[SLH] Tried Dancing to 'Loki' [Original Choreography]

It may not be dance music, but many people might find it approachable because it’s close to what you’d call a band sound.

It’s incredibly catchy, so both those dancing and those watching will have a great time.

Practice aiming for the sharp, precise moves of SHARE LOCK HOMES, who perform “Odotte Mita” routines.

Choreography for use at events like sports festivals (for upper grades): “Ao to Natsu” by Mrs. GREEN APPLE

If you want to boost the excitement at your school sports day with a refreshing rock tune, we recommend “Ao to Natsu.” This track was released in 2018 by the rock band Mrs.

GREEN APPLE, known for their popularity and classical-style melodies.

It was used as the theme song for the film “Aonatsu: Kimi ni Koi Shita 30-nichi.” It’s an upbeat number that showcases Motoki Omori’s shining high-tone vocals.

The song evokes the feeling of youth, making it easy for students to connect emotionally.

Dance to this bright, feel-good track with smiles, and your class bonds will grow stronger!

Neil – Superstar (Music Video)

Included on Neil’s mini-album “HAPPY BOX,” released in December 2024.

Set to a catchy melody and powerful dance beat, it passionately sings about the dreams of young people.

The message “Believe in your own shine” truly resonates.

In the music video, with Tokyo’s cityscape as the backdrop, Neil delivers a dynamic dance performance.

It’s an uplifting track that gives you energy and pushes anyone striving for self-realization forward.

[Sure, with pleasure] Kocchinoken and MV “Simple Dance” — A simple arranged dance you can do at sports days or recitals!

Kenchto-san’s “Hai Yorokonde” is a track packed with a lively, fun vibe and a positive message.

Set to a light, upbeat rhythm, the chorus repeats the phrase “Giri-Giri Dance,” making it easy to remember and fun to dance to.

Released in May 2024, the song became a big hit on social media platforms like TikTok.

The choreography is simple, and if everyone dances together, it’s sure to bring plenty of smiles! It’s also a great pick for events like school sports days.

exciteMiura Daichi

Daichi Miura / EXCITE -Music Video- from “BEST” (On Sale 2018/3/7) (short ver.)

It’s a song with both calm and energetic parts, so adding sharp movements makes it look really cool.

I think it will look impressive whether you perform it solo or in sync with a group.

Also, since it was used as a theme for Kamen Rider Ex-Aid, it’s a song that’s popular with kids too.

LOSERYonezu Kenshi

LOSER / Kenshi Yonezu — Tried expressing it with Wotagei [Kita no Uchi-Shi-tachi]

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.

CharacterRyokushokushakai

[Original Choreography] Character / Ryokuoushoku Shakai

If you’re struggling to find a pop song the whole class can dance to, I highly recommend “Character.” Released in 2022 by the pop-rock band Ryokuoushoku Shakai—known for their strong musicianship and wide-ranging musical style—the track was featured in Morinaga’s “in Jelly” commercial.

Its catchy melody evokes soul and funk.

Even those who aren’t confident dancers will find it easy to move to, making it great for classes with many beginners.

Try dancing to this colorful, instrumentally rich pop tune!
