I wish you lots of happinessnaniwa danshi

When it comes to dance numbers that evoke the arrival of a bright future, “Sachiare” comes to mind.
Released in 2022 by the male idol group Naniwa Danshi, the song was written and composed by Yujin Kitagawa of the folk duo Yuzu.
It features a poppy, glamorous melody line that resonates alongside a light, upbeat rhythm.
With many moves that use the whole body dynamically, it’s great for dance beginners too! It also sounds fun to divide the vocals and choreography into parts to showcase an idol-like flair and a sense of unity.
MiracleGReeeeN

This is a classic hit by GReeeeN that brings back memories of our youth.
It’s often used as a wedding reception performance song, so you can simply sing it, or spice it up with a skit or impersonations—the crowd is sure to get excited.
My friend—now and forever—Ketsumeishi

This song was the theme song for the Crayon Shin-chan movie.
I think it’s difficult to dance to, but since many children know the song, I recommend it because many of them can start with dance practice rather than memorizing the song first.
Happy Summer WeddingMōningu Musume.

It’s a classic idol-style wedding song! If you coordinate outfits and dance, it’ll be even more dazzling and liven things up even more.
Cross-dressing could be an option too (lol).

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.
PERFECT HUMANRADIO FISH

RADIO FISH, the group behind the wildly popular EDM party tune loved at school sports festivals, delivers confident, addictive tracks that blend playfulness and humor into a new era of dance music.
Their powerful performances—crafted by a uniquely talented lineup—and their brisk, catchy lyrics make everyone from kids to adults want to get up and dance.
Released in December 2015, this song was performed at the 67th NHK Kohaku Uta Gassen the following year, catapulting it to explosive popularity.
While portraying leader Atsuhiko Nakata as a flawless figure, it unfolds a poppy, comical worldview.
It’s the perfect track for getting a crowd hyped at sports days or dance events.
Move your body with full energy as one, and you’ll create wonderful memories filled with smiles!
SOMETHING AIN’T RIGHTXG

This track features a danceable, retro vibe, blending beats reminiscent of ’90s UK garage with modern arrangements.
The melodies woven by XG are instantly catchy, and their vocals carry a universal theme: the unease of hiding one’s true self.
The refined production combined with the expressive individuality of the seven members creates a deeply moving musical experience.
Released in July 2024, the song served as the lead single for the album “AWE,” which followed in November of the same year.
Within a week of release, it surpassed 5 million views on YouTube and entered the trending charts in 13 countries worldwide, including Japan, garnering widespread attention.
Breathing fresh air into the club scene, this work is highly recommended for lovers of dance music.
