Let's sing and dance along to popular songs! Recommended hit songs from children's shows (101–110)
It’s Hamu Hamu ON-DO, Ham-chans!
“Hamham ON-DO da, Ham-chans!” by the Ham-chans is an energetic Bon Odori dance song born from the anime Hamtaro.
All the small, cute characters make an appearance, and a lively rhythm unfolds that makes you want to dance.
With its brisk tempo, it’s fun to join in with call-and-response and hand claps, which will boost children’s eagerness to participate.
The instruments are lively, and the atmosphere builds in step with the song’s progression.
The vocal expressions are rich as well, with a structure that lets each character’s personality shine through.
Even children who don’t know the anime can enjoy it, and using it at summer festivals or school events will create a time filled with smiles.
Pokemon Ondo
Move your body to the rhythm! Here are some ideas for the “Pokémon Ondo.” The anime “Pokémon” is popular with both children and adults, but did you know there’s a song called “Pokémon Ondo”? Enjoy the summer festival to the beat of drums and bells in true Bon Odori style.
Familiar melodies and choreography that incorporates Pokémon names and traits are sure to capture children’s interest! The adorable sight of kids pretending to be Pokémon will definitely be a highlight.
Ondo Dango Three Brothers
Bon Odori version! Here’s an idea for “Ondo Dango 3 Kyodai.” It’s an arranged version of “Dango 3 Kyodai,” which has been loved by children since its 1999 release.
Keeping the same catchy lyrics and rhythm that stick in your head after just one listen, this version incorporates call-and-response shouts and taiko drums to create a Bon Odori arrangement! With its irresistibly singable, fun atmosphere, children will naturally join the circle and enjoy dancing.
It could also be fun to design choreography inspired by dango.
Muscat
This is a song that was also used as the opening theme for the TV anime Crayon Shin-chan.
Combined with the bright and energetic image of the artist Yuzu, I think there are people who say, “I don’t watch the anime, but I like this song.” The video for Yuzu’s “Muscat” ‘Sukkato Dance’ dance lesson also introduces a front-facing choreography.
The song is up-tempo, but the choreography doesn’t seem too difficult.
You could even swap out just the super-fast parts for your own original moves.
It’s sure to liven up a school sports day!
swallow
As part of its efforts to promote the SDGs, NHK has released the song and dance “Tsubame.” The catchy tune, familiar to children, was written and composed by Ayase from YOASOBI.
There are two dance versions—one for little swallows (children) and one for parent swallows—so you can tailor the approach to children’s ages and developmental stages.
On days or at times when you can’t play outside, why not enjoy dancing together? The adorable sight of children pretending to be swallows will surely soothe the teachers as well!

Thank you and goodbye ♪
This is a song filled with gratitude toward friends, featuring a gentle melody and friendly, approachable lyrics.
It wraps the positive feelings children have when taking a new step forward in the word “thank you.” Released in February 2001, the piece is sung by Shimajiro and his friends, and it is often performed at kindergarten and nursery school graduation ceremonies.
It conveys the beauty of the friendships nurtured through everyday memories spent together and lots of play.
It helps children overcome the sadness contained in “goodbye” with the word “thank you,” encouraging them as they head into new environments.
It’s a recommended song for children celebrating graduation or a new beginning, as well as for those who watch over their growth.
Ghost Party
A fun song packed with Halloween excitement is included on the September 2020 album “Shimajiro Ages 1–2: Hit Songs.” With its bright, rhythmic melody and a delightful world where friendly ghosts enjoy a party, it sparks children’s imaginations.
The energetic vocals by Shimajiro and Mana Ogawa are another highlight.
This track is perfect not only for Halloween-season events but also for daycare and kindergarten activities, as well as family parties—any occasion where kids can sing, dance, and have fun together with their friends!
