The chorus lyrics go “Hashiridase, hashiridase” to a super upbeat melody, and I think it’s a classic song that absolutely gets used at sports days.

For running events like relays or sprints, it’s definitely this song.

It makes you want to hum along and start running.

Songs by idol groups are a classic choice for a performance dance.

How about trying FRUITS ZIPPER’s “Watashi no Ichiban Kawaii Tokoro”? This song has surpassed 500 million views on TikTok and helped the group win the Japan Record Awards’ Best New Artist, so it’s highly recognized.

The choreography focuses on detailed hand movements.

Since there are many hand actions and minimal footwork, even beginners can enjoy dancing to this pop and cute track.

Despite its pop tune, some of you may have seen it on music shows and felt the dance made a strong impact.

The hand movements, like a jiangshi (hopping vampire), are adorable, aren’t they? It’s choreography you can’t forget once you’ve seen it! Strictly speaking, it’s a “singing-like dance” that matches the song’s melody and is said to be inspired by zombies.

Even so, the cute dance is heartwarming to watch and brings a smile to your face.

TWICE, known as Asia’s No.1 and the most powerful girl group, transcends the boundaries of K-POP.

“Breakthrough” is a dance track themed around the moon.

It features a Western-leaning sound that expresses summer nights—erotic, heavy, and languid.

It’s a song that makes you want to sway as if drifting and surrender yourself to the music.

A uniquely captivating music video that sticks in your head after just one viewing! This is EXODUS by WORLD ORDER, the performance group founded by former martial artist Genki Sudo.

The members’ suit-clad dance has a somewhat futuristic feel, with a charm that transports viewers to another world.

There are plenty of moves you’ll want to copy, so it might be fun to gather your friends and dance together.

When you do, be sure to synchronize the choreography perfectly and fully channel WORLD ORDER!

The title track from Perfume’s 2018 album “Future Pop.” It starts with just a guitar, the vocals come in, and then the sounds layer on one by one, gradually building—then at a certain point it suddenly accelerates.

Perfume is synonymous with dance—in fact, they have a unique world of their own.

It’s a dance song everyone can groove to.
