Popular cute songs: Japanese music / J‑POP artist ranking [2026] (31–40)

Do Re Mi So La Si DoHinatazaka4636rank/position

Cute idol songs with dance routines are a staple at year-end parties and the like, aren’t they? If you’re looking for that kind of track, I recommend “Doremisolasido,” released by Hinatazaka46 in 2019.

The dance is fresh and adorable, making it perfect for women.

The choreography isn’t too difficult either, so even people who aren’t great at sports should find it easy to dance to.

Love LeeAKMU (Akdong Musician)37rank/position

Love Lee, released in 2023 by AKMU, a brother-sister pop duo active in the K-POP scene since the early 2010s.

A video of them dancing to the rhythm of the song inside a pink heart-shaped frame drew attention on TikTok.

Dance challenges by popular Korean artists like NewJeans and ENHYPEN have also been released.

With an R&B-tinged beat and soaring synth tones, it’s an urban pop track that exudes a chill vibe.

It’s also a duet-style number you can enjoy by facing a partner—whether a lover or a friend—and dancing together.

Give it a listen.

ProblemAriana Grande38rank/position

It’s a sexy song packed with Ariana Grande’s signature style, and the dance in the music video is also very sexy with a playful, devilish vibe.

There are plenty of dance videos available, so it’s easy to use as a reference, which is another reason I recommend it.

Be sure to have fun dancing to it with your friends!

Ashnikko, an American singer-songwriter who rose to fame on TikTok, has garnered overwhelming popularity among younger generations with her distinctive visuals and trend-forward, drop-focused sound.

Every track she releases becomes a hot topic on TikTok, so many of you may already be familiar with her.

Her hit song “Daisy,” with its strikingly impactful drop, is frequently used in TikTok glow-up videos.

Despite its simple track, it leaves such a strong impression—showing just how much she obsesses over crafting the drop.

GirlfriendAvril Lavigne40rank/position

Avril Lavigne – Girlfriend (Official Video)

Avril Lavigne’s classic “Girlfriend.” Since this song doesn’t have a specific official choreography, it will be an original dance that we create from scratch.

The song is simple and structured in a way that makes it easy to add movements, so I think it’ll be fun to look at various videos for inspiration and come up with our own choreography.

Because the tempo is fast, complex moves can be difficult, so I recommend keeping it as simple as possible.

K-pop idols have long been popular in Japan, and now their talent is recognized in the West as well, making them popular there too.

Many people probably want to dance to songs by these K-pop idols.

In that case, I recommend BLACKPINK’s “Kill This Love.” If you pay careful attention all the way to your fingertips when performing this choreography, it will look beautiful.

A captivating disco-pop number is making waves.

Sung by British artist Dua Lipa, the track was released in May 2023 as part of the Barbie movie soundtrack.

With its up-tempo rhythm and radiant vocals, it celebrates the joy and liberation of dancing.

Dua Lipa also appears in the film as Mermaid Barbie, adding to the appeal by linking the song’s world with the movie.

It topped the UK Singles Chart and has been popular in many countries.

It’s the perfect song for anyone looking to boost their mood or for women who want an energizing lift.
