Here we go! Phantom Thief GirlMomoiro Kurōbā Zetto
There aren’t many advanced dance moves, so it’s easy to dance to, but we do use our whole bodies and dance pretty intensely.
There’s a part where one of the Momoclo members does an “ebizori jump” and it really hypes things up, but if you try it, please be very careful with your lower back.
Fortune Cookie in LoveAKB48
It’s a song that many people might already be able to dance to.
The choreography isn’t difficult, and the song is cute.
I also think it’s a piece that can be danced by a large group.
Various videos of ordinary groups dancing to it were uploaded on YouTube and became a hot topic.

With a sound that blends trance and EDM, it’s especially popular among young listeners.
It’s also a well-known song in Japan, so many people have probably heard it.

Things I like about youNishino Kana
Kana Nishino’s songs often have positive, love-themed lyrics, and while this track has a great melody, its lyrics are especially cute.
Listening to it when you’re in love lifts your spirits even more and gets you excited.
I think it’s an uplifting song that many women can relate to.
CHA-LA-HEAD-CHA-LAKageyama Hironobu
I think not only Japanese people but also many foreigners like it.
Recently, a live-action adaptation has even been produced in Hollywood, showing the love for Dragon Ball.
When it comes to Dragon Ball’s theme songs, this track is the definitive one.
He’s a member of JAM Project and is said to be the “Prince of the Anisong world.”
SorryBeyoncé
It’s a song with a very thought-provoking title and lyrics.
It begins with a gentle, piano-driven accompaniment, and the moment it suddenly shifts is incredibly cool.
While many songs stick to a mid-tempo feel, this one weaves in various tempos, which I felt really brings out Beyoncé’s unique world.
Maru Maru Mori Mori!Kaoru to Tomoki, tama ni Mukku.
This song became a major hit in 2011 as the theme for the drama Marumo no Okite.
It was performed by the duo Mana Ashida and Fuku Suzuki under the name “Kaoru to Tomoki, Sometimes Mook,” and reached No.
2 on the Oricon Weekly Chart.
Its catchy melody and the “Marumori Dance” choreography became wildly popular among children.
The lyrics convey themes of friendship and everyday little joys, earning support from a wide range of ages.
The song became a social phenomenon, even appearing at the 62nd NHK Kohaku Uta Gassen.
It’s still a track that makes you start moving and fills you with energy whenever you listen.
