10 years as a kindergarten teacher / elementary school teacher / junior and senior high school teacher / childminderkepiko
Graduated from Kunitachi College of Music, Faculty of Music (now: Department of Music Culture and Education, Early Childhood Music Education major). In elementary school, my homeroom teacher was Jun Kusaba, a game researcher. After graduating from university, I worked as a kindergarten teacher for 10 years and as an after-school childcare instructor for 7 years, then took a position as a music teacher at an international school in Singapore. In addition to music education, I engaged in activities that introduced Japanese culture, traditional games, and recreational activities, working with many children. Later, through freelance writing, planning, and editing at Shogakukan, I met many delightful adults and experienced the joy of communicating and sharing. Drawing on the perspective cultivated in the field of education and my experience as an editor, I provide practical information with an emphasis on both input and output, mainly in areas related to music and children. My hobbies include instruments, singing, handicrafts, toys, drawing, traditional games, the outdoors, and books. My special skill is spinning-top tricks.

When this song starts playing at a school sports festival, you can’t help but feel excited.

Some people might not know who sings it, but if you get creative with the dance outfits, it could be obvious at a glance.

The video also shows a simple dance, but since it’s quite minimal, let’s add a few tweaks there as well.

Tattayuzu

Yuzu - Tatta

Tattayuzu

Yuzu, an artist popular with kids as well—thanks to songs like Muscat and OLA!! being featured in the Crayon Shin-chan anime and films—performed this track, which was the theme song for the TV show Mecha-Mecha Iketeru!.

It’s a lively dance number with Yuzu’s signature upbeat, encouraging lyrics and a feel-good sound.

In the music video, people of various ages joyfully dance, making it easy to grasp the vibe when performing it yourself.

Just dancing will get the crowd going, but it really shines even more if you put effort into costumes and storytelling.
