Dream5 / Yo-kai Exercise No. 1 <Exercise Video>

When it comes to Halloween and ghosts, you can’t forget yokai! This track became a huge hit after being used as the ending theme for the anime Yo-kai Watch.

It was released in 2014 as Dream5’s 12th single.

Just like the title suggests, the choreography is more like calisthenics than dance—very simple and fun, making it a big hit with kids.

Since the moves are straightforward, it’s also recommended for those who aren’t confident in their athletic ability.

It could even work as a novelty performance at an adults-only gathering.

You could use the members’ outfits from the MV as inspiration for your own Halloween cosplay.

While the song itself isn’t a Halloween track, it’s designed so you can enjoy it for Halloween, too.

Polkadot Stingray “Ghost Dive” [Music Video Ghost Pokémon Edit]

It’s a high-energy rock track perfect for a ghost-themed Halloween.

Created by Polkadot Stingray, a rock band from Fukuoka, it’s included on the EP “Pokémon Music Collective,” released in September 2023.

The song was born from a project to reconstruct Pokémon game BGM, and vocalist Shizuku’s love for Ghost-type Pokémon bursts through.

The inclusion of the “Lavender Town” BGM from Pokémon Red is a detail fans will love.

In true Polkadot Stingray fashion, about 70% of the lyrics are made up of Pokémon “Abilities,” adding a playful twist.

With its sense of speed, it’s a perfect BGM choice for TikTok videos featuring costumes or dance performances.

The campaign leveraged an advance release on TikTok with a participatory promotion, designed to make it easy to combine Halloween costumes with dance.

It’s a perfect pick for parties that want to hype things up with comical zombie makeup, and for settings where kids and adults can dance together.
