Danced at a UK anime convention in 2017 by a group who had learned it from a Bilibili upload, subtitles and all.
Gokuraku Jodo
A J-pop single released on 28 July 2016 with a dance video, which crossed to the Chinese site Bilibili and went viral there — producing spoofs, mimicry videos and a wave of copied choreography quite separate from its Japanese release. The record's entry for a song that got popular in the next country over.

The dance is the transmissible part. A choreography video needs no translation, which is why it crossed a language border that the lyrics did not.

The virality is Chinese, not Japanese. The song was a Japanese release; the spoofs and copy-dances that made it a meme happened on Bilibili.
