m-flo, with a solid grounding in authentic club music and a talent for seamlessly translating genre-defying sounds into J-POP.

Known as one of their signature tracks, this song portrays the bittersweet emotions of a female protagonist who dances the night away on the floor, trying to cut off her feelings for someone who’s indifferent to her.

Released in January 2001 as their ninth major-label single, it became widely recognized after being featured in a Kanebo Cosmetics commercial.

It’s also included on the classic album EXPO EXPO.

The rhythm at the core of this piece was remarkably innovative in Japan’s music scene at the time, and its refined sensibility is still striking today.

It’s a cool dance tune, perfect for nights when you want to feel a bit more grown-up or when you need a change of mood.

♬ (RE)PLAY – Daichi Miura

This is the 20th single by singer-songwriter Daichi Miura, whose dance skills and expressive power have earned him the nickname “Japan’s Michael Jackson.” Written as the theme song for the world breakdancing championship Red Bull BC One World Final 2016, it’s a cool number featuring a groovy arrangement and soulful melody.

The difficulty is high because each member has a solo dance part, but that’s exactly why, if you can nail it perfectly in a party-performance setting, you’ll draw a lot of attention.

An emotional dance tune with sharp, captivating performance.
