His 2016 release “Koi” was used as the theme song for the TBS TV drama “We Married as a Job!” in which he himself appeared.
The “Koi Dance” featured in the music video became a hot topic as a simple and fun dance that people of any generation can easily do.
It’s of course recommended for elementary school students as well, and you don’t need any specialized dance knowledge.
One of the best points is that just practicing while watching the music video or choreography videos on YouTube can help you naturally pick up the moves!

YOASOBI is a unique unit that turns novels into songs, and their smash hit Yoru ni Kakeru is a standout.
As YOASOBI’s debut track, it topped Spotify’s Viral Chart and became a hugely popular song.

Created by the producer unit HoneyWorks in collaboration with vocalist Kapi, it was released in 2022.
It’s an image song for Chu-tan, a character who appears in works like the anime “Heroines Run the Show: The Unpopular Girl and the Secret Job.” The lyrics, which flaunt high levels of girly charm, are cunningly adorable.
It might shine even more when danced in an outfit that sways dramatically with movement.
Take a pictureNiziU
NiziU’s “Take a picture” is so fun that just listening to it makes you want to move your body.
Released in 2021 as a double A-side single together with “Poppin’ Shakin’,” the song drew attention for its “Number Dance,” which expresses the numbers that appear in the lyrics through dance.
Instead of simply making numbers with the hands, the choreography features movements that trace the numbers in the air, which is a distinctive touch.
It’s cool how these moves are woven into the choreography, right? When the shutter sound comes in, dance as if someone’s actually taking your photo—strike a sharper pose and really nail it!
DynamiteBTS
BTS, originating from Korea and now a global phenomenon, needs no introduction.
Their song “Dynamite” set a new YouTube record with 101.1 million views in 24 hours.
It was such a heavy-rotation tune that there wasn’t a day you didn’t hear it—on TV, out in the city—so of course every elementary schooler must know it! The selling point is that “everyone’s heard it.” There’s no need to learn the song from scratch, and if it’s a familiar track, it’s easier to catch the rhythm.
There are plenty of dance videos arranged for elementary school kids, making this the go-to choice if you’re unsure.
