Start SongFukuda Sho / Suzuki Tsubasa
Start Song is an original track by Sho Fukuda—an “asobi-uta” (play-song) creator who also writes music for programs like NHK’s Okaasan to Issho—and Tsubasa Suzuki, also an asobi-uta creator who serves as a visiting professor in a university’s early childhood education department.
As the title suggests, it’s a brisk, invigorating number that feels perfect for kicking things off.
The original dance features lots of lively moves like clapping, stomping, and jumping, making it fun and easy for young children to dance along.
Highly recommended for performances by younger kindergarten classes!
Bling-Bang-Bang-BornCreepy Nuts
Why not move your body with full energy to a rhythmic tune? Creepy Nuts’ music carries a powerful message of self-affirmation and the spirit of challenge.
Released in January 2024, this song was also used as a TV anime opening theme and captured the hearts of many.
Its addictive, dance-ready rhythm is sure to shine at children’s sports days, too.
If everyone dances together, it’s bound to become a wonderful memory.
How about livening up this summer’s sports day with energetic kids and some great moves?
Smile, smile — Xiao Yi Xiao!Momoiro Kurōbā Zetto
Momoiro Clover Z is a musical unit that brings smiles to listeners with their energetic live performances.
Their 2018 release “Oshiete—Shaoi Shao! (Xiao Yi Xiao)” is a danceable number that’s perfect for a fun sports day.
It was chosen as the theme song for the film Crayon Shin-chan: Burst Serving! Kung Fu Boys ~Ramen Rebellion~.
The dynamic sound featuring brilliant strings leaves a strong impression.
The cute, easy-to-learn dance choreography is great for kids, too! Why not dance to this song that teaches “kindness” and “courage”?
Festival Dokkyun
Let us introduce the “Omatsuri Dokkyun” dance, perfect for summer festivals and event season.
While stepping in place, add movements that match the lyrics.
The song is lively and energizing, so we recommend using your whole body with powerful, large motions.
Holding uchiwa fans and adding call-and-response chants will create a sense of unity across the group.
Performing the dance in colorful happi coats will match the music and make the stage even more vibrant.
Bean Squadron Bibin-Biin
Especially boys tend to love superhero teams, don’t they? This song, “Omame Sentai Bibinbi~n,” features little beans who fight for love, peace, and, of course, rice.
The choreography includes transformation poses that kids will want to imitate, and the music itself is really cool.
How about becoming part of the Bean Ranger Squad together with the kids and dancing in style? If you prepare sentai-style costumes or bean-themed headgear, it’ll really boost the kids’ excitement.
Let them come up with their own signature poses so they can express their idea of what’s cool!
What is this, Panda Samba?
Let me introduce the super upbeat “Nanda Panda Samba” dance.
The key is to enjoy the dance by keeping rhythm while blending samba with panda-like moves.
It’s also fun to move your feet as if stepping to a samba beat.
Incorporating panda motions into the dance might help you feel closer to pandas and really liven things up.
Since the overall rhythm is snappy, keep smiling and dance along to the tempo.
It could be nice to finish with your favorite pose at the end.
Nyan-Para☆Dance
Let me introduce “Nyan-Para☆Dance,” a routine full of adorable, cat-like moves.
The dance features motions that resemble a cat stretching its body or reaching out its paws.
Along with the “nyan” phrases in the lyrics, get into character as a cute kitty and move your body.
Imagining soft, supple motions may help you look even more cat-like.
Try adding adjustments to suit different ages and have fun with it.
The rhythmic, upbeat song is also recommended for children.
