Geeshōjo jidai91rank/position
Girls’ Generation, the girl group that spearheaded the K-pop boom in Japan and earned immense popularity among both men and women.
Their captivating figures and perfectly synchronized footwork create dances where beauty and cuteness coexist, making them a beloved group.
Gee was released as their second single in Japan on October 20, 2010.
Within its comical lyrics are charming lines about a woman trying to make someone fall in love and wondering if the man’s feelings are directed at her—so cute, right? If you sing this song without being shy, you might just make the men around you fall in love.
Otona Blueatarashii gakkou no rīdāzu92rank/position
The new track by Atarashii Gakko! flawlessly blends a nostalgic sound with a catchy, youth-oriented rhythm.
The lyrics, which highlight the gap between outward maturity and inner growth, are striking, deftly portraying a sophisticated demeanor alongside a pure heart.
Released as a digital-only single in May 2020, it has garnered various awards, including the Grand Prize at the TikTok First-Half Trend Awards 2023.
Known for its “head-shaking dance,” the group opened the 2023 NHK Kohaku Uta Gassen.
With simple, easy-to-join choreography, it’s perfect for year-end and New Year party performances.
Enjoyable across generations, this song can help create a joyful, unified atmosphere.
loveHoshino Gen93rank/position
It’s the theme song of a drama in which Gen Hoshino himself appeared and co-starred with Yui Aragaki.
It became a hot topic as the “Koi Dance,” performed by the cast in the ending sequence, and many people—from the general public to celebrities—uploaded their versions to video-sharing sites.
I’d love to see you show off your cute dancing, too.
Gegegay no KitaroToukyou Gegegay94rank/position
First, put some effort into the costumes! As in the video, a Halloween-style look suits both men and women perfectly.
After all, “Gegegay no Kitaro” is about yokai! I’m sure the performers themselves will have a great time, too.
It’s pretty much impossible to perfectly copy the original choreography like in the video.
But if you go all-in on a parody, it’ll probably be a big hit, right? It depends on the vibe of the event, but I also think it would be fun to deliberately create a “this isn’t quite it” feel!
Silent majorityKeyakizaka4695rank/position
This song, Silent Majority, was released in 2016 as Keyakizaka46’s debut single.
It strikes a cool yet cute pose.
Performed by a large group, it even carries a somewhat military vibe and delivers full impact.
It’s an empowering track and a popular favorite among younger generations dealing with inner conflicts.
EdisonSuiyōbi no Campanella96rank/position
They’re popular across a wide range of generations—from hardcore techno fans to more visually oriented general audiences—but if we’re talking about their most popular works, wouldn’t it have to be “Edison”? It showcases the cuteness of a female vocal to the fullest, while also conveying a certain fragile quality.
The vocal line is very feminine, but the range is not very wide at mid2B to hiC#, so definitely give it a try.
#Aqua-Color PaletteMinato Akua97rank/position
“Aqua Iro Palette,” released in 2020 by virtual YouTuber Minato Aqua, who enjoys worldwide popularity.
Its borderless dance videos, crossing the boundaries between virtual and real, have also become popular on TikTok.
Set to energetic band instrumentation, her cute vocals conjure the image of a girl singing like an idol.
It’s a healing track with a message that candidly portrays a girl’s honest feelings for the one she loves.
Give a listen to this signature song by a singer leading a new era.
Dancing HeroOginome Yōko98rank/position
This song feels like a symbol of the bubble era, and I’m sure many people find it nostalgic.
What’s more, when the Tomioka High School dance team in Osaka performed to this song in 2017, it became a huge sensation, rekindling its popularity for party entertainment! If you get ready with bubbly makeup and costumes that capture the vibe of the time and dance to it, it’s sure to be a hit!
sparkleFuji Kaze99rank/position
This work by Fujii Kaze was created as a four-on-the-floor dance number inspired by ’80s–’90s Eurobeat and house.
It was written in May 2021 as a brand-new song for Honda’s new VEZEL commercial.
Riding on a driving rhythm and buoyant melody, it refreshingly portrays a story of two people’s love and their journey through life.
While centered on romance, it carries a message of moving forward together with a positive attitude—smiling through hardships and overcoming them.
Its upbeat, airy sound and lyrics full of love and hope make it a perfect track for creative dance performances or anyone looking to elevate the energy.
I want to be your lover.Abe Mao100rank/position
This is a song by Mao Abe, famous as a classic about unrequited love.
As the title “I Want to Be Your Girlfriend” suggests, it conveys a girl’s feelings of wanting to become someone special to the person she likes.
The things you want to ask your crush but can’t, the things you’d want to do if you went to an event together—if you’ve ever had a one-sided crush, these are worries and thoughts you’ve likely had at least once.
If a woman sings it at karaoke, it might just make a man’s heart skip a beat.
Lend an ear to the love feelings woven into its heartrending melody.
