Danza KurudoDon Omar
It’s a song that became the theme for the Fast & Furious movie and was a huge hit.
In the promotional video, everyone—men and women alike—are drinking and dancing on a large cruiser, and it looks so fun and aspirational.
I think listening to this song while driving really amps you up and makes the drive a lot more exciting.
Effeminate; overly sentimental; being clingy/whiny (context-dependent)Gōruden Bonbā
This is the song that sparked Golden Bomber’s rise to popularity, even landing them a spot on the Kohaku Uta Gassen.
With its humor-filled lyrics, you can’t help but smile the moment it starts playing.
Since they’re an air rock band, the members who get through it with just dancing put a lot of energy into their moves—their performance looks really cool, so I highly recommend it.
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.
Material GirlMadonna
“One man kisses me, another man holds me… (that’s my loose translation)”—a track that kicks off with lyrics this bold.
Whether you catch the meaning or not, the groove and husky vocals will get everyone hyped.
I’d love to see the girls dance to it with a sexy flair.
