Watch out for hornets!

Kids are Grooving to This Super Quirky Song! Watch Out for Hornets! (Age 5 / Dance) Hiromichi & Tanizo

Let me introduce “Watch Out for the Hornet!”, a dance where you become a hornet.

While waiting for the music to start, strike a pre-flight hornet pose.

The key is to keep your fingertips straight as you wait.

Once the music begins, the hornet can freely fly around the room.

It might be more exciting if you decide on some call-and-response shouts to use during the dance.

Hornets are dangerous if you approach or touch them.

Through the song and dance, it could also be a chance to learn about dangers close to home.

Maru Maru Mori Mori!Kaoru to Tomoki, tama ni Mukku.

Kaoru and Tomoki, sometimes Mook. – Maru Maru Mori Mori!

It’s a song that has long been loved as the theme for Fuji TV’s smash-hit drama “Marumo no Okite.” Even the fact that it was released under the name “Kaoru to Tomoki, Sometimes Mook” feels nostalgic now.

Above all, Mana Ashida and Fuku Suzuki’s “Marumori Dance” is adorable, and the two were in constant demand on TV at the time.

Since they were so young back then, it’s probably suitable even for the youngest kindergarten class.

The parents are exactly the generation who watched the drama when it aired, so it’s sure to be a hit!
