It’s a track from her album Ruby, released in March 2025, that blends hip-hop with dance-pop to create an energetic vibe.
The powerful rap and catchy beat are perfect for dance clips on social media, and the easy-to-mimic choreography is a big reason for its popularity.
Even among the album’s star-studded collaborations, including artists like Dua Lipa, this track stands out as a staple for dance videos.

Set in a dreamlike world, it depicts a festive scene that gradually draws the central protagonist into a liberating atmosphere, powerfully captivating listeners.
Topping the Billboard JAPAN charts and earning strong support especially among younger audiences, the work reminds us of the importance of living authentically without being confined by molds.
It’s also a great song for a change of mood and has been gaining attention through “singing cover” posts on social media.

This is a song by Suisei Hoshimachi that portrays the feelings of young people living in modern society, inspired by the fairy tale Cinderella.

@mori_kasumi_ I finally got to dance!#fyp
♬ Karikeiyaku No Cinderella – Shiritsu Ebisu Chugaku
Released in May 2012 as their major-label debut, this is a poppy, high-energy dance tune.
It’s packed with Ebisu Private Junior High School’s signature charms: bright, youthful vocals and a school-event-inspired musical motif.
The song likens idol activities to a “temporary contract,” expressing the determination to give everything within a limited time, set to a light, breezy melody.
Despite being their debut, it reached No.
7 on the Oricon Weekly Chart, signaling the momentum of a rising new act.
On TikTok, a sped-up version has been used for “introduce-your-fave” videos, earning support from a new generation.
It’s a perfect track for those wanting to start dancing or who love catchy pop tunes.
Pig Thunder (feat. Kaai Yuki)Yukopi
Vocaloid producer Yukopi shook the Vocaloid scene.
Known as an exceptionally original creator, their music is surreal and inorganic, yet somehow irresistibly cute—a uniquely intriguing style.
Among Yukopi’s tracks, the one I especially recommend is “Buta Thunder (feat.
Kaai Yuki).” This piece particularly shines with its cuteness and has been covered by many singers and VTubers.
If your friend’s oshi performs it, the crowd will go wild.
