♪ Are you a zombie too? You are a zombie – 1st chorus ver. – 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.
Its cute lyrics playfully invite listeners—like recruiting more friends—with lines that say, “Let’s have fun together!” It was pre-released on TikTok, where dance videos featuring choreography paired with Halloween costumes gained popularity.
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
@nekopapa08 IDOLHOUSE group Halloween stream 🎃 Rein-yan and Sanapyon’s dance: “Youkai Taiso Daiichi” (Youkai Exercise No. 1)#IDOLHOUSERei MukaiyamaAyase Sana
♬ Original Song – NekoPapa 🍁🌙 – NekoPapa 🍁🌙
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
@oshima_ @sakurao1 | YorushikaMr./Ms. [name]’s “Howl at the MoonTransform with “”! Since my brother and I didn’t really transform together much, it felt really fresh ( ඉ́ .̫ ඉ̀ )✨ Everyone, you should try transforming too~#tiktokHalloween#Halloween#pr
Howl at the Moon – Shun (Oshima Siblings)
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.

@minami.0819 Retro jiangshi ❤︎❤︎ How is it‼️ What costumes are you all wearing this year?#FAKETYPE#nmp2020sHalloween#pr
♬ Nightmare Parade 2020s – FAKE TYPE.
A perfect work for the Halloween season by FAKE TYPE.
It was released as a lead single from the October 2022 album “FAKE SWING.” The track blends lyrics that satirize modern society’s surveillance culture with an electro-swing sound.
Its innovative musicality, incorporating elements from various genres, is especially appealing.
It works great as a track for videos, and it’s also recommended for anyone looking to liven up a Halloween party.
dumb dumbmazie
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.

♬ suara asli – Japan Song Lyrics – Japan Song Lyrics
When it comes to a mysterious song that colors Halloween night, many people might think of this number by the beloved national idol group, Arashi.
It sings of a bittersweet yet intense love—the desire to protect one irreplaceable person, even if you yourself were to turn into something frightening.
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.
It’s also perfect for dance videos that capture its world with gothic costumes and makeup.
Be sure to check out this cool, dramatic number.

Strawberry Halloween Night 2024 Ver. – STPR
Strawberry Prince (SutoPuri) is an entertainment unit that enjoys immense popularity, especially on YouTube and TwitCasting.
They even made their first appearance on the NHK Kouhaku Uta Gassen in 2023, so many of you may already know them.
Among their works is a number that’s perfect for Halloween.
This pop tune depicts a sweet yet slightly dark party thrown by princes from the Strawberry Kingdom.
Just listening to it makes you feel as if you’ve been invited to a dreamy one-night showtime.
This track is a rearrangement of a 2018 song, and a brand-new music video was released in October 2024.
Its cute yet mysterious vibe is perfect for Halloween costume videos.
The catchy melody is also great for dance, so be sure to check it out.
