Girls’ Generation Shoujo Jidai ‘Gee’ MV (Japanese Ver.)

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.

ATARASHII GAKKO! – Otona Blue (Official Music Video)

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.

Gen Hoshino – Koi (Official Video)

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.

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!

Keyakizaka46 'Silent Majority'

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.
