Prior to making their own K-pop songs, Ubisoft made several J-pop songs, working with Reni Mimura under the names Sentai Express and Wanko Ni Mero Mero on songs such as Chiwawa.

Welcome back everyone! As you know, it is May so it is Asian-American and Pacific Islander (AAPI) Heritage Month! This means that we are highlighting the Asian and Pacific Islands artists, performers, and choreographers that make this game possible! Part one highlighted AAPI contributions to Just Dance 2025 Edition and today is part two, which will give a brief overview of the whole series and showcase all of the fanart and mashups we received this month!

This year, we received 18 submissions from 9 users!

Apple Coach 1

Julia from "Apple" by Charli XCX is named after the line "I'm everywhere, I'm so Julia", which is from "360" by Charli XCX. As such, fans have speculated that the coach will return if we ever get "360".

In addition to fanart and mashups, we also asked the community for music recommendations! Here are some of the songs and artists that the community would like to see in the future:

Part 1 recap[]

In case you missed it, here is a recap of part 1. As we said then, we unfortunately did not get that many songs from AAPI artists this year as focus was seemingly placed elsewhere for this year's tracklist.

Series overview[]

Bollywood jd2 cover generic

Katti Kalandal by Tony Tape & Veilumuth Chitralekha (credited as Bollywood) on Just Dance 2 was the first non-English song in the series with transcribed lyrics.

Gangnamstyledlc jd4 cover generic

Gangnam Style by PSY, a DLC on Just Dance 4, was the first K-pop song in the main series.

Flyingget cover generic

Flying Get by AKB48 on Just Dance Wii U is one of several songs exclusive to the Japanese series.

Uglybeauty jd2020 cover generic

Jolin Tsai is one of only a handful of artists to appear in the main series after having an Asian exclusive, with Wu Niang on 舞力全开2015 and Ugly Beauty (pictured) on Just Dance 2020.

Hawaiian cover generic

Hawaiian Roller Coaster Ride by Mark Kealiʻi Hoʻomalu and Kamehameha Schools Children’s Chorus on Just Dance: Disney Party is one of only songs by a Native Hawaiian artist in the franchise.

Over the course of the series' 15 year history, we have gotten several Asian and Pacific Islands artists in the series, including four Japan-exclusive games and four China-exclusive games, with a fifth on the way. K-pop is the most popular Asian genre in the main series, with at least one song from the genre in every game since Just Dance 4, excluding Just Dance 2015 and Just Dance 2016. J-pop is also popular, with Ubisoft producing several songs in the genre. Here are some of the artists we have gotten in the main series:
