Here’s a staple track for anime dance videos that’s been trending on TikTok.

Sung by QUEENDOM, this irresistibly catchy number incorporates Hungarian-sounding “misheard” lyrics.

Dance clips set to its energetic beat have become a massive hit on social media.

Released in May 2022, the song topped the iTunes anime song charts.

It was also used as the opening theme for the TV anime Ya Boy Kongming! and appeared in a drama aired in November 2023.

The lyrics, which capture the exhilaration of a party and the joy of the night, give listeners a boost of positive energy.

Oshi no Ko is an anime attracting worldwide attention.

Its in-song track “Piman Taisō” (Green Pepper Exercise) is also widely used for anime dance videos.

In the story, it’s a song that the popular character Kana Arima sang during her child-actor days, so the vocals have a slightly youthful feel and the choreography is simple and cute.

That simplicity makes it easy to imitate, which may be one reason for its popularity.

Incidentally, videos on TikTok that even recreate the green-colored costume are trending.

If you’re planning to give it a try, use those as a reference.

Loved for its bouncy, hopping animation, “SugarCrash!” is also known for topping TikTok’s Hot Songs Weekly ranking.

The track is by Elliott, a new-generation artist from Canada.

While the sound is upbeat and lively, the lyrics depict a man who has lost his sense of purpose.

However, by the end of the song, he finds his answer and becomes more positive.

il vento d’oro

I’d like to introduce “il vento d’oro,” an insert song from the anime JoJo’s Bizarre Adventure: Golden Wind.

It’s a fan favorite, known for playing during the anime’s most exciting moments and for being used across other series as well.

Composed by Yugo Kanno, it features a rich, jazz-influenced sound built around saxophone, piano, and guitar.

The track builds toward the latter half, so using that section in a video will add even more impact.
