[J-Pop] Cool dance tracks. Dance music everyone can groove to (131–140)
ice creamRude-α
With its adorable title that makes you excited to hear what kind of song it is, this track is a light, upbeat dance number—be sure to check out the music video where he dances himself.
With his sweet looks and solid skills, he’s a young rapper popular with both men and women.
Rude-α gained attention after appearing on the popular romance reality show “Don’t Be Fooled by the Wolf-chan” broadcast on AbemaTV for teens and people in their 20s.
This song is entirely produced by him, which makes it irresistible for fans!
Orange MugWONK
Even when we say “dance music,” you don’t always want only hard, head-banging tracks—you also want songs that let you move your body at a relaxed pace.
If you’re looking for that kind of tune, I recommend WONK’s “Orange Mug.” It uses a boom-bap style beat reminiscent of overseas R&B and ’90s hip-hop, and just listening to it makes you want to move.
GET STUPIDXY
How about an energetic, upbeat dance number? It’s a track by the 13-member boy band XY, released as a digital single in June 2024.
It was produced by rock legend YOSHIKI.
The repeated chorus and punchy rhythm leave a strong impression.
Its cool vocals and positive message really resonate.
They performed it at France’s Japan Expo, which drew a lot of attention.
It’s the perfect song for anyone looking to light up the dance floor.
My Resort¥ellow bucks
This track blends trap beats with R&B elements, evoking a relaxed, resort-like atmosphere.
¥ellow Bucks’s deep voice and laid-back flow usher listeners into a comfortable space.
Included on the album “Jungle 2,” released in September 2024, it was created as a sequel to the previous work “My Resort.” On TikTok, it became popular to post dance videos with original choreography.
The song depicts stepping away from everyday noise to enjoy your own personal “resort,” making it a recommended listen for anyone who wants to cherish their individuality.
Brainwashing feat. DOGMA & Chinza DOPENESS (Prod. Chaki Zulu)Awich
With the addition of maestros DOGMA and Chinza DOPENESS, the worldbuilding has deepened considerably.
The eerie allure of the rapping is just so cool, and the expressive power that melts into this soundscape feels distinctly different from previous Japanese rap tracks.
It’s a song where you’ll want to pay close attention to their techniques.
Chaki Zulu—the charismatic creator who’s practically her exclusive producer—delivers work here that only he could: a sound production uniquely his own.
A MuseZIN & 906 / Nine-O-Six
Nine-O-Six, strongly endorsed by Charisma and Daki.
Their modern, chill beats feel so good.
I want them to blow up, but I also want them to stay my own secret artist! You can almost hear the voices of long-time fans saying that.
Their soft vibe transcends the usual hip-hop framework, with a touch of the ’90s in there too.
For people of that generation, it feels nostalgic.
Am I the only one who hears a hint of Hanaregumi in their touch? If you like that kind of sound, this is definitely recommended!
MonsterLIL LEAGUE from EXILE TRIBE
Monster by LIL LEAGUE, a six-member dance and vocal group from LDH.
Released in July 2023 as the second double A-side single Higher / Monster, the track was also chosen as the theme song for the drama The Demon King of Job Change starring Ryo Narita.
The lyrics and melody subtly evoke a sense of darkness that ties in with the drama’s title and draw you in.
Beyond their vocals, LIL LEAGUE’s dancing is a major attraction—the choreography in the music video is insanely cool, so be sure to check it out as well.
