J.O.K.E.R.MAZZEL
A track with an unpredictable, freewheeling allure—like the Joker in a deck of cards.
Released by MAZZEL in February 2025, the song fuses lyrics by SKY-HI themed around trump cards and high-stakes battles with cool production from Sydney-based Taka Perry.
The inventive choreography by KAITA, leader of the buzzworthy dance crew Rht.
, sparked the #JOKERChallenge across social media.
Chosen as the official theme song for Tokyu Fudosan Holdings Breaking World Match 2025, it also set the stage at the February 22 event at J:COM Kitakyushu Performing Arts Center, where special supporters MAZZEL delivered a dazzling performance.
A spirited work recommended for those passionate about street dance and anyone gearing up for a new challenge.
Would You Like One?Travis Japan
It’s a pop tune with catchy, light beats and a funky rhythm.
Performed by Travis Japan, this track was produced as the theme song for the film “Tabekko Doubutsu THE MOVIE.” The lively groove pairs perfectly with the bursting, upbeat melody line.
While harmonizing beautifully with the movie’s world, it also brings out each member’s individuality to the fullest.
I think it’s perfect for a weekend drive or a fun, lively time with friends.
Tattayuzu
An up-tempo number designated as the 2017 theme song for “Mecha-Mecha Iketeru!”, performed while dancing and playing along to the rhythm with tambourines.
The Tatta Dance has been collaborated on and covered by many people, earning its place as a guaranteed crowd-pleaser.
GravityThe fin.
A song by The fin.
, a band that left Japan and continues to raise their profile overseas.
Their vocals, which make frequent use of falsetto—a hallmark of their sound—resonate comfortably over synths and reverb-drenched guitars.
The beat is a simple eight-beat, yet the groove-rich sound is truly world-class!
Go in Blind (Moon Wolf)&TEAM
An epic dance track that sends chills with its powerful guitar riffs and exhilarating performance.
Released in April 2025 as the 3rd single from &TEAM, the global boy group proudly presented by HYBE LABELS JAPAN.
Crafted by a team of top-tier producers, this song blends a variety of musical genres into a border-crossing anthem.
Be sure to listen, paying special attention to its empowering message that boosts self-esteem.
Inspector PepperPink Lady
This is a song by Pink Lady, the idol duo who rocketed to stardom with catchy melodies, then-rare sexy costumes, and choreography set to a fast tempo.
They were so popular that when a member said, “Oolong tea is the secret to good health,” oolong tea vanished from store shelves.
DANCE WITH ME NOW!E-Girls
This song features high-level choreography like what you’d learn at a dance school.
There are lots of choreography videos available, so I think the dance is easy to learn.
In unison dance, when everyone’s movements are perfectly synchronized, it looks really cool and gets the crowd excited.
