Silhouettes (Syn Cole Creamfields Remix)Avicii
There are many popular DJs in the EDM scene, but perhaps the most famous in Japan is Avicii, the Swedish DJ who made his long-awaited first visit to Japan last year.
This is a track I want you to listen to with the feeling that you can just keep on running.
7/11Beyoncé
In this music video with a girls’ night theme, Beyoncé and her backup dancers keep dancing straight to a private camera, which is fun and a highlight.
It’s perfect for girls who want to enjoy running and push themselves together with friends.
Every Little StepBobby Brown
Here’s a recommended track from the new jack swing era.
The rhythm is cool, and Bobby Brown’s androgynous voice matches the song perfectly.
It has a strong dance element, but it’s also great for exercise, so it’s easy to sync your running pace to it.
