[Get Hyped] Fun Japanese dance tracks — a joyful dance special

DancerFukkun:)Tatsuki Fukuda
Primarily active in Tokyo, I have experience as a backup dancer for artists, a music video dancer, and a commercial dancer. I continue to work as a dancer while also engaging in article production. After discovering Michael Jackson in junior high school, I began dancing in my second year of high school. Since starting dance, in addition to the J-Pop and Japanese rock I had been listening to, I began exploring Western R&B, rap, alternative music, and other tracks commonly used for dance. In elementary school, I spent three years in a choir, and because I love singing, I often go to karaoke for fun. These days, I enjoy a wide range of music, from Japanese rock and rap to K-pop.

Started working as a music writer as a side job while employed at a record shop, and for over 18 years I’ve contributed to music magazines, disc guide books, mooks, and web media. As a writer my main field is Western music, but as a listener for over 35 years, I always try to keep my curiosity alive with the motto “I like what I like.” I have experience playing in bands, where I was a bassist who handled songwriting and composition. Instruments I’ve played include bass, guitar, and piano. I began studying English in my mid-40s and continue to do so today.

From school festivals and year-end parties to weddings and small private gatherings, many people want to liven up their events by performing a dance.

Classic dances and choreographies are great, but if possible, you’d probably like to showcase something that matches the latest trends.

In this article, we introduce many of the latest popular and noteworthy songs—especially those trending on social media—that come with fun choreographies and dances.

We’ve also included popular “tried dancing” videos and official dance videos for reference, so be sure to check them out.

Of course, creating your own choreography and posting it on social media is a great idea too!

[4K 60p] Yamakita High School Dance Club – I Want to See You

I want to see you.iri

It’s a song that’s especially popular with younger generations.

This track went viral on video-sharing SNS, TikTok, where many couples and friends posted videos using it.

You’ve probably heard it out on the street, too.

Rather than a hype anthem, it has a calmer, rap-based vibe, so creating a story-driven dance that matches the lyrics could really set the mood.

If you can express the bittersweet feel of the lyrics through your dance, it’ll be both fun and exciting!
