As the theme song of the hugely popular anime SPY×FAMILY, this track is also a big hit with kids.

Its energetic, driving sound and refreshing, poppy melody pump up the excitement and give a cool impression to both children and adults.

To make it easy for preschoolers to dance, it’s best to incorporate simple, recognizable moves, like gestures that evoke peanuts or motions like “bye-bye” and “searching.” The key is to keep a steady, slightly relaxed rhythm so you don’t get swept away by the high tempo.
