ProblemAriana Grande43rank/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!
DaisyAshnikko44rank/position
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 Lavigne45rank/position
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.
Kill This LoveBLAKPINK46rank/position
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.
Happy SynthesizerEasy Pop47rank/position
Listening to its sparkly, poppy, and bright vibe makes you feel really happy.
The melody is a true girls’ killer tune, so it seems to be especially popular with women.
Since it’s very rhythmic music, it also gets highly rated as a “tried dancing” video track.
Good job, summer!HALCALI48rank/position
A cute track by the duo HALCALI, featuring a tropical, translucent sound.
Included on their classic album Harukari Bacon, released in September 2003, this song blends sprightly rap with a poppy melody in a wonderfully comfortable way.
The album is also known for being the first by female hip-hop artists to break into the top 10 on the Oricon charts.
The lyrics adorably depict a budding summer crush on the beach and the tender feelings of a girl getting sentimental in the night breeze.
As of 2025, their music—including this song—has been rediscovered on social media and is enjoying a revival, making it popular in short videos as well.
It’s perfect for making summer memories or when you’re in a slightly sentimental mood.
Just listening to it conjures vivid summer scenes—a charming summer song indeed.
I want to be cute.HoneyWorks feat. Narumi Seina (CV.: Amamiya Sora)49rank/position
The hugely popular creator unit, HoneyWorks—an artist adored especially by teens.
This song, “I Want to Be Cute,” features Sena Narumi, a character from HoneyWorks’ Confession Executive Committee.
The voice is provided by Sora Amamiya, who is also a member of the voice acting unit TrySail.
Since the Confession Executive Committee centers on students, it may be harder for adults to relate, but students will definitely find it relatable!
