Dance music in Japanese (J-pop) that people in their 50s used to listen to. Nostalgic classic hits.

Since the Reiwa era began, more and more dance-and-vocal artists have emerged, and their level has been rising, too.

Amid the boom in dance music, there are many pioneers—some of whom are still active today.

So this time, we’ll be introducing Japanese dance music that people in their 50s used to listen to!

We’ll be spotlighting nostalgic classics, so this is a must-see especially for those in their 50s.

I believe the music industry is a chain where new generations are inspired by these artists and are born from that admiration.

So I think young people interested in music and dance will also enjoy learning what kind of dance music defined this generation.

Let’s get started!
