It was released in 2019 as their debut single.
The bouncy piano phrases and funky bassline are really cool, aren’t they? Unlike a typical dance number, it has a stylish vibe, but the rhythm itself is easy to groove to, so no worries.
You could look for dance cover videos on YouTube, or it’s also fun to come up with your own original choreography.
ReiwaGōruden Bonbā
Golden Bomber, the air band that shot to fame with “Memeshikute,” released their first single of the Reiwa era, aptly titled “Reiwa.” Right after the new era name “Reiwa” was announced on April 1, 2019, they quickly produced and released the music video, which drew a lot of attention.
There’s no difficult choreography at all—in fact, it’s so simple that even audience members with zero practice can jump in right away.
Costumes could be vibrant kimonos like the Gold Bomber members wear! Above all, the most important condition for dancing to this song is to have fun.

loveHoshino Gen
If you’re looking for a song that lets both performers on stage and the audience dance together, “Koi” is a great choice.
Released in 2016 by singer-songwriter Gen Hoshino, who is also active as an actor, it was used as the theme song for the drama “We Married as a Job!” (Nigeru wa Haji da ga Yaku ni Tatsu).
Many of you may know the “Koi Dance,” which became a hot topic thanks to the drama and its music video.
The track features a crisp sound reminiscent of soul and funk.
Although it’s up-tempo, the dance isn’t difficult if you learn it phrase by phrase.
Try performing the cute and humorous choreography in the interlude at your school or culture festival.
Dancing Hero (Eat You Up)Oginome Yōko
This song first became a hit with Yoko Oginome’s vocals, had a comeback thanks to the Fuji TV show “Tunnels no Minasan no Okage desu” skit, and then had a second resurgence thanks to the Tomioka High School dance club’s success.
Since everyone knows it, it’s guaranteed to get the crowd going! Lots of people dance to it as party or wedding entertainment, so it’s especially recommended for beginners.
You can go for an original routine for laughs or copy the tried-and-true ‘bubble era’ dance—it’s all good! When in doubt, pick this song!
GONGSixTONES
A powerful rock number that belts out the resolve to face adversity and the bonds with comrades, bursting from a fierce siren-like guitar riff into a blistering, fast-paced beat! The vocal relay makes full use of SixTONES’ distinctive vocal timbres, and the lyrics—depicting an unyielding will to never give up—are truly stirring.
Released as a double A-side single in July 2024, it was featured as an insert song in the NTV Sunday drama “ACMA:GAME.” It’s a highly recommended cheer song that will give you a push during moments when you unite with your teammates toward a goal—whether in practice, matches, or preparing for a school festival.
