"Chiwawa" by Wanko Ni Mero Mero is featured on Just Dance 2016, Just Dance Now, Just Dance Unlimited, 舞力无限, and Just Dance+. The song also appears on the main tracklist on Just Dance 2017 for the Nintendo Switch and appeared on 舞力全开:活力派 before the shutdown. It also appeared in Just Dance 2020 as part of All Stars Mode prior to the shutdown of the feature on February 28, 2023.
The Remastered Version, by Barbie, also appears in Kids Mode for Just Dance 2018 and Just Dance 2019.
Appearance of the Dancer[]
The dancer is Inugami, a girl with pink bobbed hair. She wears some cube and oval headbands, a yellow shirt with some chihuahua plush heads along with a square-pattern skirt that is shaped similar to a Rubik’s cube, some yellow and red spotted stockings, and some black high heels with leg straps. At some points in the routine, the coach turns black and white. The dancer appears to be a paper cutout, as she seemingly peels off of the background revealing her to be flat, and completely white at the back. She also wears a violet glove.
Background[]
The background switches between pink, blue, orange, and green, with flowers, hearts, and sandwich ingredients in a monochromatic color scheme in the background. The word "Chiwawa" appears sometimes when it is said. Multiple chihuahuas appear in most of the backgrounds. In the beginning, there are red, yellow, pink, and purple flowers and the dancer appears to be walking a Chihuahua, whose name is Alan. It changes to a background with chihuahuas and dog bowls in the background. The chihuahuas sit down and touch their noses with their tongues at certain points. Near the beginning of the verses the background switches between a background with pipes with the dancer in a monochromatic color scheme coming out of them and cups with chihuahuas coming out of them. Very random and usually animal-related objects appear during the chorus, such as hot dogs, carrots, rabbits, and a gumball machine with dog toys dropping out of it. There is also a cropped chihuahua head with the mouth cut from the rest of it, which has cucumbers slices on its eyes and sings into a microphone held by a hand.
At the beginning of the second verse and the bridge, there are cats coming out of a photocopier; the second time they are coming out in sandwiches. There are also bowls of noodles flying around; at one point, the dancer in a monochromatic color scheme is riding on them. The last time she rides on them, her head is replaced by Panda’s. Near the end, the background also contains dog bones as well as hearts and stars, also in a monochromatic color scheme. The entire environment appears to be made of paper. At the beginning and end of the routine, there is also a chihuahua wearing glasses that have Fix on one of the lenses, and the logo on the other.

Trivia[]
General[]
- Chiwawa is the first song by Wanko Ni Mero Mero in the series.
- Chiwawa is the second Japanese-language song in the main series.
- Chiwawa is an original song created by Ubisoft in collaboration with soundtrack composer Tom Salta and Japanese singer ReniReni.[3] It marks ReniReni’s second appearance in the series, after Spectronizer.
- Chiwawa and Drop the Mambo are also the third and fourth song produced by Tom Salta, after Dagomba and Spectronizer.[4]
- The official release date of Chiwawa was on September 29, 2015, which makes it the most recent song to be featured in Just Dance 2016.

- Besides the sentence "The dog accidentally [gibberish]..." in Japanese, "I want a chiwawa" being spelled out in English, the word "Sorry!", "Let’s go one more time!", and "Achoo!", the song consists entirely of gibberish and Japanese onomatopoeia.
- The lyrics "Inu hun jyatta" in the verse are an alteration of the Japanese children’s song "Neko Funjatta", which in turn is a regional rendition of the piano piece "Flohwalzer".
- At BGS (Brasil Game Show) 2015, a Community Remix for Chiwawa was seen in the menu. However, when Just Dance 2016 was released, the one for Uptown Funk was included instead.
