[Dancing Tamaire] Fun songs for beanbag toss at sports day (31–40)
Mickey Mouse March
If you want to make tamaire extra fun, this is a sure bet: a globally beloved song.
It hardly needs an introduction—the theme song of the hugely popular character Mickey Mouse, adored by everyone from small children to adults, originally used as a TV show’s opening theme.
Just a moment of the intro is enough to know exactly what it is.
Countless artists have covered it, and there are innumerable arrangement versions, so be sure to look for a style that matches your own image.
100% CourageHikaru GENJI
It’s a classic song for kids as the theme of the anime “Nintama Rantaro”! It’s still being passed down by Johnny’s groups and is known across generations.
This track is often used as a dance song at nurseries and kindergartens, so it’s great for both regular tamaire (beanbag toss) and dancing tamaire.
Why not use it as background music that kids will love?
NIPPONShiina Ringo
“NIPPON” is a song Ringo Sheena wrote at NHK’s request as the theme music for NHK’s soccer broadcasts in 2014.
The track has faced some criticism, but it’s a popular song that nearly everyone has heard.
Its driving, fast-paced sound feels great, and since it was created as a fight song, it seems like it could give you strength when something’s on the line.
If you want a rush of excitement when it’s time to battle, why not use this track as your BGM?
RAM-PAM-PAMSixTONES
The intro guitar sound is instantly cool, but it’s the incredibly catchy chorus that really stands out and pulls you in.
This track is by SixTONES, who debuted in 2020 alongside Snow Man.
The solid, heavy beat is awesome and gives the song a rock vibe.
Of course, it’s perfect as BGM for Dancing Tamaire—both for dancing and for the ball-tossing part.
It’s guaranteed to get everyone hyped, and it’s definitely a track to watch from here on out.
Racing into the NightYOASOBI
Put on this track and it instantly becomes a stylish tamaire (ball-toss) time! It’s a signature work by YOASOBI, the popular music duo also known for hits like “Gunjou” and “Kaibutsu,” released in 2019.
The song is based on the short story “The Temptation of Thanatos.” The rolling piano sound combined with vocalist ikura’s soaring voice creates a one-of-a-kind world.
While its chic vibe tends to grab the spotlight, it’s actually quite fast-paced, making it perfect for a sports day event.

Heaven and HellJakku Offenbakku
Offenbach’s “Orpheus in the Underworld” is a classic for footraces, but it’s actually super popular for the ball-toss game (tamaire) too! As you listen, it makes you feel increasingly rushed, heightening the excitement and suspense of the event.
Lately, “dancing tamaire” has been trending, and it would be exciting to switch to a lively track for the dance part and then switch to this piece for the ball-toss part.
Definitely consider experimenting with different ways to use various songs!

Fischer’s is a seven-member Japanese YouTuber group.
They were formed in 2010 by classmates from the same junior high school when they graduated.
If you do tamaire (ball-toss game) to a song by this YouTuber group—who are currently popular even among elementary school students—it should boost everyone’s excitement for the game.
This particular song has a great tempo and is a perfect fit for tamaire, so I recommend it.
