Yakushiji Kindergarten: 2024 Kindergarten Sports Day — Middle Class Parent-Child Dance “Timing”

We’d like to introduce a song that’s perfect for a bright and energetic atmosphere at children’s sports days! It’s a single by Black Biscuits, released in April 1998, which reached No.

2 on the Oricon charts and became a huge hit with about 1.48 million copies sold.

The lyrics, which sing about important moments in everyday life, make it perfect for practice time leading up to the dance segment of a sports day.

The fun choreography that kids can energetically dance to with friends is sure to become a popular program for preschoolers’ sports festivals.

Kaela Kimura “Magic Music” [short ver.]

This is a vibrant summer tune by Kaela Kimura.

Created for summer festivals, its happy, positive worldview adds extra fun to children’s movements.

Set to a catchy melody, it sings about the magical power of music and the thrill of romance.

Released in June 2006, it was used as the commercial song for Toshiba’s portable media player “gigabeat” and as the ending theme for tvk’s program “sakusaku.” Although it wasn’t included on the album “Scratch,” it remains one of the artist’s most popular signature songs.

If you’re pairing it with a parachute (paraballoon) routine, this refreshing track is perfect for everyone to dance to.

Its lively, pop atmosphere will make bright, cheerful performances even more delightful.

It’s a sweets-ful time!Tokyo Dizunīrando

[Highest Quality Vanellope Stop / Front Row] It's a Sweetsful Time! Disneyland January 2025 Dancers Vanellope's Sweets Pop World Sneak 2nd Palpalooza Part 3

This is a lively dance track starring Vanellope, a character from the movie Wreck-It Ralph.

As a song themed around a world of sweets, both the music and costumes are colorful and cute.

The dancers are dressed in candy- and cake-inspired outfits, creating a fun atmosphere just by looking.

If you include it in recreational activities or a school sports day program, it’s sure to send kids’ excitement soaring.

Many of the choreographed moves are light and in sync with the rhythm, making them easy to learn.

Since there’s also a narrative element in the background, adding creative touches to the costumes and staging will produce a cohesive, unified performance.

A New AngleTōkyō Dizunīrando Beimakkusu

[High-Quality Audio/High-Quality Video] Big Hero 6 Baymax Big Brother Edition – Tokyo Disneyland The Happy Ride with Baymax: A New Angle

There are six songs played on the popular attraction “The Happy Ride with Baymax,” each available in three versions: with dialogue, without dialogue, and instrumental.

They’re available for streaming and on CD.

“A New Angle” is also a catchy track, and its lyrics—suggesting new possibilities like “If you spin around and look, you’ll discover a new way of seeing”—are really cool! If you were to choreograph a dance to this song, adding lots of jumps and occasionally swinging your arms wide to the left and right could make it really fun.

It’s a perfect recommendation for younger elementary students, too.

And it’s also great as background music to create a lively mood during recreation time!

Have you seen the movie Big Hero 6? It’s a story that weaves in Eastern elements, which is rare for a Disney film.

You might think it’s just for kids, but it also has suspense, so I recommend it to anyone who hasn’t seen it yet.

The Baymax-themed Disneyland attraction “The Happy Ride with Baymax” is also very popular.

While the ride is operating, one of six songs plays, including “Happy Song” and “One Sweet Ride.” Every track is upbeat and sure to make you happy.

The CD is also available for purchase, so I hope you’ll listen to all the songs first!
