Green light from the blue sky
Known as a song from “With Daddy,” “Blue-Sky Go Sign” is a lovely track that gives the impression that once you take the leap, there are wonderful days waiting under the blue sky.
The blue sky feels like the start of a fun time, doesn’t it? It’s a song that’s enjoyable just to sing, so how about singing it while keeping rhythm with castanets or a tambourine? It also works great as a dance number—with lively choreography, it’s perfect for events like sports days.
Super Mario
Mario Brothers is widely known and loved across generations by both parents and children.
This dance features a strong beat and a lively Mario Brothers theme that makes your body start moving on its own just by listening—so let’s dance along! One fun point is the easy-to-learn choreography and the parts where you can choose the moves of your favorite character.
There are sections inspired by hip-hop as well, which adds a cool vibe.
Once you’ve learned the routine, you might find yourself dancing to the music even while playing the game at home.
Tattayuzu
This is a bright, energetic cheer song featuring acoustic guitar and tambourine.
If you use it for performances at sports festivals, it can lift children’s spirits with its positive message and get everyone excited with the “Tatta Dance,” choreographed by world-renowned dancer Kent Mori.
The lyrics are also appealing, celebrating the beauty of living each precious moment with care and encouraging each person’s journey.
Released in March 2017 to commemorate Yuzu’s 20th anniversary, it was also used as the theme song for Fuji TV’s variety show “Mecha-Mecha Iketeru!” Highly recommended as a track that shines in settings where children can express themselves energetically, such as group performances at sports festivals or dances at school events.
Furu Furu FruitSakushi: Mine Katsumasa / Sakkyoku: Okada Rikio
Furu Furu Fruit is the perfect song for children who have just started dancing after entering daycare or kindergarten.
It was produced as a track for sports day dances and is included in the CD book Katsuriki’s Sports Day & Recital Dances, released in 2017.
Its tropical sound, highlighted by bright, poppy synths, is memorable.
The lyrics and melody are easy to learn, and the choreography is simple.
It’s a pop song that’s fun even if you just sway your body to the music.
Teachers and parents, join in the dance and liven up the sports day!
A I U E O musicGReeeeN
This danceable number with borderless appeal is perfect for an exciting sports day! “Aiueo Music” is included on the vocal group GReeeeN’s 2013 album ‘Ii ne! (´・ω・`)’.
It was featured in many works, including as the opening theme for the anime LINE TOWN.
The track is an electro-pop piece with a strikingly dynamic arrangement.
Try dancing the cute and humorous choreography together with kindergarten and preschool children!
Tsubame (YOASOBI with Midories)
Tsubame, known as the theme song for NHK’s program “Hirogare! Irotoridori,” is based on Nana Otsuki’s novel “The Little Swallow’s Big Dream.” Its gentle lyrics, told from the perspective of a small swallow, resonate deeply.
As a song by the popular music duo YOASOBI and one that has also aired on NHK’s “Minna no Uta,” many children are familiar with it.
It’s great as a dance number for sports festivals, and since the tempo is relatively slow, it’s also fun to play on instruments.
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.
