Conveying the importance of living true to yourself and packed with the courage to face forward together with your friends, this work deeply resonates with the younger generation.
With powerful vocals and dynamic dance performances, it’s full of strength that seems to blow away the anxieties and doubts everyone feels.

GO FOR IT!!Nishino Kana
A refreshing cheer song that gives a powerful push to those who can’t take the first step.
With a catchy melody and an upbeat message, it gives courage to anyone feeling timid about love.
The cheerleader-style calls and rhythmic tempo are memorable too.
Released in July 2012, the song was used in Yamazaki Baking’s “Lunch Pack” commercial and is also included on the album Love Place.
It’s perfect not only for dance events, but also as an opener for school and cultural festivals.
Delivered through Kana Nishino’s cute vocals, its energetic message is sure to get your heart dancing.
Fortune Cookie in LoveAKB48
If you’re looking for an easy song that a big group can dance to, I recommend “Koi Suru Fortune Cookie.” It was released in 2013 by the nationally beloved idol group AKB48 and has been featured widely across various media.
Its bright sound evokes soul and pop.
With a straightforward melody unfolding at a medium tempo, it’s easy even for beginners to dance to.
It’s also a good idea to split into parts and practice separately.
If you’re searching for a song the whole class can dance to, definitely give it a listen.
DDU-DU DDU-DUBLACKPINK
If you want simple choreography but still want to try a cool and sexy dance, BLACKPINK’s “DDU-DU DDU-DU” is highly recommended! It was included on their mini-album “SQUARE UP,” released in Korea in 2018, and later released as a single in Japan.
On their YouTube channel, they’ve posted not only the regular music video but also a dance practice video that clearly shows the choreography, so you’ll be fine if you watch that carefully and practice! Of course, nailing the formations as well as the choreography will make you look that much cooler!
How You Like ThatBLACKPINK
Let’s captivate everyone in the venue with a mature-style dance! This track by BLACKPINK, a girl performance group from South Korea, was released in 2020.
The music video posted on YouTube set Guinness World Records, including “the most-viewed YouTube video in 24 hours,” and became a hot topic.
The sound, brimming with an intriguingly dark energy, is simply overwhelming.
The slightly aggressive lyrics are very much their style and work great.
As mentioned, a dance MV has been released, so be sure to use it as a reference.
DynamiteBTS
This song, which became a hot topic after reaching No.
1 on the U.S.
singles chart, is a track by the Korea-based hip-hop group BTS, released as a single in 2020.
It’s a dance number with an upbeat, funky vibe that lifts your spirits as you listen.
The lyrics carry a positive message—“Let’s enjoy life! Let’s let loose!”—that feels encouraging.
The tempo isn’t too fast, so it should be easy to catch the rhythm.
Be sure to learn the choreography while watching the music video for reference.
One in a Million -On a Miraculous Night-GENERATIONS from EXILE TRIBE
It’s the love song “One in a Million – Kiseki no Yoru ni -” by GENERATIONS from EXILE TRIBE.
They usually show off razor-sharp dance moves, but this song is a sweet ballad, and since you can incorporate slower movements, it might be suitable for beginners.
Creating choreography themed around the song’s message of love would likely turn out beautifully as well.
If you showcase the dance everyone came up with at a school or cultural festival, it’s sure to become an unforgettable memory!
