DANCE DANCE DANCENissy

Nissy (Takahiro Nishijima) / “DANCE DANCE DANCE” Music Video

With its bright, poppy dance vibe, this track fills you with excitement just by listening.

Brimming with Nissy’s charm, the song centers on themes of freedom and self-expression.

The lyrics convey the complexities of life and the courage to value your true self.

Released in July 2015, it’s also included on the album HOCUS POCUS and has become a staple favorite at live shows.

The music video features sleek, sophisticated choreography that’s a highlight in itself.

It’s the perfect song for scenes where everyone wants to dance and have fun together, like school festivals or wedding receptions.

Rising SunEXILE

EXILE / Rising Sun -short version-

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.

OlivesHALF MILE BEACH CLUB

Half Mile Beach Club – Olives

Despite its chillwave vibe, it doesn’t have a particularly slow tempo, making it a versatile dance track that works for both relaxed and lively moves.

It opens with ethnic percussion, leaving you unsure where it’s headed at first.

Then airy synthesizers float in, and once the kick drum and live bass come underneath, you naturally slip into the song’s world—and your body starts to sway without thinking! It’s great for listening alone at night, and it’ll also set the mood if you’re having drinks with a partner or friends.

Orange (new mix)PAELLAS

PAELLAS “Orange” [Official Music Video]

Stylish dance music that works as driving BGM is really popular, isn’t it? If you’re looking for that kind of track, I recommend “Orange” by PAELLAS.

It has a chic, almost international vibe that makes you feel refreshed just by listening.

The repeating drum beat, breezy vocals, and other elements all come together perfectly, making it the kind of song that makes you want to start dancing.

HabitSEKAI NO OWARI

SEKAI NO OWARI「Habit」

“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.
