The bright, fun sound is of course appealing, but above all the choreography is adorable! You shake your arms and legs, play ‘Acchi Muite Hoi,’ and more.
It’s full of moves kids will want to imitate.
Even if they can’t do it perfectly, children in the younger classes and up should be able to copy it and dance along!

Where is this mushroom?
Dokonoko no Kinoko, a song previously aired on NHK’s program “Okaasan to Issho,” was originally performed by the Kyoto band Zahatorte.

The song is upbeat and catchy, making it perfect for kids to dance to! While copying the entire official choreography can be challenging, the chorus moves are relatively simple, and they’re very unique and fun.

I’ll walk home.
Aruite Kaerou, which was also used as the opening theme for the popular children’s show Ponkikies, is a song with a slow tempo that’s easy to dance to.
