Winter Dance Music: A curated selection of irresistible, dance-inducing hits! (31–40)

Because it’s a cold nightTRF

TRF is a male-female dance and vocal group that, under the production of Tetsuya Komuro in the 1990s, released numerous massive hits that left their mark on J-POP history.

This track is a perfect dance number for the winter season.

Released as a single in 1993, it became TRF’s first entry into the Oricon Top 10.

Its danceable beat, bouncy piano riff, and unexpectedly hard-edged guitar tone create a great accent, while YUKI’s heartrendingly beautiful vocals are truly moving.

Just as the title suggests, let’s heat up body and soul with an emotional dance that blows away the “cold night”!

A heartwarming song that wraps the harsh chill of winter in love.

It’s the 10th single by Sandaime J SOUL BROTHERS from EXILE TRIBE, released in October 2013, and it was also used as the ending theme for Nippon TV’s “PON!”.

The world crafted by its beautiful melody and moving lyrics is perfect for the cold season.

Member ELLY handled the choreography solo for the first time, reportedly completing it after days of trial and error.

The choreography, tailored to the wintery ballad, looks cool and makes you want to copy it!

Give it a listen and your body will start moving naturally—perfect for adding sparkle to Valentine’s Day or fun times with friends.

With this track, why not make the cold winter a little more joyful?

Pierrot of the NightAdo

Ado’s “Yoru no Piero,” used as the opening theme for the TV drama “One Hour Until the First Time,” was released in 2021.

The lyrics, composition, and arrangement were by biz.

It is the fifth single by Ado, a Japanese musician who debuted in 2002.

The synth-laden sound, mid-tempo pace, and lyrics with a distinctive worldview depict the loneliness of a protagonist living in the modern age.

With her expressive voice—free in pitch and tone—Ado delivers a performance that perfectly suits a crisp winter cityscape in “Yoru no Piero.” It’s a number ideal for the winter season.

This song is filled with a passion hot enough to blow away the winter cold.

Ayumu Imazu’s vocals brilliantly capture the exhilaration of falling in love and a powerful sense of attachment to the other person.

The lyrics convey the inner conflict of a protagonist drowning in love.

Released in January 2024, this work reveals a new side of Imazu.

It’s also highly appealing as dance music, and if you listen to it on a cold winter night, it’s sure to warm both your body and your heart.

It’s a recommended track not only for those troubled by love, but also for anyone who loves to dance.

Ayumu Imazu, who is active in both Japan and the United States, is an artist expected to be the next big breakthrough.

A song of his that we especially recommend for winter is the 2021 digital single “Fuyūmu.” The acoustic guitar at the beginning evokes a hint of Latin flair.

With its minor-key sound that conveys both melancholy and passion, paired with a Latin-inspired dance beat that makes your hips start moving before you know it, it’s sure to warm you up!

What I want you to listen to on a cold winter day is “Butter” by BTS, the globally acclaimed Korean male hip-hop group.

Released as a digital single in May 2021, the track became a massive hit worldwide.

There are many remix versions of “Butter,” and among them, the “Hotter Remix” is my top recommendation for winter.

Its sound shifts from the original’s summery, happy vibe to something a bit darker and more mature, making it a perfect match for the chilly winter atmosphere!
