Popular Cute Songs: Japanese Music / J-POP Artist Ranking [2026] (61–70)
You and the summer music festivalSHISHAMO61rank/position
SHISHAMO is a three-piece rock band that’s especially popular among teenagers.
Their biggest charm is their laid-back cuteness! You can feel that relaxed, cute vibe in their song “Kimi to Natsu Fes” as well.
The melody has a classic J-rock feel, and the lyrics depict a boy and a girl who promised to go to a festival together.
It captures the authentic feelings of a girl, so you’re sure to relate! It’s a wonderful, summery track.
The One and Only Flower in the WorldSMAP62rank/position
Even people who aren’t SMAP fans know and love this song, “Sekai ni Hitotsu Dake no Hana.” Released in 2003 as SMAP’s 35th single, it’s a beloved national anthem of sorts, also famous for having been written and composed by Noriyuki Makihara.
Because it’s a song everyone knows, it’s easy to get the crowd excited, and with its relaxed tempo, it’s a number that even those who aren’t confident at dancing can move to.
I’m sure the audience will end up humming along as well.
August NightSilent Siren63rank/position
Silent Siren, the girls’ band affectionately known as Saisai.
The vocalist Sumire Yoshida’s voice is insanely cute.
As you can tell from the title, “Hachigatsu no Yoru” (August Night) is a bittersweet song themed around summer nights.
It’s about couples who are just before dating or have just started going out.
The lyrics are vividly realistic in a good way, making the scenes easy to picture—guaranteed to give you butterflies! Be sure to check it out!
EZ DO DANCETRF64rank/position
Released in 1993, TRF’s “EZ DO DANCE” is still listened to and danced to today.
It’s one of TRF’s signature songs and a well-known dance track—there’s even a DVD released for dieting through dance.
Performing this dance would likely liven up parties with a wide range of ages, regardless of generation.
And if you not only dance but also imitate DJ KOO and add a “DJ” segment, it becomes a lively act that also works as an impression!
TT -Japanese ver.-Twice65rank/position
TWICE’s “TT,” which expresses crying with its signature TT hand gesture choreography, is recommended because the chorus moves are relatively easy among their songs.
It’s of course cute when female employees dance it, but it would likely be a hit if male employees dressed in drag performed it too.
Like TWICE, if you coordinate outfits so that, while each is different, they share some common elements in color, shape, or overall vibe, it will create a sense of unity.
If getting together to practice is difficult, exchange videos of yourselves dancing and fine-tune things by comparing them.
Shake It OffTaylor Swift66rank/position
This is Taylor Swift’s hit song “Shake It Off.” It’s popular with people of all genders, but it’s especially beloved by girls.
The song is cute, and the dance is adorable and eye-catching, but since many parts of the choreography in the music video are quite challenging, let’s perform it with an original dance instead.
beetle (specifically, a rhinoceros beetle)aiko67rank/position
When it comes to classic cute songs, it has to be this one! “Kabutomushi” is one of Aiko’s most popular tracks.
Comparing someone you love to a rhinoceros beetle is so quintessentially Aiko.
Something that could feel tacky without the right touch ends up utterly charming—so impressive.
The falsetto at the end of the chorus is known to be a tricky spot in karaoke, but it’s incredibly pleasant to listen to.
It’s a wonderful song that leaves you with a sweet, slightly bittersweet feeling!
I tried falling in love with you.chay68rank/position
If you’re looking for a mature love song, we recommend “Anata ni Koi wo Shitemimashita.” When it comes to chay, her husky voice is definitely the most captivating, right? You can fully savor chay’s husky vocals in “Anata ni Koi wo Shitemimashita.” The slightly retro, Showa-era style melody gives it a nostalgic feel.
That said, it’s basically modern at its core, so even teens can enjoy listening to it.
Be sure to check it out!
Rhapsody of the Blue Skyfhána69rank/position
As for the opening theme of the anime “Miss Kobayashi’s Dragon Maid,” the chorus dance is very cute.
It might be a great idea to try dancing in a maid outfit just like in the music video.
The choreography isn’t very difficult, so why not give it a light, casual try?
Shinako World 🌷💜airi DX · shinako70rank/position
A song that’s already familiar on TikTok has been released.
It’s the first collaboration between Airi DX and Shinako, packed with a free-spirited worldview over a pop track.
Released in March 2024, this piece marks the debut of the popular TikTok creator Shinako.
Airi DX produced the project and also handled the choreography and music video direction.
With its unique touch incorporating dance and the chewy sounds of gummies, it’s trending across TikTok and other social media platforms.
It’s a must-listen for those who love free expression or want a boost of positivity.
