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!
100% Courage
The theme song of the anime Nintama Rantarō, “Yūki 100%,” is such a powerful track that just hearing it fills you with energy and courage.
With its catchy sound and lively rhythm, it’s perfect not only as BGM for sports days and as a dance number, but also as music for a parachute performance where several people hold the edges of a large circular cloth and raise and lower it in time.
The moment the intro starts, kids, parents, and teachers all get hyped! Let the power of the song boost the excitement and make your sports day even more fun!
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.

Fortune Cookie in LoveAKB48
If you’re looking for a dance number that suits a sports day attended by a wide range of age groups, we recommend “Koi Suru Fortune Cookie.” It was released in 2013 by AKB48, the female idol group that has produced numerous stars, and it has been featured widely across the media.
Many people will be familiar with its cute “rice ball” hand-rolling move.
The arrangement evokes the disco sound of the 1970s.
With its slow tempo, it’s also a great choice for kids who are new to dancing!
U.S.A.DA PUMP
In 2018, DA PUMP released a cover of Italian singer Joe Yellow’s song, and it became a massive hit as a “so-bad-it’s-cool” number.
It’s popular across generations, from kids to adults, and it’s guaranteed to get you pumped up.
It’s great that there are lots of videos featuring versions that even small children can dance to.
Just ride the catchy rhythm, don’t sweat the small stuff, and have fun dancing.
Let them experience the joy of moving their bodies with sharp, stylish dance moves!
The EntertainerScott Joplin
This piano piece is characterized by syncopated rhythms and a light, buoyant melody, combining a bright, pop-like atmosphere.
Its lively, energetic phrases make it a perfect match for entrance marches at sports days or as background music for calisthenics.
Originally composed by Scott Joplin in 1902, it gained renewed fame through Marvin Hamlisch’s arrangement for the 1973 film The Sting, which won seven Academy Awards including Best Picture.
Its distinctive rhythm and melodic lines make it easy to use as a march, and its familiar, singable tune appeals to everyone.
Ideal for bringing sparkle to entrance and exit scenes at school sports events, it’s recommended for those who want to create a vibrant, energetic mood.
Carrot NinjaKeroponzu
Let’s show it off in an orange ninja outfit! Introducing the “Carrot Ninja.” The combination of carrot and ninja is unique and fun, isn’t it? Why not take this opportunity to arrange a dark-colored ninja outfit into orange and green and try wearing it? As the name suggests, “Carrot Ninja” is a ninja themed around carrots.
The lyrics also express the characteristics of carrots, so it seems like a great chance to learn more.
There’s even a spot in the middle of the song where lively shout-outs become the highlight!
