When it comes to dance numbers that evoke the dazzling light of morning, this track by Naniwa Danshi, released in April 2022, is a prime example.

Crafted by Yujin Kitagawa of Yuzu, it was chosen as the theme song for the morning news show “Mezamashi TV.” Its warm sound gently accompanies the small moments of everyday life, affirming an ordinary day.

The bright, refreshing melody makes you want to deliver a beaming, energetic performance.

It’s the perfect song to dance to with everyone in sync, full of energy, on special stages like school or cultural festivals.

Because the song has a gentle melody with a slightly slower tempo, the choreography is also relaxed.

The steps at the beginning of the chorus and the hand-focused moves that evoke clock hands during the “1 a.m.” lyric are easy for beginners to learn.

In the final chorus near the end of the song, the choreography applies rhythm-keeping and up-and-down movements, so I think it’s easy to learn across the entire track.

The lyrics also include many emotional actions and gestures, which become key points.

Be sure to learn the whole song and try dancing to it!
