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.

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.

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.

As it’s the theme song for a Doraemon movie, it’s become a familiar tune for children.

Miwa’s high and beautiful vocals are also popular with kids, and I think they’re one reason it’s easy to dance to.

It’s a very cute, pop-sounding song.

A dance number by Hajime Todoroki that caught fire from short videos and sparked a huge boom centered on social media.

Born from a moment during a horror game livestream, its rhythmic knocking sound is irresistibly catchy! The unique choreography she came up with became such a hot topic that it was even featured on TV variety news programs.

Riding the same momentum that took her YouTube channel past 1 million subscribers in August 2025, the biggest draw is how easy the dance is—anyone can imitate it.

No difficult techniques needed, so it’s perfect as a participatory performance for teachers and parents, too! This piece is sure to make everyone in the venue smile—why not liven up your appreciation party with it?

This is DA PUMP’s 2019 dance tune, released on August 7, 2019.

Will it become a massive hit following 2018’s “U.S.A.”? The “Baeen Dance,” a choreography featuring small, rhythmic shakes, has been getting attention, but beyond that, it’s a dance number tailored to Japanese tastes, with elements like formations reminiscent of kabuki, steps evocative of the Tobiroppō exit, and an intro that feels like an homage to Hibari Misora’s “Omatsuri Mambo.”

The video game NEEDY GIRL OVERDOSE is themed around a “menhera-style” girl.

Its theme song is INTERNET OVERDOSE.

It’s sung by KOTOKO and has a musical-like feel that incorporates spoken lines.

The choreography is similar to para para, so if you’re into that style, give it a try.

The music video features animated characters dancing, so it might be easier to get a feel for it by checking out other dance cover videos as references.

The song “Otona Blue” by Atarashii Gakko! is a masterpiece that vividly portrays the gap between outward appearance and inner self.

It expresses the emotions of young people swaying between a mature look and a pure heart, set to a catchy melody.

Released in April 2023, the track won the Grand Prize at the TikTok First Half Trend Awards 2023.

It also opened that year’s NHK Red and White Song Battle, drawing widespread attention.

With simple yet memorable choreography, it resonates across generations.

It’s a surefire hit for cultural festivals, year-end parties, weddings, and more.
