Fun Song Rankings [2026] (21–30)
StarmineDa-iCE22rank/position
A massive hit number that represents Da-iCE in 2022, like a grand firework coloring the night sky.
The lyrics, filled with a strong will to keep trying not just once but over and over, could truly be called an anthem for life! The sound is bursting with festival-like exhilaration that makes its huge popularity on TikTok totally understandable—it’s fantastic! Released in August 2022, the song won the Excellence Award at the 64th Japan Record Awards.
The dynamic choreography by s**t kingz’s Shoji is full of life, and dancing it with your friends is sure to deepen your bond!
water lily blossomShonan no Kaze23rank/position
A four-member reggae group, Shonan no Kaze, known for electrifying fans with live performances that unite them with the audience, delivers their sixth single.
It’s an upbeat track featuring Trinidad and Tobago’s traditional music, soca, and it’s also recognized as a local anthem for Kanagawa Prefecture.
With its driving arrangement and relentless melody, it’s sure to fire up any karaoke session.
It’s a perfect pick for large-group karaoke—guaranteed to make you want to whirl a towel like you’re at a live show and go wild.
chantAdo24rank/position
It’s the official theme song of Universal Studios Japan’s Halloween event—the one that became famous for the zombie dance! It’s an extremely challenging song packed with high-pitched shouts, low, spoken parts, and rap-like sections.
I learned it together with my students during lessons, too! Of course, once you can sing it well, it’s incredibly fun and satisfying! Some of the lyrics use difficult words, so I recommend listening to the original and memorizing them carefully one by one.
The tempo is very fast and you have to keep singing one line after another, but if you push too hard, you can wreck your throat, and if you hold back too much, it loses impact.
If you use your breath well and project your falsetto strongly, you can sing with a cool, powerful tone! Also, since it’s a dance track, once you feel more comfortable, try moving your body or swaying as you sing—you’ll lock into the rhythm, your voice will come out more easily, and it’ll be easier to add accents!
LOVE MachineMōningu Musume.25rank/position
While formed by members selected from those who did not pass an audition project, the girl group Morning Musume has become synonymous with idols in the J-POP scene.
This is their seventh single.
It became the group’s first million-selling record and a signature song that made the name Morning Musume known to listeners across generations.
With an arrangement based on disco sounds and comical choreography, it’s perfect for enjoying together at karaoke.
Boasting exceptionally catchy lyrics and melody, it’s a quintessential Heisei-era karaoke number.
New EraAdo26rank/position
This song, with its dynamic rhythm and hopeful lyrics, is perfect for kids’ dance.
Ado’s powerful vocals express the excitement of a new world and spark children’s imaginations.
The tightrope-like melody and lyrics portraying a longing for freedom teach the importance of taking on challenges.
Released in June 2022, the song was used as the theme for the anime film ONE PIECE FILM RED and also served as the opening theme for the Fuji TV anime series ONE PIECE.
It’s recommended for those looking for a go-to dance track or for parents deciding on music for their children’s dance recitals.
Many choreography videos are available, so try starting with some simple steps!
stroll27rank/position
Sampo, the opening theme of Studio Ghibli’s film My Neighbor Totoro released in 1988, is a hugely popular song among children of every generation.
Its bright rhythm that makes you want to start walking, along with lyrics that seem to capture the joys kids discover on a stroll, make singing it feel like going on an adventure! The song is also popular as a dance tune, so it’s fun to come up with choreography that matches the words and try dancing to it.
Perfect as BGM or for dances at school sports days!
paprika28rank/position
Paprika is a song composed by Kenshi Yonezu and performed—singing and dancing—by Foorin.
It’s a familiar number for expressive activities in nursery schools and kindergartens.
The lively music and choreography are perfect for enjoying with children.
While it’s fun to learn the choreography precisely, even having one- and two-year-olds hop along to the beat is adorable.
If you’re presenting it for an audience, you might consider imitating Foorin and preparing costumes with an Asian-inspired flair.
