Silent majorityKeyakizaka46
This is Keyakizaka46’s debut song.
Since many members were new to dance, the choreography features many basic movements, making it easy to perform, but the clever formations make it visually striking.
It was popular, so many people know it, and I think it will get the crowd excited.
loveHoshino Gen
It’s the song famous from “Nigehaji.” I think many people can dance to it.
There aren’t many repeating moves, so it’s hard to memorize, but it’s especially fun once you can dance the instrumental part.
It’ll look even cooler if the left-right movements are synchronized.
OVER HEAT feat.AK-69, KOWICHI, CIMBADJ☆GO
This is a track by DJ☆GO featuring AK-69, KOWICHI, and CIMBA.
It fully brings out the unique qualities of each artist, from rappers to R&B singers, packing their appeal tightly into one song.
The catchy chorus melody sticks in your head, making it a highly danceable number.
mintUno Misako (AAA)
The third solo single from AAA’s Misako Uno is a dance track.
Its summery vibe and light, catchy groove that makes you want to start dancing really draw listeners in! Her cute voice and strong singing are also part of the appeal.
The bubbly feel of the title and music video add to the excitement.
Don’t miss this song with its positive message!

Don’t Stop The Music feat. Chisato Moritakatofubeats
Featuring Chisato Moritaka on vocals, this work blends the timeless sparkle of ’90s J-pop with a sophisticated club sound.
It captures the flutter of excitement when the music starts and the pure feelings that never fade, no matter how old you get—just listening to it makes your heart race.
The album that includes this track, First Album, was highly praised, reaching as high as No.
5 on the Oricon daily chart in October 2014.
Its danceable, comfortable beat makes it perfect for relaxing on a day off or for a drive.
