Among Japanese artists, Kenshi Yonezu might be a great choice for stylish danceable tracks at parties.
He mainly produces rock tunes and they’re all really cool, so I think they can really liven up the atmosphere as background music for performances or events.
“LOSER” is exactly that kind of song—it’s the perfect track to add a cool edge to parties and entertainment segments.

The lyrics, which portray the beginning of love and its frustrating hesitations between a man and a woman, perfectly match the thrill of the moment and heighten the excitement.
Lose yourself in this sweet, mellow track woven from the beautifully distinctive vocals of lol’s members and sanari’s captivating rap.
HEART BEATKato Miria
This track was specially written as the campaign song for Coca-Cola’s London 2012 Olympics.
To capture the beat created by athletes in sports like track and field, boxing, table tennis, and archery, sounds from the actual equipment they use were sampled and woven into the music.
Along with a sense of speed, the sound incorporates dance music elements that elevate the energy.
It adds freshness and dynamism to any party and is sure to boost the atmosphere even more.

R.Y.U.S.E.I.Sandaime Jē Sōru Burazāzu fromu Eguzairu Toraibu
The choreography that made the nationally beloved group Sandaime J Soul Brothers even more popular, the “Running Man.” Even people who don’t know much about EXILE probably recognize this song and the Running Man.

GOFLOW
From the hard-hitting intro, the energy shoots up, everyone shouts “Bang!” during the rap, and before you know it, it’s at its peak.
It’s a song that keeps the hype going from start to finish.
