Yokai First CalisthenicsYoukai Wotchi
It’s a truly uncanny song—I’m not from that generation at all (obviously), yet before I knew it I could sing the chorus.
I think both adults and kids can have fun dancing together to it.
The choreography isn’t difficult, and I recommend it because it’s not too intense and not too laid-back either.
Silent majorityKeyakizaka46
This is a song by Keyakizaka46, a next-generation idol group produced by Yasushi Akimoto.
While their melodies often become a topic of conversation for their accessibility, the music is based on dance music.
In particular, this song led to many people imitating the dance.
Dancing HeroOginome Yōko
Yoko Oginome’s “Dancing Hero” became a sudden revival hit after the Tomioka High School dance club posted their “Bubble Dance” on YouTube.
The song was originally released in 1985, so it actually wasn’t from the bubble era.
Naughty SunORANGE RANGE
This song is also famous as the theme song for Ikemen Paradise starring Maki Horikita.
Both the melody and the lyrics are super upbeat, and in a way it’s a really catchy tune.
The performance is full of groove and the hooky melody is truly addictive.
I find myself humming it even when I’m alone.
InfluencerNogizaka 46
This is a song by Nogizaka46, an idol group produced by Yasushi Akimoto.
While they usually have many refreshing-sounding songs, this track became a hot topic for being based on passionate Latin music.
The choreography is also famous for its speed, and people confident in their dancing tried to imitate it to show off their skills.

♬ doppelgänger – Creepy Nuts
It features a four-on-the-floor sound with an intoxicating, danceable beat that leaves a strong impression.
Centered on themes of personal identity and self-awareness, the song’s duality—its front and back sides—at times evokes a dark atmosphere.
Written as the theme song for the film Under Ninja, this work perfectly matches Creepy Nuts’ worldview and the story.
It will be included on the album LEGION, scheduled for release in March 2025, which is also set to feature tie-in tracks from popular anime.
It’s a recommended track for anyone who wants to sway their body while reexamining their sense of self.
It also works well when you want to refresh your mood with dance music or as background music for posting dance videos on social media.
OtonokeCreepy Nuts
This track leads music and the occult into a realm no one could have imagined.
Released in October 2024, the opening theme for the TV anime “Dandadan” brilliantly captures Creepy Nuts’ unique worldview.
DJ Matsunaga’s beats fuse with R-Shitei’s eerily tinged rap, deftly portraying how music can possess the human heart.
Deeply reflecting the anime’s atmosphere, the track is perfect not only for hip-hop fans but also for those who love the occult and horror.
By listening to this piece, you’re sure to experience the transcendent power of music.
