Pa Pi Pu Pe POP!Appare!
With its sparkling tracks from Appare!, this song has been winning support from young listeners.
The catchy hook in the chorus sticks in your head, and its addictive beat naturally gets your body moving.
It was included on the November 2022 album “Appare! Future,” and a “treasure hunt” event was held to celebrate the release.
The choreography is currently a big trend on TikTok, making it perfect for practicing dance at home.
It’s also a great pick for dance performances at parties or school festivals.
The uptempo, upbeat melody is sure to energize any venue.
Be sure to experience its approachable melody and cute choreography for yourself at least once.
Rat-tat-tatSandaime Jē Sōru Burazāzu fromu Eguzairu Toraibu
This is the number that was also danced at Universal Studios Japan’s annual Halloween zombie event, “Zombie de Dance.” Members NAOTO and Kenjiro Yamashita were appointed as ambassadors and showcased a comical dance.
It’s a fun, amusing routine that anyone can enjoy dancing to—whether you fully experienced USJ’s Halloween or not!
Hare Hare Yukaisuzumiya haruhi (hirano aya)
A landmark animated work that defined the 2000s and etched its name into the history of Japanese anime, The Melancholy of Haruhi Suzumiya.
Among its highlights is the ending theme, Hare Hare Yukai, whose choreography—performed by the characters and popularly known as the “Haruhi dance”—became a massive sensation, inspiring countless fans to cosplay and dance it themselves.
In 2020, during the stay-at-home period, Aya Hirano, who played Haruhi, posted a tutorial video on her social media, sparking a revival hit.
In this article, we introduce a “tried dancing” video by Tomokazu Sugita, who played Kyon in the series.
It’s hard not to laugh as you watch Sugita dance with a serious expression—even though his moves are nothing like the original choreography!
tropical nightRIP SLYME
This track, which portrays the passion of a scorching night, is an energetic song packed with RIP SLYME’s playfulness and humor.
Released in July 2007, the piece features lyrics written by all the members, with composition by ILMARI and Hirotaka Mori.
Marked by its distinctive rhythm and melody, it appears on the album “FUNFAIR.” A instantly catchy hook intertwines perfectly with dynamic, expressive rap, and the vibrant, party-ready beat is ideal for livening up events like year-end parties, school festivals, and weddings.
It’s a recommended pick for anyone who wants to enjoy a great time through dance.
Turning UpARASHI
Of course, perfectly copying it is quite difficult.
But it’s easy to incorporate parts of the dance.
In fact, I feel the choreography is designed so anyone can dance it.
In particular, the dance made up only of upper-body movements on the airplane seems perfect for SNS dance covers and “I tried dancing” videos—it’s probably already trending.
I think the quick steps before the chorus will take a lot of practice to master.
But it looks cool, and it feels great when you can do it, so give it a try! The catchy phrases are very satisfying to listen to and make great background music, too.
Hold me tight.YUTORI-SEDAI
The band YUTORI-SEDAI, which resonates especially with Gen Z, released a song in July 2023 that brilliantly captures the thrill and heartache of love.
It was featured as an insert song on an ABEMA original dating show and gained broad support, even topping radio airplay charts.
The choreography has also been released, and its simplicity makes it easy for anyone to learn.
It’s a surefire hit for energizing various events like school festivals, year-end parties, and weddings.
As it shows signs of trending on social media, it’s definitely recommended as a dance-friendly track.
