We can’t leave out “DNA,” with its pleasant EDM-style sound.
This one is incredibly easy to groove to.
The intro kicks off with Jungkook’s whistling, and the track builds around it, giving it a fresh, poppy feel.
Then, with the addition of EDM-like heavy bass, it becomes a very danceable song—perfect when you want to sing and move your body.
Also, the tempo is relaxed with lots of sustained notes, making it a good pick if you’re aiming to rack up extra points.

Released in September 2023, this is the group’s ninth single, chosen as the theme song for the TBS drama “Trillion Game,” starring group member Ren Meguro.
Its positive message—pushing forward while even enjoying adversity—and a driving, rock ’n’ roll–infused ensemble give listeners a powerful boost.
Achieving a record-breaking first-week sales figure of approximately 869,000 copies, the track stands out with a cool, addictive melody line that draws you deeper into its world the more you listen.
It’s a perfect pick for decisive moments or when you want to lift your spirits and refresh—an energizing number that showcases Snow Man’s intensity.
weeeekNEWS33rank/position

The seventh single by NEWS, written especially for them by the vocal group GReeeeN, is “weeeek.” The four consecutive “e”s in the title serve as a sign that the song was provided by GReeeeN! With lyrics themed around “one week,” it’s a fun track that also gives courage as an anthem for businesspeople.
The chorus harmonies are a highlight, so it’s perfect for harmonizing at karaoke to amp up the mood! Sing it with your coworkers and blow off some stress!
HELLO HELLOSnow Man34rank/position

This is a love song by Snow Man that delivered a refreshing thrill as the theme song for the film Honey Lemon Soda, starring member Raul.
Carried by a melody that feels like love bursting forth from a fateful encounter, the feelings come through straight and clear.
The music video, which leaps from a drawing into the real “you,” also amplified its pure worldview.
Released in July 2021 as their fourth single, it debuted at No.
1 on the Oricon weekly chart with 806,000 copies sold in its first week.
Notably, it marked their third consecutive single to exceed 500,000 first-week sales—a remarkable feat for a male artist and the first in about ten years.
Listen to it under the summer blue sky, thinking of someone special, and you’ll be wrapped in a heart-filling sense of happiness.
I wish you lots of happinessnaniwa danshi35rank/position

“Sachiare” by Naniwa Danshi was written specifically for them by Yujin Kitagawa of the nationally beloved duo Yuzu.
Released as a single in April 2022, it’s also widely known as the theme song for Fuji TV’s Mezamashi TV.
The track condenses the group’s sparkling charm into a bright, sunny pop tune, featuring a light, breezy rhythm that suits the morning air.
In contrast to the cooler vibe they show on the other A-side, this song is crafted as a supportive anthem that gently accompanies listeners in their everyday lives.
Rather than pushing tough-minded pep talks, its message affirms the ordinary day, resonating warmly.
It’s an ideal song to start your day on a positive note or to listen to on your commute to school or work.
