So, you are not alone.Little Glee Monster

Little Glee Monster “So, You’re Not Alone” Music Video Short Ver.

Little Glee Monster’s popular song “Dakara, Hitori Janai” (“So, You’re Not Alone”).

Released in 2017, it was used as the ending theme for the anime My Hero Academia.

Many people in the younger generation probably listened to it every day back then.

The lyrics, which encourage you to keep moving forward even when things are tough, make you feel like, “I’ll do my best too!” It’s a dance number that gets even more exciting and powerful when performed by a large group.

If it’s hard for everyone to synchronize perfectly, adding slight time offsets to the choreography might make it easier to dance.

Bluma to LunchBLOOM VASE

Bluma to Lunch

A track by the three-MC hip-hop crew BLOOM VASE, whose punchy catchphrases went viral on TikTok.

The languid rap is seriously addictive.

The lyrics are a bit too explicit—or at least not kid-friendly—for a school sports day, so consider playing just the backing track or creating a parody-lyrics version.

If it’s an elementary school event, the gentler, also-popular “CHILDAYS” is a recommendation.

There are plenty of dance-cover videos on YouTube, so it could be fun to reference those and unveil your own original choreography!

YOASOBI is a musical duo that has gained immense popularity among young people.

Their signature song “Yoru ni Kakeru,” released in 2019, is a catchy number that’s fun to both sing and dance to.

If you’re a student, you’ve probably heard it at least once.

Its beautiful piano sound set to an uptempo rhythm is particularly striking.

While it may seem difficult to dance to at first glance, it’s based on a four-on-the-floor beat, so even beginners can dance it once they get the hang of it.

Let’s dance to this well-known classic and liven up your school sports festival or field day!

Toddlers and elementary schoolers can dance too! Yowanehaki (feat. Wanuka & asmi) / MAISONdes [Easy Dance Choreography, Mirrored Video] (choreo by Orina Maeda) - WK DANCE CSR Activity

A song by the music project MAISONdes, which releases tracks under the concept of “songs by the residents of a six-tatami-mat apartment somewhere.” It features Osaka-born singer-songwriter asmi and current university student singer-songwriter Wanuka, and its light, stylish arrangement with a touch of Japanese melody is delightful.

While the song itself makes a strong impact, the tempo isn’t too fast for dancing, making it a good fit for performances at school sports days and festivals.

Paired with choreography, it can evoke an atmosphere reminiscent of traditional performing arts—a modern yet nostalgic number that stirs the heart.
