LOVE＆JOYKimura Yuki
A single packed with the exhilarating appeal of Eurobeat! Yuki Kimura’s soaring vocals fuse brilliantly with Daisuke Asakura’s energetic production to create a rapid-fire dance number.
Its bright, uplifting message rides a high-speed BPM of 173, stirring emotions that feel like a rainbow arcing across the listener’s heart.
Released in July 2000, the track captured many hearts as the theme song for the TV drama “Daisuke Hanamura.” It reached No.
24 on the Oricon Weekly Singles Chart and achieved cumulative sales of 116,000 copies.
Perfect as driving BGM for highways or mountain passes, it’s also ideal when you want to recharge a tired spirit.
Grip the wheel and set off on a special musical journey to this irresistible rhythm.
Effeminate; overly sentimental; being clingy/whiny (context-dependent)Gōruden Bonbā
It’s perfect for a costume dance and will definitely get the venue buzzing! The choreography isn’t sharp or complicated, so even people who’ve never danced before can jump in with enthusiasm.
If you want the whole crowd to get excited together, how about this song?
HappinessAI
Many of you probably know this song since it was used in a commercial.
It has a bright, upbeat melody, and the lyrics are wonderful.
Dancing with a large group creates impact and will definitely liven things up.
You can dance with your own original choreography, or try copying the AI backup dancers’ moves you’ve seen on TV, and that would be great too.
Fortune Cookie in LoveAKB48
This is a song that became popular along with its dance.
I bet many people can at least dance the chorus! The lyrics and melody are cute, and the choreography is very simple, so I hope both men and women will dance to this song.
New EraAdo
Ado’s song “New Genesis,” with its story-like lyrics, is a track that’s often used at school sports festivals.
In the chorus, raise your hands energetically and use your whole body to express yourself, conveying the image of opening up a new era with bold movements.
When performing a mass game with a large group, keeping the choreography simple in the chorus makes it easier to synchronize and creates a sense of unity in the dance.
For practice, it’s recommended to break the routine into sections, and once you get used to it, start incorporating formation changes and other transitions.
FUNKEYSDa-iCE
It’s a light, poppy number that makes you want to start dancing.
Released by Da-iCE in January 2025, it features Akiko Wada.
Just like the title suggests, the funky sound arrangement lifts your spirits.
The lyrics are packed with positive messages, and the whole song brims with energy.
It’s the kind of track that would whip up the crowd in karaoke!
DANCE WITH ME NOW!E-Girls
This song features high-level choreography like what you’d learn at a dance school.
There are lots of choreography videos available, so I think the dance is easy to learn.
In unison dance, when everyone’s movements are perfectly synchronized, it looks really cool and gets the crowd excited.
