[J-Pop] Japanese Dance Music That Makes You Want to Get Up and Dance (51–60)
Young NightsKSUKE
While performing worldwide from major festivals around the globe to nightclubs, producer and DJ KSUKE—who is also drawing attention as DJ DANGER×DEER (DJ / KSUKE) from Coronana More Mom (Maximum the Hormone 2nd Store)—delivers a flagship track from 2019 that he produced.
As news spread about his first-ever appearance at ROCK IN JAPAN FESTIVAL 2019, the track was also selected as the theme song for the ULTRA JAPAN 2019 commercial.
Cat’s Meow (feat. Hidefumi Kenmochi)Den-on-bu
This track blends a distinctive electronic sound with playfully catchy beats.
Produced by Hidefumi Kenmochi—known as the track maker for Wednesday Campanella—it was released in April 2025.
The resonant, bass-driven electronics pair perfectly with the airy vocals, creating a one-of-a-kind sonic world.
It’s highly danceable, the kind of song that makes your body move naturally, and its unpredictable structure keeps it from ever getting boring.
If you love electronic music, don’t miss this one!
Pineapple JuiceINI
This city pop track features a languid yet comfortable groove that invites you into an endless, tropical vacation.
It’s included on the album “THE ORIGIN,” releasing in June 2025.
Member Xu Yufan participates in the lyric writing for the first time, crafting a theme of a “sweet-and-sour summer” that captures each moment whole—like sipping a juice—brimming with fresh emotion.
Perfect for summer drives or hot days when you want a little boost! Turn your everyday life into a breezy vacation with this song!
BRAND NEW TOMORROWTRF
It was released in 1995 as trf’s 11th single.
The song was used as a tie-in for the TV Tokyo drama “Christmas Kiss: Let’s Meet on Christmas Eve” and a Uniqlo commercial, with Tomomi Kahala participating on chorus.
The members said they were puzzled by the choreography, but despite its rough style, the dance still looks cool, showcasing the high level of trf’s dance skills.

EZ DO DANCETRF
When it comes to dance, this is the song.
It’s a track from the ’90s, but lately it’s been getting attention as a dance workout tune.
The choreography is dynamic, so if you can nail it sharply, it looks really cool, and the song evokes the kind of dance that was popular during the bubble era.
Inspector Pepperpinku redii
This is a song by Pink Lady, the idol duo who rocketed to stardom with catchy melodies, then-rare sexy costumes, and choreography set to a fast tempo.
They were so popular that when a member said, “Oolong tea is the secret to good health,” oolong tea vanished from store shelves.
Dancing HeroOginome Yōko
It became a hot topic because it was the song the Tomioka High School dance club performed.
The original is Yoko Oginome’s dance, so the choreography is simple.
The song itself is considered old, but since it’s been featured on TV a lot recently, I think people of all ages can get excited about it.
