Dance at Nightfurenzu
When it comes to dance tracks by the Shinsen-kei band Friends, “Yoru ni Dance” is the one.
Even the title makes it a perfect dance song.
It’s poppy and cute, and if you listen to it on your way home at night, you’ll find yourself wanting to dance.
The music video also features dancers.
Ready to JumpHey! Say! JUMP
Hey! Say! JUMP is an eight-member idol group whose name comes from the idea that “all members were born in the Heisei era and will leap high through the Heisei era.” Ready to Jump, the opening track of their globally released digital EP P.U!, features a cool ensemble with human beatboxer SO-SO.
Its stylish melody and dance performance evoke a level of polish that feels ready to compete on the world stage.
It’s a modern dance tune that we’d love listeners who haven’t known Hey! Say! JUMP before to hear.
Tamamo-no-MaeSuiyōbi no Campanella
Wednesday Campanella’s songs, which express Japanese history and legend through a unique interpretive lens, are rich with insight, evoking the lives of people from antiquity to the present and the shifts in society over time.
Their latest work is an ambitious piece themed around Tamayorihime, a figure from Heian-period tales, weaving universal themes such as power, beauty, and love into the lyrics.
Released on March 13, 2024, it was chosen as the theme song for the Amazon Original drama “My Undead Yokai Girlfriend.” The track’s musicality—melding traditional Japanese music with contemporary sounds—is also compelling.
With a message that resonates across eras, it’s a song we hope many people, regardless of age or gender, will listen to.
NulifeDÉ DÉ MOUSE
On the front lines of Japanese electronic music, DÉ DÉ MOUSE’s track “Nulife.” Its chaotic yet comfortable, mysteriously arranged sound is irresistible.
Of course, it also excels as dance music—perfect for swaying your body and having fun.
Put this track on, and I think it will stylishly color a special day like a scene from a movie.
Kiss Me PatissierCANDY TUNE
CANDY TUNE, born from the project “KAWAII LAB.” that shares idol culture with the world.
Formed in 2023, the song that put them on the map is “Kiss Me Patissier.” It features a light, lively sound with sparkling synths and rhythmic guitar.
The chorus unfolds with cute lyrics pleading to a loved one, and a dance video set to this part has gained attention on TikTok.
Give the easy hand-movement dance a try yourself!

Life goes on～side K～CHEMISTRY
The 24th single, released on August 20, 2008.
It’s the first song for which both members of CHEMISTRY handled the songwriting and composition, and for the arrangement they also took on a first-time challenge: Kawabata and Dōchin each produced the same track.
Kawabata’s production, “Life goes on ~side K~,” is a dance tune that incorporates plenty of French electro elements!
Summertime LoveShiggy Jr.
This is a song by Shiggy Jr., who call themselves a “pop and pop” band.
It truly has a pop sound, and the four-on-the-floor dance beat gets listeners moving.
It was also used as background music in a Huis Ten Bosch commercial, so many of you may have heard it.
