[Idol] YOASOBI 'Flag × Pom-pom × Easy Dance' — Theme song of Oshi no Ko — A dance you can do at sports festivals and performances! Second installment of the easy arranged dance!

YOASOBI’s song, released in April 2023 as the theme for the anime “Oshi no Ko,” is highly recommended as a perfect dance track for elementary school sports festivals.

Featuring lyrics that portray the inner conflicts behind an idol’s life and an up-tempo track, the song has become a major topic of conversation, especially among younger generations.

The duo of Ayase and ikura is known for creating songs based on novels, characterized by literary themes and rich storytelling.

With its rhythmic, easy-to-learn choreography, I think it’s also perfect for a flag dance at a sports day.
