This is a song by the hugely popular idol group AKB48.

Highschool ♡ loveE-girls
Released in 2014 as E-girls’ 11th single.
Chosen as the theme song for the Kansai TV/Fuji TV drama “GTO 2nd Season,” it reached No.
2 on the Oricon Weekly Singles Chart.
Featuring all E-girls members, the song evokes the excitement of a reunion where love stories blossom, and the choreography is sharp yet cute and girly.
Rising SunEXILE
I think this song is one that everyone knows among EXILE’s tracks.
The choreography for the chorus is distinctive and looks difficult at first, so people tend to give up, but once you get the hang of it, it’s easy.
There are lots of choreography videos on YouTube and elsewhere, so it’s easy to learn, too.
Go! Go! Summer!KARA
It was released in 2011 as KARA’s fourth single.
An arranged version of the song, GO GO Summer! (bright Ver.), was used as the tie-in song for LG Electronics’ Docomo smartphone Optimus bright (L-07C).
In the music video for this song, they perform para para, a dance that originated in Japan, which they dubbed “Kara-para.”
12 cm shouldert-Ace
You can tell from the music video too, but when you listen to it, it feels like you’re by the seaside—a laid-back dance track.
It’s a song by t-Ace, a rapper from Ibaraki Prefecture, included on his 2019 album TSUBASA.
It’s a love song that straightforwardly expresses feelings for a younger partner.
Also recommended as background music for a drive date.
Here we go! Phantom Thief GirlMomoiro Kurōbā Zetto
It was released in 2010 as Momoiro Clover Z’s major-label debut single.
Despite being an idol group, their songs feature very intense dancing and are very popular at karaoke.
Be sure to hype things up with the “shrimp bend jump”!
