[Dance] We’re Little Pirates! [A Must-See for Preschool Teachers!] [Supervised by Hiromichi & Tanizou]

We’re Little Pirates! / Hiromichi & Tanizou

It’s a fun song that sparks children’s spirit of adventure.

You can just picture them becoming pirates and sailing across the great ocean.

This track is included on the album “Hiromichi & Tanizō’s Sports Day—Let’s Go Big!” released in March 2011.

It’s often used at nursery and kindergarten sports days, and since it’s a high-energy song that gets kids moving, I think it’s perfect for a sports day dance.

There’s also choreography that everyone can enjoy together, so be sure to try dancing it with the children.

Ninja Dance

From the drama centered on ninjas, “Ninja ni Kekkon wa Muzukashii” (Marriage Is Difficult for a Ninja), we’d like to introduce its theme song, “Ninja Dance.” You may have seen it on social media, where celebrities and characters dance to the track—so many of you might already know it.

The choreography is designed with ninja movements as its motif, which is a key highlight.

It’s a good idea to adjust the difficulty to match children’s ages.

There are some cool moves too, so start by learning the choreography slowly and practice at an easy pace.

Let me introduce Ninja Hattari-kun, which also serves as the theme song for the WOWOW original drama I Want to Hold Aono-kun So Badly I Could Die.

Tempalay’s Ninja Hattari-kun features a cool sound, and a key point is that the lyrics include ninjutsu techniques.

When practicing with children, it’s a good idea to use instruments like whistles to highlight key movements.

The rhythm is complex, so this is a recommended idea for preschoolers.
