[Get Hyped] Fun Japanese dance tracks — a joyful dance special

INTERNET OVERDOSEAiobahn feat. KOTOKO

[University of Tokyo Student(s)] Danced to INTERNET OVERDOSE

The video game NEEDY GIRL OVERDOSE is themed around a “menhera-style” girl.

Its theme song is INTERNET OVERDOSE.

It’s sung by KOTOKO and has a musical-like feel that incorporates spoken lines.

The choreography is similar to para para, so if you’re into that style, give it a try.

The music video features animated characters dancing, so it might be easier to get a feel for it by checking out other dance cover videos as references.

DA PUMP / P.A.R.T.Y. ~Universe Festival~ Short version

This is DA PUMP’s 2019 dance tune, released on August 7, 2019.

Will it become a massive hit following 2018’s “U.

S.

A.”? The “Baeen Dance,” a choreography featuring small, rhythmic shakes, has been getting attention, but beyond that, it’s a dance number tailored to Japanese tastes, with elements like formations reminiscent of kabuki, steps evocative of the Tobiroppō exit, and an intro that feels like an homage to Hibari Misora’s “Omatsuri Mambo.”

The “TT pose,” where both hands are shaped like the letter T to match the lyric “TT” sung in the chorus, became a hot topic.

It’s a song about the sadness of not being able to act smoothly in front of someone you like.

It’s an intriguing track that blends 1980s-style retro vibes with a contemporary city pop feel.
