Happy Jam JamDizunī
This song was released as the ending theme for the anime Shimajiro: A World of WOW! It has long been loved as one of the most popular tracks in the long-running series featuring Shimajiro.
The light, buoyant rhythm—evoking friends joyfully dancing together—matches the tone of the show and leaves a strong impression.
Another highlight is the inclusion of more complex movements, such as hand motions coordinated with the steps, which makes mastering the choreography feel rewarding and fun.
It’s a song where the sense of unity and enjoyment feels more important than anything else.

The song “Su-Ma-I-Ru,” used as the opening theme for NHK’s children’s anime Nankappa, is by Moka Kamishiraishi, an actress who is also active as a singer.
Her older sister is Mone Kamishiraishi, and the two of them both pursue artistic careers.
“Su-Ma-I-Ru” is Moka Kamishiraishi’s CD debut song.
As the title suggests, it’s a cheerful number that makes you want to smile and hop around.
With a tempo perfect for dances at sports festivals and school performances, its lively, exuberant movements fit the music perfectly.
Banana Parent and ChildSakata Osamu
Lyrics and melodies that make children’s hearts skip a beat.
This song is an adorable piece depicting a banana parent and child living on a southern island.
The swaying bananas in the breeze are expressed through rhythmic lyrics.
Carried by Osamu Sakata’s gentle voice, the introduction of Papa Banana, Mama Banana, and Little Banana makes you want to hum along.
Broadcast on NHK’s “Okaasan to Issho,” it’s a hugely popular song among children.
Sing and dance together as a family, and you’re sure to have a wonderful time!
Is it a banana?Taniguchi Kunihiro
Tobidase! Goo Choki Party is an educational variety show featuring Momokuro-chan Z, a new project unit from Momoiro Clover Z.
Hiroshi Sato, the big brother figure, also appears, and the show presents songs, dances, rhythm games, and more to nurture children’s curiosity and imagination.
One of the songs performed on the program is “Banana nano?”—a catchy, mid-tempo number.
How about having the kids transform into banana-loving monkeys and dance along?
Let’s hang out!Hayami Kentarō
Atsuko Ono, the 21st “Uta no Onee-san” on NHK Educational TV’s “Okaasan to Issho,” made her debut with the song “Aou yo!” The composer is Kentaro Hayami, who was active as the 8th “Uta no Onii-san.” On the program, the big brother and big sister showed choreography that included waving their hands and stepping with their feet.
Young children are adorable just moving their bodies to the music.
Let’s have fun together by arranging the dance in various ways.
Ukiki OtoppeDJ shīna
The upbeat rhythm puts smiles on kids’ faces! It’s the opening theme of NHK’s anime “Otoppe,” which centers on the theme of “sound.” I’m sure many parents watch it together with their children.
The lyrics are packed with onomatopoeia—sound effects—that make you want to sing along.
Even little ones who don’t fully understand words yet can enjoy singing it.
