[Heart to the Tropics] Japanese songs that evoke Hawaiian landscapes

DancerFukkun:)Tatsuki Fukuda
Primarily active in Tokyo, I have experience as a backup dancer for artists, a music video dancer, and a commercial dancer. I continue to work as a dancer while also engaging in article production. After discovering Michael Jackson in junior high school, I began dancing in my second year of high school. Since starting dance, in addition to the J-Pop and Japanese rock I had been listening to, I began exploring Western R&B, rap, alternative music, and other tracks commonly used for dance. In elementary school, I spent three years in a choir, and because I love singing, I often go to karaoke for fun. These days, I enjoy a wide range of music, from Japanese rock and rap to K-pop.

Blue seas and white sandy beaches, palm trees shimmering in the sunlight.

Japanese music themed around Hawaii, that everlasting tropical paradise, overflows with a special charm.

In songs by a wide range of artists—like AAA, bird, and BEGIN—you can feel a gentle longing for the islands and the spirit of travel.

From Eurobeat collaborations with Disney to sophisticated nighttime performances with an adult mood.

Why not listen to Japan’s Hawaii songs and let the wings of music carry you to the warm skies of Hawaii?

Hawaii is often chosen as a location for gravure photo shoots and music videos.

With its open and free-spirited image, Hawaii is a dream destination everyone wants to visit at least once.

It would be great to go there, but sometimes time just doesn’t allow it—there are times you simply can’t go.

In those moments, let’s enjoy Hawaii through our imagination.
