TorikoNissy(Nishijima Takahiro)
Released on September 30, 2018, it’s the theme song for the film “Ano Ko no, Toriko.” The song itself has a slightly nostalgic melody and is a straightforward love song that’s very soothing.
There’s also a very easy-to-dance, cute choreography called the Toriko Dance, so be sure to learn it—doing it as a couple, of course, or trying it with friends as entertainment will really liven up the atmosphere.
survival dAnce ～no no cry more～TRF
This is a well-known classic—needless to say—the first song by TRF to achieve a million sales.
From the intro it has easy call-and-response parts, and it stays exciting from start to finish.
I think even people from different generations can get into it thanks to the repeated phrases.
FLY AGAINMAN WITH A MISSION
FLY AGAIN is the song that gets the biggest crowd reaction at MAN WITH A MISSION’s live shows and festival appearances.
You can just picture the whole venue becoming one, everyone thrusting their hands up to the right and left and having a blast! This track that creates such a sense of unity is also perfect for parties.
From the intro that makes you want to start dancing, it instantly cranks up the voltage of any party venue.
Even people who don’t know the song can grasp the vibe after just one listen, making it a track you can use in all kinds of situations!
LOVE MachineMōningu Musume.
A song that could be called the last million-selling hit of the ’90s.
It’s a signature track by Morning Musume, who sparked a massive boom.
Its standout feature is the super catchy chorus—anyone can sing along to parts like “yeah! yeah!”, making it a perfect pick for entertainment or party performances.
Tokyo Shandy Rendezvous feat. KAF, TsumikiMAISONdes
This song was chosen as the ending theme for the Showa-era hit anime Urusei Yatsura, which was revived in the Reiwa era.
The vocalist is KAF, a virtual singer who’s drawing attention and a resident of MAISONdes, a fictional six-tatami apartment where young artists create miraculous collaborations.
The lyrics and composition are by Tsumiki.
The lyrics, packed with the heroine’s mischievous charm, are a perfect match for the vocals that blend cuteness with sexiness.
If you dress up a bit to match the anime and try singing it, it might really amp up the fun!

A singer with overwhelming individuality and expressive power who made a striking debut and is now attracting attention both in Japan and abroad, Ado.
Her 18th digital-only single, “Show,” was released as a collaboration track for Universal Studios Japan’s Halloween event, “Halloween Horror Nights.” Her aggressive vocals over a hysterical ensemble are perfect for boosting the energy at performances and showcases.
It’s a recommended pop tune that will liven up any party when everyone sings and dances together.
No doubtOfisharu Higedan Dism
With its light, lively piano intro that makes you want to start dancing, “No Doubt” is the perfect track to kick off a party.
