LOSERYonezu Kenshi
It’s not dance music, but it’s notable for its flashy staging.
This is a pick from the so-called “odottemita” series that uses otagei.
As long as you have glow sticks, you don’t need to fuss over costumes, so it’s easy to incorporate.
It’s a song I highly recommend for performances after sunset or when dancing in the dark, such as indoors.

This is a charity song that EXILE released as a support song for the Great East Japan Earthquake.
It’s a track filled with the belief that if you keep moving forward without giving up, you’ll surely see the light.
EXILE’s choreography tends to be on the difficult side, but even copying just the chorus from the official karaoke footage or live performance videos looks cool.

It’s a track by Lucky Kilimanjaro, included as the lead song on the digital EP “Dancers Friendly,” released in July 2024.
The music video features the popular comedian Yasuko, whose comical and surreal dance leaves a strong impression.
The lyrics, which resonate with a desire to break free from constraints, are sure to move you.

Highly recommended for anyone looking to discover a new side of themselves through music.
Only Lonely DanceNIKO NIKO TAN TAN
A dance number that colors lonely nights.
Its funky rhythm and catchy pop melody will grab your heart.
Created by NIKO NIKO TAN TAN, the track was released digitally in July 2024, followed by the album “Shinkigeki” in August.

HabitSEKAI NO OWARI
“Habit,” whose humorous choreography drew attention mainly on TikTok, was released in 2022 by the band SEKAI NO OWARI, known for delivering genre-defying music to listeners.
The professional dance group Powerpuff Boys handled the choreography, resulting in a dance full of funny faces and unique moves that become addictively catchy.
Since it’s difficult to sing and dance at the same time, it’s a good idea to designate a vocalist to handle the singing.
Focus on smooth, supple body movements, and try dancing to it at karaoke.
