C.O.S.M.O.S. ~Cosmos (Autumn Cherry Blossoms)~Sandaime Jē Sōru Burazāzu fromu Eguzairu Toraibu
Released in 2014 as the 14th single by Sandaime J Soul Brothers from EXILE TRIBE, this song was featured in the Samantha Tiara & Samantha Thavasa “Samantha Tiara Jewelry” TV commercial and the Huis Ten Bosch “Kingdom of Light” commercial.
It expresses, through both music and dance, the bittersweet pain of falling in love with someone you shouldn’t love.
The choreography is sensual with a lingering sense of melancholy, conveying the allure of a mature man.
exciteMiura Daichi
It’s a song with both calm and energetic parts, so adding sharp movements makes it look really cool.
I think it will look impressive whether you perform it solo or in sync with a group.
Also, since it was used as a theme for Kamen Rider Ex-Aid, it’s a song that’s popular with kids too.
ButterflyKōda Kumi
It was released in 2005 as Koda Kumi’s 16th single.
Chosen as the theme song for the TBS drama series Ai no Gekijō: Cosmetic no Mahō 2, it won the 47th Japan Record Award.
This song marked her first appearance on NHK’s Kōhaku Uta Gassen.
The music video, featuring her dancing in sexy outfits, became a hot topic and helped establish the phrase “ero-kakkoii” (erotic yet cool) as her signature image.
Geeshōjo jidai
It’s a song included on Girls’ Generation’s first mini-album released in South Korea in 2009, and a Japanese single of the same name was released in 2010.
It became a massive hit, winning the Best New Artist Award at the 52nd Japan Record Awards.
With stunning style and feminine choreography, it’s an incredibly cute track.
Tokyo at 7 p.m.Nomiya Maki
Tokyo wa Yoru no Shichiji (Tokyo is at 7 p.m.), released in December 1993 by Pizzicato Five when Maki Nomiya was serving as their third lead vocalist.
When you think of Pizzicato Five, this is the song—it’s that representative.
Many artists have covered it, too.
Maki Nomiya remains effortlessly cool—she’s wonderful.
Isn’t it a dance track that appeals to a wide range of generations?

It’s a song that captures the vibe of enjoying a party, packed with lines that can make you feel emotional when you listen during a party.
Funkify YouB.B.WAVES
B.B.WAVES’ debut captivates with an energetic, funk-driven sound.
The powerful choral work and the sharp dance performance in the music video are seriously cool.
Their overflowing passion comes through fully in the music, the vocals, and the choreography.
It’s a vibrant, dance-inducing track that’s perfect for party scenes and beyond!
