“Sexy Girl,” included on “BEST FICTION,” released in 2008 by Namie Amuro—one of Japan’s most iconic singers and dancers—generated buzz when it was chosen as the theme song for the drama “Otome no Punch.” This feminine dance number is a track that embodies both cuteness and coolness.

This is a song released in 2014 that was used as the theme for TV Tokyo’s Drama 24 series Reverse Edge: Ōkawabata Tanteisha.

It has a Showa-retro vibe and comes together as a thrilling, tight, and dark dance number.

I also recommend Kuchibashi ni Cherry, the theme song for Hama Mike.

MAMAMOO is a South Korean girl group.

The song that catapulted them to global fame is HIP.

It’s a track defined by an intense, hip-hop-inspired sound.

Much of the choreography is synced with the lyrics—for example, movements that touch the body parts mentioned in the song.

For that reason, when you try it, the Japanese-translated HIP -Japanese ver.- might be easier to dance to.

Also, the dance videos trending on YouTube are a must-see.

Asmi is extremely popular, especially among teens and people in their twenties.

Among her songs, the one that’s been getting especially big buzz on social media is “PAKU.” If you use TikTok, you’ve probably seen at least one dance video using this track.

It’s easy to copy and super cute, so lots of people are enjoying it.

By the way, Asmi herself has also posted a ‘I tried dancing’ video on TikTok.
