Popular cute songs. Japanese music / J-POP artist ranking [2026] (51–60)
OMGNewJeans57rank/position
NewJeans is a South Korean girl group that enjoys high popularity in Japan and the United States.
Their release “OMG” is a great recommendation for year-end and New Year parties.
It’s an R&B song with a girly vibe, singing a sweet-and-sour love story in both Korean and English.
The tempo isn’t very fast, so it’s relatively easy to dance to.
The impactful choreography and catchy melody are also major draws.
Give it a try!
Walking with youNovelbright58rank/position
It’s a pretty difficult song that jumps straight into the chorus from the very beginning without any intro.
It’s up-tempo and very band-like, so it looks cool if you can sing it! The overall vocal range is G3–E5, and the melody moves up and down a lot.
The vibe of the A and B sections in verse 1 and verse 2 changes a bit, too.
There’s a lot to memorize, right? (lol) Even if you can get through the first verse smoothly, many people stumble on the second! My students also started by memorizing the English at the beginning of the second verse! Also, when there are lots of words, try keeping the rhythm with your hands while you sing.
There are almost no breaks in this song, so it’s pretty tough, but if you tackle it one melodic section at a time, you’ll definitely be able to sing it! You’ve got this!
APT.ROSÉ & Bruno Mars59rank/position
This collaboration track, which brings together BLACKPINK’s main vocalist ROSÉ and global singer Bruno Mars, is a pop-rock number inspired by the Korean drinking game “Apartment.” Its chant-like call-and-response sticks in your head and has an irresistible, dance-inducing addictiveness.
Released in October 2024, it topped charts around the world and drew attention as the lead single from ROSÉ’s first album, “Rosie.” It’s guaranteed to bring the crowd together—try dancing to it with everyone shouting the calls in unison at year-end or New Year’s parties!
HabitSEKAI NO OWARI60rank/position
A surreal dance featuring members in school uniforms and dancers performing with blank expressions at a school has become a hot topic! The music video for this song was selected as Video of the Year at the MTV VMAJ 2022, an award recognizing outstanding works.
It’s been copied by many popular creators and influencers, sending dance videos trending across social media! With its strong contemporary elements, it’s surprisingly easy to make it look convincing, so even beginners should give it a try!

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.
August NightSilent Siren62rank/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 DANCETRF63rank/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!
