Isn’t this one of those songs that sticks in your head no matter when you hear it—totally addictive? “Rat-tat-tat,” released digitally in 2019 by Sandaime J SOUL BROTHERS from EXILE TRIBE, is the kind of track that loops in your mind after a single listen.
It’s also used during Halloween Nights at Universal Studios Japan, where people dressed as zombies dance to it—the contrast is striking and makes it really fun to watch.
The choreography is simple, but the key is sharp execution—clean stops and starts with dynamic shifts—making it a dance tune that will surely make viewers want to get up and move too.
ReiwaGōruden Bonbā3rank/position
Although we’ve long since gotten used to the era name changing from Heisei to Reiwa, at the time it sounded unfamiliar and became a hot topic everywhere.
Golden Bomber’s “Reiwa” also drew attention for how quickly it was released, and it’s a perfect dance song—glitzy and guaranteed to hype up a crowd.
When you think of Golden Bomber, “Memeshikute” tends to get the spotlight, but “Reiwa” is another track that lifts everyone’s spirits—fun to dance to and sure to get people excited.

If you want to steal the spotlight at a year-end or New Year’s party, this song is highly recommended.

It started gaining popularity around 2018, with many people posting “I tried dancing” videos on TikTok and YouTube.
Its familiar melody and humorous moves have been embraced by a wide range of age groups.
It all began when members of the street performance group “Nanikore? Gekidan” performed it on the street, and it was later featured on TV shows as well.
The choreography is easy for anyone to enjoy, so if you dance with your coworkers, you’re sure to get the whole venue hyped up together.

This is another hit song from AKB48 that defined an era.
The disco-style melody makes it easy to keep the rhythm, and the choreography is simple to learn—monotone yet irresistibly imitable.
The chorus features the so-called “onigiri dance,” which is catchy and easy to remember.
As you can see in the music video where many people are dancing, I think it’s a lovely routine that even beginners can handle.
The counts are easy to follow and the tempo isn’t fast, so it’s a great track to try.
P.A.R.T.Y. ~Universe Festival~DA PUMP6rank/position
This is a song by DA PUMP, who made a comeback with “U.S.A.” and even performed at the Kouhaku (Red and White Year-End Song Festival).
Compared to “U.S.A.,” this track may seem a bit less intense, but its catchy groove and brightness are just as strong as their other songs.
The choreography is relatively simple, so with some practice, anyone can dance to it.
It looks even cooler when a large group synchronizes the moves, making it perfect for a dance performance! Of course, it’s also recommended for karaoke, where a few people can sing while dancing together.

TWICE, especially popular among young women.
K-pop girl groups have incredibly sharp choreography, and that coolness and cuteness are a big part of their appeal.
