[Daycare/Preschool] Recommended Songs for Sports Day Dance (141–150)
Sun Sun Exercisedoriimingu

This cheerfully upbeat piece, hugely popular with children, is a gymnastics song released in August 1995.
Its charm lies in the cute choreography inspired by sunshine and a catchy, rhythmic melody that makes you want to hum along.
In the Anpanman world sung by Dreaming, children can join in naturally with smiles.
It’s perfect for livening up a school sports day, as kids can happily dance along with Anpanman and his friends.
The song is also included on the album “Soreike! Anpanman Best Hit ’21” and is beloved by many children as the ending theme of the TV anime “Soreike! Anpanman.” With a setting that feels like taking a walk with Anpanman and his friends, dancing to it together at a sports day will make for wonderful memories.
Head over heels for the cosmosHanada Yuuichirou, Ono Atsuko

This song, themed around space, features a memorable wordplay that lines up the names of planets children explore and the colors of the rainbow in order.
It was broadcast with vocals by Yuichiro Hanada and Atsuko Ono as the “Song of the Month” for April 2020 on NHK E-TV’s Okaasan to Issho.
Created by Yujin Kitagawa of Yuzu, the piece is designed to naturally nurture children’s interest in nature and the universe.
It encourages kids to explore the world with a spirit of adventure and enjoy it with rich imagination.
The track is included on the album “Saishin Best: Uchuu ni Muchuu,” and is characterized by an upbeat, bright tempo that’s perfect for parachute (para-balloon) performances.
With lyrics that spark children’s curiosity and simple, easy-to-remember choreography, it’s ideal for group performances at sports days and school recitals.
La La La ExercisegaagaaS

This is a simple song that’s easy for children to sing and a workout that makes you feel happy.
Created by gaagaaS, a popular kids’ music unit known for children’s play songs, the series starts with deep breathing and includes basic movements like balancing and rotating the body, allowing for a solid exercise routine.
The lyrics and choreography are mostly synchronized, so even if you don’t remember the moves, listening to the song helps you understand how to move your body.
Be sure to sing and dance together with lots of energy!
Real Gonekāzu

One of the charms of Disney movies is anthropomorphism.
Snowmen talk, and cars and airplanes have human-like personalities—there are all sorts of elements that spark children’s imagination and curiosity.
The film Cars is like that too.
It’s not just a simple good-versus-evil story; friendship and love run deep beneath it all.
Sheryl Crow’s song “Real Gone” pairs perfectly with a cool dance.
It’s also a great BGM choice for school sports days during sprints or relays.
The Cars soundtrack is packed with tracks you can use, including songs by Chuck Berry and Rascal Flatts.
Koo Lu LeeTōkyō Dizunīrando Beimakkusu

This is a lively, friendly dance track used for the Baymax’s Happy Ride attraction at Tokyo Disneyland.
It’s a song that lets you feel the fun of moving your body to the rhythm, featuring original choreography that uses both hands and feet.
Kids can pick it up quickly, making it perfect for school sports days and recreational dances.
Just like the attraction, it brings out energetic movements and smiles, brightening the atmosphere across the venue.
It’s also easy to add your own arrangements, encouraging creativity from each team—another big draw.
The content is easy to incorporate into recitals as well.
Highly recommended as a dance track that both performers and spectators can enjoy together.
[Dance] Children’s Kabukihiromichi & tanizou

The dance for Children’s Kabuki looks incredibly powerful and cool when performed by five-year-olds! The song gives a pop impression, but the choreography is packed with many Kabuki elements, making it a performance you can’t help but watch intently.
If you match the costumes to the music with a Kabuki-like, traditional Japanese look and incorporate Kabuki makeup, it adds even more impact.
Since many of the moves are very dynamic, this is an idea we definitely recommend to teachers who want their older kindergarteners to showcase a uniquely powerful dance.
[Dance] Love has burst forthyuzu

The dance “Koi Hajikemashita,” with its eye-catching costumes for the children, looks like it will really liven up the recital.
Because the song is rhythmic, the children may find it easy to join practice and remember the choreography.
Let’s incorporate simple, easy-to-remember moves suitable for the older kindergarteners.
For the costumes, let’s make them easy to move in and suitable for dancing.
Adding sparkly materials to the outfits might boost the children’s motivation.
I hope it becomes a recital that leaves lasting memories.
