Mischief Ninja Arts Manual

The key is its exciting, upbeat feel! Let me introduce “Itazura Ninpōchō.” Some children just love playing pranks, don’t they? This time, let’s do a cute dance to “Itazura Ninpōchō,” which has mischief as its theme! It’s a good idea to adapt the choreography to the children’s ages and interests.
Since it’s up-tempo with a unique sound, a comical choreography will fit well.
Dive in with a sense of excitement and have fun!
Hattori-kun Ondo

From the ninja-themed anime Ninja Hattori-kun, we present the song Hattori-kun Ondo.
Ninja Hattori-kun is a Japanese gag manga in which Hattori leaves his village to continue his training in Tokyo, where he gets caught up in various incidents.
Let’s try dancing the Hattori-kun Ondo from the beloved national anime Ninja Hattori-kun.
The key points are its tune, which evokes an ondo performed at events like Bon Odori, and lyrics that weave in ninja-specific episodes!
Ninja Hattori-kun

Become a ninja with a beloved TV anime opening song! Introducing Ninja Hattori-kun.
Set to Ninja Hattori-kun, the opening theme from the well-known ninja-themed anime Ninja Hattori-kun, let’s dance while pretending to be the ninjas kids love! For costumes, using nonwoven fabric or colored plastic bags makes them easy for teachers and parents to make and easy for children to put on and take off—highly recommended! Be sure to give it a try.
Real Gonekāzu

One of the charms of Disney movies is anthropomorphism.
Snowmen talk, and cars and airplanes have human-like personalities—there are all sorts of elements that spark children’s imagination and curiosity.
The film Cars is like that too.
It’s not just a simple good-versus-evil story; friendship and love run deep beneath it all.
Sheryl Crow’s song “Real Gone” pairs perfectly with a cool dance.
It’s also a great BGM choice for school sports days during sprints or relays.
The Cars soundtrack is packed with tracks you can use, including songs by Chuck Berry and Rascal Flatts.
We are ninjas, indeed.Fukuda Sho

Perfect for the adorable vibe of infants, too! Presenting “We Are Little Ninjas.” At sports days and festivals, you can catch the cool performances of the preschool classes, but many people also look forward to the adorable moments from the infant classes, right? This time, let’s transform into ninjas with “We Are Little Ninjas,” a piece that even infant classes can try.
Its gentle melody and soft choreography are just right for the little ones.
Give it a try in your program!
Senbonzakura

Senbonzakura is a song written, composed, and arranged by Kurousa-P.
It has been covered by many artists and remains hugely popular in “tried singing” and “tried playing” videos.
It’s a big hit with children—why not dance to it cheerfully and energetically? In keeping with the title “Senbonzakura,” you could use cherry blossom branches, and since it has a traditional Japanese flavor, it would also look great with Japanese-style costumes.
If your team incorporates movements like Yosakoi, it could become a wonderful performance for a school sports day and a great memory with friends.
dance hallMrs. GREEN APPLE

It’s a song filled with messages about discovering love and living life positively.
Upbeat lyrics paired with a pop melody give it an encouraging power that brightens the world.
By likening life to a landing on a staircase, it teaches the importance of enjoying life together with those you cherish, even if you stumble sometimes.
Included on the July 2022 album “Unity,” it was also chosen as the theme song for Fuji TV’s “Mezamashi 8.” Seamlessly blending Mrs.
GREEN APPLE’s pop sensibilities with a heartwarming message, this track is perfect when you’re feeling down or need a boost.
Use it for group performances at school sports days, and it will surely bring out children’s smiles and energetic expression.
