PopopopoposeGReeeeN
There’s a song called “Popo Popo Pose” that seems like it would make practice more fun.
It’s an original piece GReeeeN wrote for the show “Inai Inai Baa!” The song is designed so you strike various poses to match the lyrics.
There are also four sections where you do a signature pose.
It could be fun to let kids come up with their own poses for those parts.
I’d love for them to enjoy the process, including thinking it over and discussing it—like, “What kind of pose should we do?”
Brother BeatSnow Man
It’s a pop song that bursts with brightness and energy right from the start, sure to give viewers a boost.
Throughout the piece—and especially in the chorus—it’s great how a slightly comical, memorable dance is woven in.
Fun highlights include everyone syncing up with poses like a “Shee!” stance and calls like “Ah-hoo!” There’s also a simplified dance video that’s easy for preschoolers to try, so be sure to check it out for reference.
I am the strongest.Ado
A cool anime song I’d like to introduce is “I Am the Strongest.” It was written by Mrs.
GREEN APPLE as an insert song for the film ONE PIECE FILM RED and sung by Ado.
Set to an up-tempo, intense sound, the lyrics boost your self-esteem.
Overall, it has a stylish, rock vibe that will get you hyped and fired up even during practice.
The sound clearly alternates between calm and explosive sections, so try to keep that in mind as you work on it!
Toshihiko Niizawaundōkai no hīrō
As a lively song to energize a sports day, Toshihiko Shinzawa’s piece is a perfect fit.
With its bright, lighthearted melody and catchy rhythm, it’s great for kids to dance to.
The lyrics depict scenes of a sports day held under a blue sky and praise the children taking on the events as heroes.
Included on the 2013 album “Toshihiko Shinzawa’s Sparkling Sports Day,” it’s popular with preschoolers and elementary school students.
Featuring a variety of actions, it’s ideal for performances at sports day.
It’s often used for openings, cheering, and during events, and is widely adopted in schools and preschools.
For the final sports day of the oldest kindergarteners, let’s all dance with energy and make it a day to remember!
Run!Momoiro Kurōbā Zetto
Upbeat songs are perfect for sports day dances, too.
My recommendation is “Hashire!” (“Run!”).
It’s a track released by the idol group Momoiro Clover Z.
In the lyrics, feelings of excitement and longing for someone are expressed through the act of running.
So incorporating running movements should match the song well.
There’s also a section that samples handclaps, so I hope you’ll add handclaps there and enjoy the sense of unity.

Blue and SummerMrs. GREEN APPLE
When you think of a school sports day, you probably picture clear blue skies and bright sunshine—a fresh, breezy vibe.
That’s why I want to recommend “Ao to Natsu” (“Blue and Summer”).
It’s a song themed around youth, packed with vivid imagery—sunlight, wind—that really evokes the day of a sports festival.
The rock-style, fast-paced sound also makes it great for pairing with energetic choreography.
In particular, the tempo picks up even more around the chorus, making it perfect for when you want to move your body to the fullest.
DoraemonHoshino Gen
Doraemon, a favorite among many children, is also a great recommendation.
This is a song Gen Hoshino wrote specifically for the feature-length film of the anime Doraemon with the same title.
It’s also well-loved as the opening theme for the TV series.
The comical words that evoke the anime’s world lift the listener’s mood.
Since there are many sections where the same notes continue throughout, choreography with handclaps or small, repeated movements would likely fit well.
When you repeat the same movements, there’s a fun sense of being able to move your body freely without overthinking it.
