Kera Kera Rock-Paper-ScissorsNEW!kerakera
As a way to break the ice with children who are excited and a little nervous about the new environment during entrance ceremonies or class promotions, how about Kerakera’s “Kerakera Janken”? This song uses the universally known game of rock-paper-scissors as its motif and is a simple play-along tune where you just throw rock, scissors, or paper to the rhythm.
It’s a single released in October 2014 by the unit known for the theme song of the drama “Last Cinderella,” and it was later included on the album “Kerakeraland.” The music video also drew attention for featuring Nozomi Tsuji.
If you move your body in time with the shout-along lyrics, smiles are sure to follow.
Get the parents involved too, and try it as a recreational activity to get the whole venue buzzing.
Anpanman’s Marchdoriimingu
It’s the opening theme of Soreike! Anpanman, a beloved, nationally popular children’s anime.
With an easy-to-understand melody and lyrics, it’s a song you can let kids listen to with confidence, yet it’s also a profound piece that makes even adults think, with lines like “Why were we born, and what do we live for?”
100% Courage
It’s the unwavering theme song of the anime Nintama Rantarō, which has been a favorite after-school treat for children for many years.
It’s wonderful that the song we listened to back then is being passed down to our children’s generation.
When you come to understand the meaning of the lyrics, you’ve matured just a little—that’s the kind of song it is.
Curious GeorgeIwasaki Yoshimi
You might be a bit taken aback at first, since it starts off like a jazz tune, but once the singing begins it’s a fun anime song.
It has a vibe like children’s Western pop.
The melody naturally makes you keep time with your body, so it could be handy as a eurhythmics piece, too.
The lyrics, which invite you to head out in search of thrilling, heart-pounding adventures, are sure to delight children.
Odoru Pompoko RinMomoiro Kurōbā Zetto
It’s the opening song of the now-nationally beloved anime Chibi Maruko-chan.
The song has been passed down with different artists singing it since the show first aired.
In the B-melody there’s a part where you clap your hands, and during the famous chorus you can play along with choreography that mimics playing a flute.
It’s a hugely useful song when you want a simple performance idea for children’s events.
The Pupu and Humu Incident-Solving DanceIse Daiki
This is the theme song of Butt Detective, which is hugely popular as both a book and an anime.
The chorus just repeats the same phrase, but it’s the part you most want to sing.
It’s a mysterious melody that makes you want to shake your butt along with it.
It’s simply a fun song to listen to.
It might be difficult to use for children’s play routines or choral singing, but it could work well as background music for a fun time.
DoraemonHoshino Gen
It’s a song from Doraemon that everyone loves.
It first played as the theme song for the movie “Doraemon the Movie: Nobita’s Treasure Island,” and later it was also used as the opening theme for the TV broadcast of “Doraemon.” The “tan-tta-ta-ta, tan, tan” rhythm is very gentle and makes it easy to clap along, which is a distinctive feature.
I think it’s the perfect song for everyone to dance and sing together.
Since the tempo picks up toward the latter half, it’s also great as a track for running races.
With my favorite Doraemon song alongside me, I feel like I can do anything!
