Queens, and it’s also well known that covers by Momoiro Clover Z and Golden Bomber have been used as opening themes over the years.

100% CourageHikaru GENJI

This is the 21st single by Hikaru GENJI, an idol group from Johnny’s that enjoyed massive popularity from the late 1980s to the early 1990s.

It’s famous as the theme song for the TV anime Nintama Rantarō, and because it has been passed down and sung by junior Johnny’s groups, it’s a number that people of any generation are likely to know.

Although it sounds difficult due to the frequent melodic leaps in parts like the A verse, children who know the tune from hearing it in real time will likely learn it quickly.

Since the chorus has less pitch movement, it’s a song where kids—who can really project their voices in the most powerful part—can more easily aim for a high score.

This is the 11th single by singer-songwriter Gen Hoshino, who is now a household name with numerous acting roles and commercial appearances.

Written specifically as the theme song for the film Doraemon the Movie: Nobita’s Treasure Island, the lyrics evoke a nostalgic feeling that reflects the world and setting of the work, just as the title suggests.

Although the rhythm—especially in the A section—is tight and complex, the melody has few leaps and often moves on the same pitch, so once you learn it, it’s a fun song to sing.

There aren’t many fast phrases either, making it easy for children to sing and a solid choice for aiming at a high score.

This is AKB48’s 32nd major single, which also drew attention for being the first time Rino Sashihara—who has gone on to great success after graduating from the group and become indispensable on variety shows—served as center.

With its catchy melody and easy-to-copy dance, the song was embraced by a wide range of listeners, so chances are everyone has heard it at least once.

Although it’s a glamorous track, the melody flows at a relaxed pace, making it easy to sing even for children who don’t usually sing much.

However, if you’re aiming for a high score, it might be better to focus on the vocals rather than dancing at the same time.
