BANZAITodoroki Hajime
A track that sets an inner scream to a cool beat.
Created by Hazime Todoroki, who also performs as a member of the VTuber unit ReGLOSS, it was digitally released in June 2025.
Following solo songs like “Countach,” it brilliantly fuses an ennui-laced vibe with a danceable electronic sound.
The edgy track, tinged with R&B and hip-hop flavors, is insanely addictive! The lyrics and melody dynamically express inner conflict and a sense of emptiness, making them equally compelling.
Don’t miss the choreography in the 3D MV, crafted by Hazime Todoroki herself!
moooove!!King&Prince
It’s gaining attention as a powerful dance track rooted in hip-hop.
The song carries a strong message about pushing forward without being constrained by society’s rules or noise, staying true to yourself.
It stands out as a track that highlights King & Prince’s new musical direction and exceptional dance skills.
This piece is one of the songs on their 15th single, released in May 2024, and it was also selected as the theme song for TV Tokyo’s 60th anniversary drama “95.” The music video features styling inspired by ’90s culture, resulting in a blend of nostalgia and freshness.
The cool dance performance synchronized with the high-BPM rhythm is a must-see.
Its powerful sound and uplifting lyrics make it perfect as background music for dance practice or workouts.
VALENTIBoA
Released in 2002 as BoA’s seventh single.
The song was used as the commercial theme for D3 Publisher’s game “PROJECT MINERVA” and as the opening theme for TV Tokyo’s “JAPAN COUNTDOWN.” It debuted at No.
2 on the Oricon Weekly Singles Chart and became the best-selling single among BoA’s releases.
This track cemented BoA’s cool-yet-cute image.
Crazy about youEXILE
It was released in 2015 as EXILE’s 47th single.
The song was used in a commercial for Suntory Beer’s “The Malts,” and the music video features EXILE members—known for their love of alcohol—happily toasting with their friends.
The chorus dance, commonly called the “Get Dance,” is performed together with fans at live shows, making for an exciting atmosphere.
slow…Snow Man
“slow…” is a cool, masculine-feel track released in 2023 by the nine-member male idol group Snow Man.
It’s a slow-tempo dance number where their sexy vocals blend perfectly with the groove, making it super cool.
In particular, the structure—where it strips down to just vocals before the chorus and then brings in top-line synthesizers that create a mysterious vibe in the chorus, a technique often used in recent K-pop like BLACKPINK—is absolutely irresistible!
