Transform! Ninja-jan!
You can see both cuteness and coolness! Let me introduce “Henshin! Ninja-Jan.” What comes to mind when you hear the word ninja? Many people probably think of their distinctive stealth outfits and throwing stars.
Put on ninja costumes made with nonwoven fabric and colored plastic bags, and let’s transform into ninjas! “Henshin! Ninja-Jan” features rhythmic music and comical choreography.
The kids, fully immersed as ninjas, look incredibly cool with their serious expressions!
New EraAdo
Ado’s song “New Genesis,” the theme song of the anime film ONE PIECE FILM RED, is a lively number full of speed and energy.
It’s perfect as a dance track for sports days or school performances.
With an 80s techno-pop vibe, it’s a refreshing, powerful song with a sense of drive.
Its light, upbeat tempo makes you want to start running, matches dances well, and will definitely shine at events like sports days.
With choreography that’s easy to dance yet cool, become the star of your sports day.
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.
Super Dancin’ ManiaTokyo Dizunīrando
This dance track was created for the special event Club Disney, held at Tokyo Disneyland.
In this event where you can dance together with Disney friends, the park was enveloped in an excitement that made it feel like a massive club, captivating many guests.
With its lively rhythm and simple choreography, it’s designed for everyone—from kids to adults—to enjoy, making it perfect for use at sports days and recreational activities.
Just like during the event, pairing it with sparkly costumes and colorful lights enhances the fun of the dance even more.
It’s an energetic song that lets you get fired up together with your friends.
POKÉDANCEnanahira
This piece is a fun dance tune set to charming electronic sounds and a light, buoyant rhythm, celebrating the joy of friendship and new encounters.
Its English lyrics convey the message of “having fun together with friends,” wrapping listeners in a warm atmosphere that brings smiles to everyone.
Released in February 2024, the song beautifully matches Nanahira’s clear, soaring vocals with a cute melody, and the animated music video featuring partner Pokémon dancing drew plenty of attention.
A dance practice version by ENHYPEN was released simultaneously, capturing the hearts of Pokémon fans.
With its rhythmic, upbeat feel, it’s perfect for group performances like school sports festivals.
Pairing it with balloon choreography can make the presentation even more dazzling.
BarararararararaTōkyō Dizunī Rizōto
The happy dance using the “balalalalalala” song from Baymax is bright and perfect for kids to perform at events like sports days.
It’s recommended to let the children listen to the song beforehand so they get used to it, then incorporate it into the dance.
By coordinating costumes and making pompoms to add flair, the children’s performance will look even more vibrant and become an ideal dance for a sports day.
Teachers and kids alike—make it a cheerful, fun dance full of smiles!
chantAdo
How about trying a dance to “Show” sung by Ado, the song that’s become a staple of Universal Studios Japan’s Halloween Horror Nights? It’s a very popular track, so many kids have probably heard it.
In the video, the choreography for the chorus is the same as the routine actually performed at Universal Studios Japan.
The tempo is fast, so the moves can be challenging, but even simple choreography becomes more powerful when everyone’s movements are in sync.
Why not give it a try?
