Exercise Together with Everyone
A gymnastics song featuring a collaboration between popular children’s characters Shimajiro and Hello Kitty.
The big, easy-to-understand moves linked to the lyrics make it look simple enough for even preschoolers to dance—how nice! In the official video, they gently teach the following movements, making it easy to practice and really motivating you to give it a try.
Since it’s a gymnastics song, the content is designed with physical activity in mind.
Why not incorporate it into exercises at daycare, kindergarten, or even a sports day?
Ta-da-da-da-daaa!
Panpaka Panpan Paan is a song that gives you courage when your environment changes or when you start something new.
Its toe-tapping rhythm will brighten your mood just by listening.
If you’re using it for recreation, why not enjoy a dance to this tune? Form a circle and spin around hand in hand, gather in the center, or simply raise both hands—you’ll still have plenty of fun.
It’s also perfect as a dance song for a school sports day!
Mīchatta Dance
Let me introduce the “Mii-chatta Dance,” a routine that heightens children’s excitement and lets them feel the joy of moving their bodies.
In everyday moments, someone might casually ask, “What are you looking at?” As you repeat “Mii-chatta, mii-chatta,” move along to the lively rhythm.
The moves are cute, simple, and easy to remember, so even very young children can enjoy them.
At the end, there’s a greeting scene where you say, “Kekkō na otemae deshita” and bow—an adorable moment that might make you smile without even realizing it.
