A view I’ve never seen beforeSuda Masaki

Masaki Suda “A Scenery I’ve Never Seen”

Masaki Suda’s “Mita Koto mo Nai Keshiki” really shines with its powerful high notes in the chorus—that’s the main highlight.

It’s a song that lets you move your body to the tempo while incorporating big handclaps.

There’s also an instrumental break, so it’s a great choice when you want to include changes in formation or full-group transitions.

Since parts of the song are up-tempo, introducing it from around the upper elementary grades could allow for dynamic, fast-paced performances—perfect for cool dances or mass games that showcase a sense of speed.

Real Gonekāzu

Real Gone (from Cars)

One of the charms of Disney movies is anthropomorphism.

Snowmen talk, and cars and airplanes have human-like personalities—there are all sorts of elements that spark children’s imagination and curiosity.

The film Cars is like that too.

It’s not just a simple good-versus-evil story; friendship and love run deep beneath it all.

Sheryl Crow’s song “Real Gone” pairs perfectly with a cool dance.

It’s also a great BGM choice for school sports days during sprints or relays.

The Cars soundtrack is packed with tracks you can use, including songs by Chuck Berry and Rascal Flatts.
