This one is pretty easy. UniSon:
Rebels of Rhythm and Dance on the PS2. I'm a sucker for music games
in general (DDR, Beatmania, Pop'n Music, the Pinky Street music game
tie-in from Japan), but my heart belongs to UniSon. It's anime with
gameplay. It's silly, weird and downright gorgeous.
The girls at a performance
You play one of
three girls (who determines the difficulty) who are chosen by Dr
Dance, a man with an afro and disco suit that scream wacky. He
teaches you dance moves to famous songs like "YMCA" and "Barbie Girl." After enough practice, you perform the song and gain fans. The
underlying story is one of a town were singing is the only
entertainment allowed because dancing is outlawed by Emperor Ducker. The girls fight his oppressive regime with their funky steps and
bring music (with song AND dance) to the masses. It is as silly as
it sounds, but the production values are top-notch and the gameplay
is unique (you use the twin sticks to mimic hand/foot motions for
dancing). All in all, a hilarious game that's fun, too!

Dancing to Aqua's "Barbie Girl"
The villain, Emperor Ducker (he rides a giant rubber duckie, no joke)
I've not played it but it looks like one I would never admit to.
