100% Courage

100% Courage (Nintama Rantarō Season 1 Opening)

I think many little kids came to know this song from reruns of Nintama Rantarō on TV.

It’s been passed down and sung by successive former Johnny’s groups like Hikaru GENJI, NYC, and Junior Boys, so parents’ generation has probably encountered it at some point too.

The lyrics—“There’s no point in sulking; let’s be brave and move forward!”—also help liven up sports days.

Besides each artist’s original choreography, there are many dances customized for toddlers and children uploaded to video sites.

Be sure to use them as a reference.
