Are you a zombie too? You’re a zombie, huh.CANDY TUNE
CANDY TUNE, born from the project “KAWAII LAB.” that promotes idol culture worldwide, released their first Halloween song in October 2024.
The track was selected as the opening theme for TV Asahi’s music program “music-ru TV” for November.
While themed around zombies, the song is a pop tune that emphasizes festive fun over fear.

The gothic-yet-kawaii vibe of the music video is also a highlight, making this the perfect number to boost any party mood.
Yo-kai Exercise No. 1Dream5
Speaking of Halloween, you think of ghosts—and when you think of ghosts, you think of yokai! This is the song that was used as the first ending theme for the anime Yokai Watch and became a social phenomenon.
Its lyrics comically blame everyday mishaps—like being sleepy in the morning or forgetting things—on cheeky yokai, a worldview that absolutely captivated children.
The track was released in April 2014 as Dream5’s 12th single, Break Out / Yo-kai Taiso Daiichi.
It was so popular it even received the Special Award at that year’s Japan Record Awards.
It’s more of an “exercise routine” than a dance, really (lol).
The moves are super simple and fun, making it perfect for dancing on TikTok in your Halloween costume.
It’s a guaranteed hit at parties with kids!
Howl at the MoonYorushika
This is Yorushika’s 10th digital-only single, created with a poetry collection by Sakutaro Hagiwara—known as the “father of modern Japanese poetry”—as its motif.
The funky beat and groovy bassline create a striking soundscape that perfectly complements Suis’s cool, dynamic vocals.
The song portrays the struggle of confronting one’s inner shadows, such as primal instincts and impulses.
Released in October 2021, it captivates with its literary worldview.
Its somewhat mysterious, mature atmosphere makes it a perfect match for slightly dark Halloween costumes like werewolves or vampires.
It’s also a great pick when you want to film a stylish dance video.
Nightmare Parade 2020sFAKE TYPE.
A perfect work for the Halloween season by FAKE TYPE.

I also recommend “dumb dumb,” which is blowing up on TikTok.
It’s a track released in 2022 by American singer Mae Stephens—actually, the version that’s currently trending is the sped-up “dumb dumb – sped up.” While the original has a slow, cozy vibe, the sped-up version feels more danceable and cute.
It’s a song that pairs well with all kinds of videos, so definitely give it a try.

Its beautiful, slightly wistful melody line heightens the romantic and thrilling atmosphere.
Released in May 2010 as their 30th single, the track became a major talking point as the theme song for the drama Kaibutsu-kun, starring group member Satoshi Ohno.
