Dancing Ball Toss: Fun Songs for Ball Toss at Sports Day (21–30)
Zankyo SankaAimer
Aimer’s “Zankyou Sanka,” used as the opening theme for the hugely popular kids’ anime Demon Slayer: Kimetsu no Yaiba – Entertainment District Arc, is probably a song that many children want to dance to.
Released in 2022 alongside the ending theme “Asa ga Kuru,” the track is striking for its Japanese flair that evokes scenes from the anime and its driving pace that suggests fierce battles.
Try dancing to it in a cool way, incorporating the various movements that appear in Demon Slayer!
paprikaFoorin
Foorin, who won the 61st Japan Record Awards as the youngest recipients in history, delivered Paprika, a song that can truly be called a nationwide mega-hit.
The music video for Paprika has surpassed 100 million views, and Foorin also performed at NHK’s year-end Kohaku Uta Gassen.
The choreography, created to be easy for children to imitate, became a huge hit as well.
I imagine there are many kids who can dance it without any practice.
With its relaxed tempo and easy-to-remember moves, it’s perfect for schools with tight rehearsal schedules.
You could use the chorus for a dance segment and make the A and B verses a beanbag-toss time.

Snow Man, who debuted in 2020, has a vibe that’s a bit different from past groups from the former Johnny’s, right? Their tracks, packed with EDM elements, are easy to groove to, and their dancing is super cool! I think this song is perfect for a “dancing tamaire” (beanbag-toss) event, too.

As the title suggests, the lyrics are all about the spirit of taking on challenges, making it perfect for a team-based tamaire.

Maru Maru Mori Mori!Kaoru to Tomoki, tama ni Mukku.
Famous as the theme song of the drama “Marumo no Okite,” this tune is something I think everyone—from elementary schoolers to grandparents—has heard at least once.
If you use it for a beanbag toss song, its cute melody will turn the sports day into a heartwarming mood with its background music!

Brimming with a bright and positive vibe, this song was released in May 2024 as EXILE B HAPPY’s debut single.

He is the pirate.Kurausu Baderuto
Here is the indispensable theme song from Pirates of the Caribbean for tamaire (ball-toss game).
It was composed by Klaus Badelt, a composer from Frankfurt, Germany who has worked on a variety of film scores.
Among his many works, this piece is especially striking—just hearing it conjures images of valiant pirate battles and is sure to boost morale for tamaire.
