It also goes over well at karaoke with older supervisors.
Adding a few simple moves to match “Touch” can boost the energy even more.
The big showcase is the sustained note at the end of the chorus, so be sure to belt it out.
Dancing Hero (Eat You Up)Oginome Yōko
The song “Dancing Hero,” which became a hot topic in 2017 when the Tomioka High School dance team performed their ‘Bubble Era Dance,’ was originally released by Yoko Oginome in 1985.
Since 2017, the boom has reignited, and it’s a track widely known across generations, so it’s a sure bet.
You might feel that disco songs are difficult, but the tempo isn’t particularly fast, so you can sing it comfortably.

Thanks to its generally low key, it’s easy to sing and a perfect pick for women in their 40s who likely spent their youth in the 1990s.
