In 2019, they swept the rookie awards, and the following year they also won Best Performance.

WA DA DAKep1er30rank/position

Kep1er 케플러 | ‘WA DA DA’ M/V

Kep1er’s first mini album’s lead track “WA DA DA” is a hit that makes a strong impression of the group.

The song is divided into a powerful EDM-style section and a cute idol-like section.

Since the tone and vibe differ, it may help to be mindful of switching your dance style accordingly.

The beginning of the chorus has a strong beat, is catchy, very powerful, and still feminine.

In the latter half of the chorus, the choreography suddenly shifts to classic idol cuteness, so it’s crucial to switch from sharp, powerful movements in the first half to cute, playful movements in the second half.

If you can show that contrast in expression, it’ll be perfect!

Mrs. GREEN APPLE “Lilac” Official Music Video

A heart-racing, fast-paced number packed with the sparkle and bittersweetness of youth! Released in April 2024 by the rock band Mrs.

GREEN APPLE, this song was written as the opening theme for the anime “Oblivion Battery” and went on to win the Grand Prize at the 66th Japan Record Awards in the same year.

Most striking are the lyrics, which, while holding onto the anxiety of time slipping away and the frustration of one’s own imperfections, still give you the courage to love even that pain and move forward into the future.

It’s no wonder it became their fastest track to surpass 100 million streams—a powerful piece through and through.

When you’re ready to take a new step, listening to it will surely fill you with warm energy that helps you affirm yourself.

[I Tried Dancing] Hinatazaka46 “Kyun” [Hijirizaka Hinata Club]

If you want to show off a cute dance, we recommend Hinatazaka46’s debut song “Kyun,” released in 2019.

The charming choreography, performed with a variety of formations unique to a large group, drew a lot of attention.

There are parts where everyone dances in sync and parts where the group splits into teams to perform different moves, offering plenty of highlights and making it a rewarding song to master perfectly.

Make sure the synchronized sections are spot-on, and cooperate with your fellow dancers as you perform!
