Otherworldly Mixed Grand Ball (feat. Ghost)Hoshino Gen
@nodapiiihouse Halloween is coming soon 🎃 I tried filming a longer-than-usual video with my kid!Halloween#A ghost will appear#Isekai Mixed Grand BallHoshino GenThe Noda P House 2
♪ Original Song – Nodapiii House 2 — Nodapiii House 2 — Nodapiii House 2nd
This is a song by Gen Hoshino written as the theme for the film “Ghost Book: Obake Zukan,” which is based on the popular children’s story series Obake Zukan.
It’s delightful how the playful world brings together ghosts and humans—beings that wouldn’t normally meet—to dance together.
In the lyrics, too, we’re invited to a mysterious ball where the afterlife and this world intermingle, vividly capturing the original work’s blend of fear and humor.
When the movie was released in July 2022, the chorus’s unique “Ghost Dance” went viral on TikTok, inspiring many dance videos.
Put on your Halloween costumes and have the whole family become cute little ghosts and dance along.
Even those who aren’t confident dancers are sure to enjoy it!

♬ Go Go Ghost Ship – Manager
It’s a song by Kenshi Yonezu, the hitmaker behind numerous popular tracks, that you’ll want to play during the Halloween season! It’s an early work from when he shifted from releasing music under the name “Hachi” to using his real name in earnest, and its pop yet slightly warped, experimental sound is incredibly addictive.
The lyrics liken the lonely feeling of not fitting into society to a “ghost,” creating a mysterious atmosphere.
The track is included on Diorama, a seminal album from his indie era released in May 2012.
For many listeners, this was the song that got them hitting repeat.
Its distinctive sense of speed and eerie mood are a perfect match for Halloween TikTok videos featuring costumes and makeup!

♬ Ghostbusters (from the “Ghostbusters” Original Motion Picture Soundtrack) – Ray Parker Jr.
The smash hit that adds vibrant color to the world of the film Ghostbusters is drawing attention as a perfect dance number for the Halloween season.
Released in 1984, this track made big waves as the theme song for the film of the same name.
Its catchy melody and lyrics about busting ghosts pair perfectly with Halloween parties and costume videos on TikTok.
Set to Ray Parker Jr.’s breezy vocals, let’s all get the party going!
Streideachiitana
Mysterious songs go perfectly with Halloween, don’t they? With that in mind, I’d like to introduce “STRAIDEA.” This track was created by Chiitana using the VOCALOID voices IA and ONE.
The first half has a gothic vibe, setting a melody that portrays a woman utterly absorbed in love.
Then, in the second half, the music grows more intense and shifts into a rap style.
That dramatic change in mood is part of its charm.
Also, pay attention to the lyrics, which evoke classic Halloween monsters.

@negibow_127.8969.4649 First event participation!! @CHAKA IkeHaro 29HalloweenFrom today, I will...Yokohama Ginbae 40thTranslation#haloween
'Delinquent High School Rock ’n’ Roll (Going to School Edition)' – Yokohama Ginbae 40th
A refreshing song that vividly depicts tsuppari (delinquent) youth culture! Released in January 1981 by Yokohama Ginbae, it’s a humorous and catchy track that reflects the youth culture of its time.
In 2020, it was also used as the ending theme for the film Today’s Kimi wa!! The Movie (Kyo Kara Ore wa!! Gekijoban).
The lyrics portray the everyday lives of protagonists with pompadours and long school coats—rebellious, yet irresistibly charming.
It’s a great fit for cosplay with a school uniform (gakuran)!

The most supremely cute! – Cho Tokimeki♡Sendenbu
This song portrays a girl who turns heartbreak into motivation and moves forward.
It’s included on Super Tokimeki♡Sendenbu’s album “Tokimeku Koi to Seishun,” released in January 2024.
Singer-songwriter Koresawa wrote and composed the track.
It became a huge hit on TikTok, surpassing 1 billion total views and ranking high on various music charts.
The song empathizes with those who have experienced heartbreak and inspires personal transformation.
It’s also a great pick for karaoke.

How about enjoying Halloween with a playful, poppy tune? This track, featuring VOCALOID’s Kagamine Len, was released in 2012.
Lettuce-P composed the music, with lyrics by △○□×, and Giga and Orebanana-P also joined in for arrangement and more.
Its brisk rhythm and surreal lyrics are distinctive, and just listening is enough to bring a smile to your face.
Wouldn’t it be fun to film a dance to this song and post it on social media? It’s the perfect track for anyone who wants to amp up the energy at a Halloween party.
In conclusion
We’ve introduced songs that are perfect for the Halloween season.
From remixes of Western hits to idol tracks, a wide range of songs are drawing attention.
Speaking of Halloween, its appeal lies partly in the eerie, nighttime vibe it evokes.
We also recommend filming videos to match danceable tracks that, despite their dark atmosphere, will get your body moving.
Use them as inspiration for costumes and makeup, or put them to work when creating a Halloween-themed playlist.
