Dance music that boosts your mood just by listening (61–70)
Joyfulikimonogakari
This song features a lively, energetic rhythm and a catchy melody that makes you want to hum along.
Kiyoe Yoshioka’s clear, expansive vocals from Ikimono-gakari brighten the hearts of listeners.
Released in September 2009, it was also used as the theme song for Ezaki Glico’s Pocky commercial, resonating with many people.
In the music video, the band’s sudden “crash” into a middle school culture festival leaves a strong impression.
The lyrics carry a message of “Let’s have as much fun as we can!”—perfect for anyone feeling worn out by daily life.
Why not move your body to this song? It’s sure to lighten both your mind and body!
Effeminate; overly sentimental; being clingy/whiny (context-dependent)Gōruden Bonbā
This is more on the playful, crowd-pleasing side, but since it’s just things like jumping while waving your hand or doing simple steps, none of the dances are particularly difficult, so I think even people who aren’t good at dancing can do them.
Beat de TouhiHama iku
This is Hamaiku’s debut track, known for its catchy beat and bright melody.
The lyrics, which express a desire to escape from reality, resonate with listeners.
It was digitally released in November 2022 and generated a huge response on social media.
The two, who serve as MCs for NHK’s music program “Venue101,” made their first public appearance as a dance-vocal duo.
Dance videos on TikTok went viral, with many people enjoying dancing along with friends and family.
It’s the perfect song for a change of pace or to hype up a party.
Happy Summer WeddingMōningu Musume.
If you’re from the Morning Musume generation, you’ll definitely know this number.
As the title suggests, it’s perfect for a wedding dance.
It’s recommended for those who think AKB48 is too cliché.
You can have fun by wearing red costumes and doing a dance with impact.
One Night CarnivalKishidan
Despite its simple, easy-to-remember choreography, it’s a cool number.
I think many people know this song, so it’s sure to get everyone hyped.
There’s even a helpful video of the choreography available, so it should be easy to practice.
