Since “U.S.A.,” DA PUMP—who have created many fun, easy-to-dance-to routines—have released another hit born from their full commitment.

The much-talked-about “Strap-Hanger Dance,” which supposedly anyone can do, is so simple you can learn it after imitating the moves two or three times.

I think dances that catch on combine elements like these.

And yet, it still looks like proper dancing.

There are moves that just look cool—like certain guitar techniques—so once you grasp the knack, it becomes a solid, well-shaped dance.

From the late 1990s to the early 2000s, DA PUMP churned out hit songs with Akio Togashi as their producer.

Despite undergoing member changes, they continued their activities and had a resurgence with a single released in June 2018.

The track is a cover of a song originally released by an Italian singer in 1992, updated into a modern take on a delightfully cheesy-cool disco sound.

With its catchy melody and easy-to-remember choreography, it naturally sparks a smile-filled dance time when played at gatherings like year-end parties and weddings.

Its popularity is also evident from the many “I tried dancing” videos shared on social media.

Known as one of Girls’ Generation’s signature songs, this track expresses the exhilaration of falling in love.

With its catchy melody and rhythmic lyrics, it lifts listeners’ spirits.

A Japanese version was released in January 2011, and following its huge success in Korea, it also gained popularity in Japan.

The lyrics adorably depict the feelings of a woman in love, likely resonating with younger generations captivated by romance.

It’s also great as dance music, making it a recommended crowd-pleaser for parties and events.

MR.KARA

This song is known for its catchy melody and memorable choreography, expressing the feelings of a woman who has fallen in love.

The lyrics overflow with possessiveness, affection, and happiness, capturing listeners’ hearts and never letting go.

It was released in Korea in July 2009, and in August of the following year it was issued as the group’s Japanese debut single.

The Japanese version was a major success, debuting at No.

5 on the Oricon Weekly Singles Chart—a remarkable feat, marking the first Top 10 entry by an overseas female group’s debut work in 29 years and 8 months.

It’s a perfect track to liven up events like school festivals, year-end parties, and weddings.

With its easy-to-learn, distinctive hip-sway dance, everyone will be smiling when you dance together.

BAAM -Japanese ver.-momoland

A uniquely MOMOLAND track that’s comical yet somehow a bit alluring.

The gesture where they rotate their hands to “BAAM! BAAM!” looks like so much fun, doesn’t it? The Japanese version tones down the sexiness compared to the original Korean one, making it cuter.

With choreography like the subtly swaying hips from side to side in the chorus, it’s one of the easier dances to copy among MOMOLAND’s songs, so I’m sure it’ll make viewers want to dance along! Be sure to try dancing and have fun with it.
