Naniwa Danshi – Sachi Are [Official Music Video] YouTube ver.

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

GReeeeN – Kiseki

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

Ketsumeishi “My Friend ~ From Here On Forever…”

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.

Morning Musume. “Happy Summer Wedding” (MV)

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] New Genesis (Uta from ONE PIECE FILM RED)

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.
