteness are exquisite.

Among the singles released after “bond,” it’s a particularly memorable number, packed with the true-to-life feelings of late teens to early twenties.

It’s also popular on TikTok with “I tried dancing” videos, so definitely consider using it as background music for a dance at a school festival!

KOGYARU / KOGYA`S KITCHEN【Official Music Video】

This is a delightful work born from the unexpected pairing of hip-hop and cooking.

Released in August 2025, it showcases a playful charm that’s quite different from the cool attitude shown in the debut track “SHIRANKEDO.” Guiding you through how to make chicken rice and omurice with a rap is such a unique idea.

Plus, the catchy phrases over a drill beat and the para-para choreography—complete with an official practice video—make you want to move your body and groove along! It’s a surefire crowd-pleaser to play at a party with friends.

Maximum reachSEKAI NO OWARI

Easy! Sports Day Dance to Highest Point/SEKAI NO OWARI [For Lower Grades and Up]

A hugely popular song by SEKAI NO OWARI with a driving, exhilarating melody that celebrates the importance of keeping up the challenge.

It debuted in September 2023 as the theme song for the Fuji TV anime ONE PIECE, drawing attention with its grand strings and Nakajin’s powerful guitar sound.

While carefully portraying the protagonist’s determination to move forward even while embracing their own weaknesses, its energetic development gives listeners a strong push from behind.

With a refreshing rhythm that appeals to both kids and adults, it’s a perfect track for sports days and school festival dances—one that will make the audience want to move along too!

[Step Practice, Easy Choreography, Sports Day Dance] Que Sera Sera - Mrs. GREEN APPLE [Kindergarten, Nursery School, Sports Day, Recital, Kids Dance]

Mrs.

GREEN APPLE’s latest work, which depicts a belief in a bright future, is a perfect song for a fun dance time, isn’t it? The choreography—featuring big, open arm movements and light steps that express joy—helps emphasize the song’s vibe.

If syncing precisely to the rhythm makes the moves too intricate, you can make each move span two beats to keep things more relaxed, allowing more people to enjoy the dance.

It’s also important to be mindful of your facial expressions and convey the cheerful mood with your whole body.
