Released in November 2003, the track is a cover of ZOO’s fourth single, which was a major hit in 1991, and it was used as the ending theme for the variety show “Uchimura Produce” as well as in several commercials.
The intro dance performance—where the members line up in a straight row and spin their bodies—is guaranteed to get the crowd hyped the moment it starts, making it perfect for party entertainment and more.
Precisely because it’s a famous song everyone knows, we hope you’ll practice thoroughly and deliver a sharp, high-energy dance to this catchy, upbeat tune.

A five-member unit of elementary and junior high school students, Foorin, formed for the “NHK 2020 Support Song Project.” This song, created by singer-songwriter Kenshi Yonezu, became a major hit with its positive lyrics and a pop yet somehow nostalgic melody.
The cute choreography is easy to dance to for everyone from children to adults; even beginners can perform it easily once they learn it.
It’s also danced at children’s events like sports days, and it’s a recommended dance number that’s sure to excite the crowd when performed by a large group.
PERFECT HUMANRADIO FISH
This is the sixth digital single by RADIO FISH, a six-member dance and vocal unit formed around the comedy duo Oriental Radio.
The song features lyrics themed around self-praise and a distinctive choreography known as the “Flying Man.” Released in December 2015, it quickly became a social phenomenon, topping music download site rankings.
It also won numerous awards, including the Wired Topic Award at the 49th Japan Cable Awards and the Planning Award at the 58th Japan Record Awards.
With its catchy melody and dance, it’s perfect for livening up karaoke sessions or parties, and is a great pick-me-up when you want to boost your confidence or energy.

This is the 15th single by Ikimono-gakari, a two-person band that continues to produce hit numbers with a wide musical range, from pop tunes to ballads.
Released in September 2009 as a double A-side single with “YELL,” the song was written specifically for Ezaki Glico’s Pocky commercial.
The cute choreography—especially the arm-swinging move in the chorus—is simple yet creates a powerful impact.
Because it’s catchy and doesn’t involve difficult moves, it’s a recommended number even for the yutori generation.
R.Y.U.S.E.I.Sandaime Jē Sōru Burazāzu fromu Eguzairu Toraibu
The dance and vocal group Sandaime J Soul Brothers from EXILE TRIBE has won popularity with their rich vocals and catchy dance performances.
Their 13th single, chosen as the 2014 campaign song for Tokyo City Keiba, features a striking arrangement that feels both mystical and exhilarating—perfectly evoking the title.
The melody has a transparent, floating quality that feels like being drawn into the night sky, pulling listeners into the song’s world just by hearing it.
From the “Running Man” danced during the interlude to other moves that look cool yet are actually simple, it’s a great pick for dance beginners as well.
Perform it on a culture festival or school festival stage, and it becomes a high-energy dance number that will get everyone pumped up.
