This energetic song will make your heart dance! It’s a track by the girl group NiziU, released in June 2020 as their debut single.
The lyrics, filled with the desire to bring a smile to “you,” leave a strong impression.
It also became a hot topic when dance videos of it went viral on TikTok.

It’s a smile-filled song that kids and adults alike can enjoy together.

Have you heard of the popular song “La La La Exercise,” loved and widely used in preschools and other facilities? It’s great for a morning wake-up routine, and of course it’s been danced to energetically by many children at sports days and recital events.
The song is simple, so you’ll probably memorize it just by listening and dancing to it a few times.
The lyrics are paired with the movements to lead the actions, so if you practice exactly as the song goes, you’ll be able to dance it perfectly.

Run!Momoiro Kurōbā Zetto
The idol group Momoiro Clover Z released a song known as “Hashire!” which also appeared as an insert song in the film Moteki.
As the title suggests, it’s a fast-paced track brimming with a sense of sprinting, with the giddy excitement and happiness of being in love sung over an up-tempo sound.
It has a very lively feel, so I think it’s perfect for everyone to dance to and get hyped.
It would also be fun to include running movements in the choreography to match the title and lyrics.
POKÉDANCEHonda Yuki
In February 2024, a brand-new song long awaited by Pokémon fans finally dropped! The must-see music video, created by nine different animators, is a treat.
You’ll find yourself swaying to the energetic dancing of many beloved Pokémon from across the generations.
With themes of friendship and fun, this track is perfect for school festivals and cultural events.
Even those new to dancing will want to move along—its catchy vibe is irresistible for Pokémon lovers.
With Yuki Honda’s bright and lively composition, it’s sure to capture kids’ hearts! How about dancing together and making the best memories?
AdventureYOASOBI
Many children are probably eagerly counting down the days to their sports day.
The song I’d like to introduce is “Adventure.” It’s a track YOASOBI wrote based on stories from students who visited Universal Studios Japan, and to a buoyant melody it sings about the excitement of visiting the park and the special feeling of that day.
Try swapping the theme of the park with your sports day as you work on it.
If you listen on the day itself, you’ll relate even more.
And I hope you’ll express that joyful feeling to the fullest through dance.

S-s-stealthy footsteps
Let’s showcase the children at their best! Presenting “Shi Shi Shi no Nobi Ashi.” When you think of ninjas, you imagine various techniques for battling enemies, like shuriken throwing and concealment, right? This time, let’s try “Shi Shi Shi no Nobi Ashi,” which focuses on stealthy footsteps.
From the very beginning of the song, it’s sure to capture the children’s interest! By having them perform each movement slowly and quietly, you can highlight a charming contrast with their usual energetic selves—highly recommended!
New Treasure IslandSakanakushon
A song that can make a strong impression on the audience at an annual sports day or athletic festival is “Shin Takarajima.” It was released in 2015 by Sakanaction, a rock band known for delivering unique tracks grounded in electronica.
The song is an electro-pop piece that blends nostalgic yet fresh synth sounds.
Its rhythmical tempo stands out, and once you get the hang of it, you can create movements with a strong sense of unity.
It’s also a great idea to incorporate the dance they perform in the music video.
