Rat-tat-tatSandaime Jē Sōru Burazāzu fromu Eguzairu Toraibu85rank/position
What kind of image do you have of the word “paripi” (party people)? Flashy, flirty types who are always hitting on others—most likely something along those lines.
That’s a complete stereotype, though.
Originally, “party people” referred to the freaks and heads who, even without relying on alcohol or drugs, could transcend language barriers through the power of music and have people of different races become friends over the course of a single night.
The performance shown in this video is a playful, dance-like routine full of that “paripi” vibe, tracing the single-minded moves that have trended recently on video-sharing social networks.
The original intense choreography would be tough for total beginners to jump into, so if you’re into 3JB’s EDM, why not give this a try? The difficulty is just right.
They’ve put a lot of thought into the costumes and such in the video, too—wonderful work.
I love you.Inoue Sonoko86rank/position
It’s a song that captures the fluttering romance of student days—sneaking glances in class so you don’t get caught, trying to like the things your crush likes, and all those heart-pounding moments! Many people can’t help but relate to the worry of “What if I tell them how I feel and it becomes a burden?” Thinking about getting rejected is painful, but isn’t it even more painful and frustrating to lose them to someone else because you couldn’t speak up? Why not listen to this song to boost your courage and take the plunge to confess your feelings?
Rolling GirlHatsune Miku87rank/position
What I’m introducing this time is Hatsune Miku’s “Rolling Girl.” Some of you might not know the song itself, but its up-tempo, catchy style makes it easy for anyone to get hyped! There are also dance cover videos on video sites, so it’s a good idea to use those as references.
Someone more important than a friendGoriki Ayame88rank/position
This song, sung by Ayame Goriki, expresses gratitude and love for someone special who is more than just a friend.
It conveys how irreplaceable that important person is.
Released in July 2013, the track was also used in a Yamazaki Baking “Lunch Pack” commercial.
The music video playfully portrays school life, and its easy-to-follow dance drew attention from viewers who could dance along.
It’s a recommended song for times when you want to convey feelings to someone who’s more than a friend but not quite a lover, or to someone dear to you.
Try singing it at karaoke to express the feelings hidden in your heart.
No reply yet, kana? Old-man texting style! (feat. Amai)Yoshimoto ojisan89rank/position

Released in June 2025, the track has hooked tons of listeners thanks to YouTube Shorts.
It comically and adorably portrays the feelings of a girl bewildered by someone who sends her those uniquely awkward messages.

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.
