[J-Pop] Japanese Dance Music That Makes You Want to Get Up and Dance (51–60)
LOVE＆JOYKimura Yuki
A single packed with the exhilarating appeal of Eurobeat! Yuki Kimura’s clear, soaring vocals fuse perfectly with Daisuke Asakura’s energetic production to create a high-speed dance track.
Riding a BPM of 173, its bright, forward-looking message evokes a moving sensation, as if a rainbow were arcing across the listener’s heart.
Released in July 2000, the song captured many hearts as the theme for the TV drama “Daisuke Hanamura.” It reached No.
24 on the Oricon Weekly Singles Chart and achieved total sales of 116,000 copies.
Perfect as BGM for highway or mountain-pass drives, it’s also ideal when you need a boost for a tired spirit.
Grip the wheel and set off on a special musical journey to this rhythm.
Do it! Jump into the air.DA PUMP
Riding the spectacular comeback sparked by their 2018 smash hit “U.S.A.,” DA PUMP released this B-side to “Sakura” in 2019.
The music video was self-produced by the members, showcasing choreography that perfectly matches the party-ready track.
The simple, upper-body-focused dance seems perfectly suited for TikTok, doesn’t it?
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.
chantAdo
The song sung by Ado became the theme song for Universal Studios Japan’s Halloween event.
Since the same composers who worked on “Odo” handled this track, you can sense a connection between them.
In particular, the way the music unfolds rapidly while keeping an infectious groove that makes you want to start dancing is, as with “Odo,” its greatest appeal.
The lyrics, which feature many complex kanji, are not only pleasing to the ear as pure sound, but also heighten the sense of excitement even further.
