Pien doesn't suit you.EXIT×Sukaipiisu

The smash-hit comedy duo EXIT and the popular YouTuber duo Sky Peace teamed up for the collab track “Pien Doesn’t Suit You.” It’s a friendly, relatable graduation song that uses the slang word “pien,” which has really taken root among young people.

The lyrics are full of EXIT-style flashy youth slang, too.

There are parts that will make you chuckle, but the feelings about graduation packed into the song are something any graduate can relate to.

It’s a highly recommended track that’ll have you laughing and crying.

Ojamajo Carnival!!MAHO dō

[Cosmic!!] I Tried Dancing to “Ojamajo Carnival!!” [Original Choreography]
Ojamajo Carnival!!MAHO dō

This is the first opening theme of the anime Ojamajo Doremi.

It’s a lively, fun song with a charming magical chant that has a light, airy sound.

Since there isn’t a set dance, try creating your own original choreography.

We recommend bold, dynamic movements that capture the bustling atmosphere, and keeping a cheerful expression throughout the performance.

Even with simple choreography, if you synchronize your movements to convey unity and camaraderie, it can make the fun stand out even more.

The opening theme of the anime “Ya Boy Kongming!” is a track by QUEENDOM, a unit made up of various vocalists.

It’s a Japanese cover of Hungarian singer Jolly’s song “Bulikirály,” and a key point is that it incorporates elements of mondegreen-style misheard lyrics.

While the rhythm is relaxed, the sound conveys a lively atmosphere that seems to gradually amplify the fun.

The uniquely laid-back choreography showcased in the music video and elsewhere is also striking, so keep that dance in mind and gently build up the vibe of the scene.

As the title suggests, this song is themed around someone who shook their head too much at a live show.

When you perform it at a thank-you party, make sure to dance along during the chorus where you keep repeating that your neck hurts.

It’ll be even funnier if you can show the lyrics, too.

If you can hype the crowd enough that everyone in the venue joins in and does the “it hurts” pose, that’s a big success!

Sakanaction occupies a truly unique position in Japan’s rock band scene.

Their songs may be quirky and unconventional, yet the more you listen, the catchier they become and the more they grab your heart—that’s their charm.

This track has that signature appeal, of course, and its retro-tinged music video—often said to be a homage to The Drifters—is also popular and buzzing online.

If you perform a dance to this song as BGM, dressed in the 80s-style hair and outfits featured in the MV, it’s sure to get everyone hyped!
