[2021 Latest] “Karada☆Dandan” from Okaasan to Issho – Full Live-Action Version by Ear (Full Cover), High-Quality Version [Dance]

A popular song that’s also danced to on NHK’s children’s program “Okaasan to Issho.” Because it’s up-tempo, it’s recommended if you want to boost the energy at a sports day.

The lyrics are packed with a gesture-game vibe where kids act like the creatures that appear, so even younger children might perform it with enthusiasm.

Under the sea you become crabs and shrimp; on land you switch to dinosaurs and monkeys.

Each animal has distinctive traits, so the dance moves should be easy to grasp.

The lively chorus is lots of fun, too!

[Special Dance Video!] “Sansan Taiso” Dance Video featuring Kyoko Fukada and Hiroya Yamazaki ★ Movie: “Go! Anpanman: Fluffy Fuwari and the Country of Clouds”

Anpanman’s exercise number, “Sansan Taiso.” Since it’s part of the Anpanman series, which is hugely popular with young children, it’s easy to get into.

It starts with a marching rhythm—one, two, three—and lets kids have fun moving their bodies: waving their hands, stretching to the side, and twirling their arms.

Encourage them with phrases like, “Let’s move our bodies full of energy like Anpanman!” and “Spread your hands wide,” and lead the routine with big, dynamic actions to keep it lively.

Banana-kun Exercise (Lyrics and Music by Toshihiko Shinzawa) [from Toshihiko Shinzawa’s “Dance! Sports Day”]

A gymnastics number created by Toshihiko Shinzawa—an author of picture books and a singer-songwriter who continues to craft songs loved by children and adults alike, such as “Niji.” Set to a light, Latin-style rhythm, this simple piece uses the familiar theme of “bananas,” making it easy for young children to enjoy.

Watching the official video featuring Shinzawa himself, you can feel the message that it’s okay to dance freely.

We hope children will move openly and energetically, experiencing the joy that moving your body is “fun!”
