[In Their 90s] Get Moving with Fun! Dance Tracks & Exercise Songs (21–30)
DynamiteBTS
This is a smash hit by BTS that always gets featured in the “Comedians Who Don’t Want to Dance” episode of the hugely popular variety show Ame Talk! Start by watching that episode to get in a cheerful mood, then get your body moving.
Of course, since it’s such a popular song, it’s also perfect for performances at senior clubs or Respect-for-the-Aged events.
Feel free to directly borrow parts where you can imitate BTS—like the signature poses—and customize the tougher sections to fit what you can dance.
It’s a song that lifts your spirits, so it’s also recommended for your regular workouts.
Sazae-san
An indispensable presence in the manga life of Machiko Hasegawa, the creator of Sazae-san, was her mother.
When Machiko said she wanted to become a disciple of Suihō Tagawa, the original author of Norakuro, it was her mother who offered no objections and worked tirelessly to help; and when her manga didn’t sell, it was her mother who encouraged and supported her.
I truly feel this is what unconditional love means.
Dancing to the Sazae-san theme song also sounds like fun.
It’s nice that it’s a tune everyone knows.
Since it has a lively tempo, creating our own original choreography would be enjoyable too!

Dance program effective for feet and jointsSAM
Are you familiar with the DVD that teaches a dance called “Easy Do Dancercise”? Rumor has it that among TRF’s DVDs, this one is their best seller.
So, let’s try moving our bodies using videos of SAM—who is a member of TRF—as a reference! With TRF’s songs, the parts you can train vary by track: “EZ DO DANCE” focuses on strengthening the upper body, like the chest and back, while “survival dAnce ~no no cry more~” works the waist and lower abdomen.
It’s great that you can tailor it to the areas you’re concerned about—like, “If you’re worried about your legs or joints…”—so you can match it to your needs.
Festival MamboHibari Misora
Mambo—a genre that many Japanese first became aware of thanks to Hibari Misora’s “Omatsuri Mambo.” You can probably picture the jokesters who shout “Uu—Mambo!” when they’re in high spirits.
It’s said that mambo emerged in the 1900s from a fusion of rumba and jazz.
Hearing “the 1900s,” it still feels like a relatively new musical genre, doesn’t it? Just the famous intro of “Omatsuri Mambo”—that tsuttaka-tsuttakattakata rhythm—will get your body moving.
It’s a fun, highly recommended song: you can learn some simple mambo steps, or just imitate Hibari Misora’s moves.
