Dance clips set to its energetic beat have become a massive hit on social media.

Released in May 2022, the song topped the iTunes anime song charts.

It was also used as the opening theme for the TV anime Ya Boy Kongming! and appeared in a drama aired in November 2023.

The lyrics, which capture the exhilaration of a party and the joy of the night, give listeners a boost of positive energy.

Among the songs used for anime dances, one of the most widely known is “Toca Toca.” It’s a track released by the Romanian dance group Fly Project.

Later, a video combining it with anime footage was created in Japan and went massively viral, and before long it started being used frequently on TikTok as well.

Its biggest appeal is the catchy chorus that repeats the title phrase.

It’s highly addictive—you can remember it after just one listen and get hyped along with it.

Catch Me, Tonight. (Chorus ver.) – Leon Niihama

The opening theme of the anime “Detective Conan: The Culprit Hanzawa,” “Catch Me Tonight,” is really popular too.

It’s sung by Reon Niihama, a new-generation enka singer.

While it has the weight of traditional enka, it also incorporates elements of kayōkyoku, making it approachable even for those who aren’t familiar with enka.

It’s a love song, but some of its lyrics tie into the anime’s content, and the simple hand-movement choreography is another reason it’s widely loved.

You should definitely give it a try yourself.

♬ Wonderful – Last Chorus Version – GReeeeN

“WONDERFUL” has also become a hot topic because TikToker Shota Haya used it for an anime dance.

This song was created by the vocal group GReeeeN as the theme for the film “The Lord’s Bankruptcy.” The lyrics depict people supporting one another and enjoying a wonderful world.

I hope you’ll listen while paying attention to the intriguing sonic shifts, such as the key change midway and the hip-hop-styled section.

Also, be sure to check out the drama-like music video.

The song written as the opening theme for the anime Chainsaw Man has become a hot topic.

Singer-songwriter Kenshi Yonezu released it in October 2022.

It’s a track that fuses energetic rock with drum’n’bass, characterized by a fast tempo and a structure that makes frequent use of key changes.

A heavy, edgy band performance that highlights the world of Chainsaw Man resounds throughout.

The vocals are also striking, showcasing a wide range from cool low tones to passionate singing.

The key is to deliver vocals that leverage a mixed voice over the driving, high-speed beat.

Be sure to try singing this crowd-pleasing anime song at karaoke.

Idol – YOASOBI

When it comes to songs popular on TikTok, YOASOBI’s track is a prime example.

Created as the opening theme for the TV anime “Oshi no Ko” and released digitally in April 2023, this song portrays the inner conflicts lurking behind the world of idols.

The lyrics convey the hidden vulnerabilities behind the pursuit of perfection and a heartfelt longing to be loved, resonating deeply with listeners.

While incorporating elements of hip-hop, it’s crafted as a catchy pop song with a gothic rock flair.

It’s a great pick not only for those who enjoy anime dance trends, but also for anyone interested in the world of idols.

I’m addicted to this dance😍😍😍😍

♬ Gambare Gambare Senpai – Bemax

There’s a somewhat unique track called “Ganbare Ganbare Senpai.” Many of you have probably heard the song that repeats this phrase in its title.

In fact, it’s a remix made from a clipped scene of the anime “Don’t Toy With Me, Miss Nagatoro.” DJ Beemax posted it on YouTube, where it went mega-viral.

It’s been gaining traction, with other users now uploading their own arrangement versions as well.

It sounds like it would be fun to compare the different versions.
