10 years as a kindergarten teacher / elementary school teacher / junior and senior high school teacher / childminderkepiko
Graduated from Kunitachi College of Music, Faculty of Music (now: Department of Music Culture and Education, Early Childhood Music Education major). In elementary school, my homeroom teacher was Jun Kusaba, a game researcher. After graduating from university, I worked as a kindergarten teacher for 10 years and as an after-school childcare instructor for 7 years, then took a position as a music teacher at an international school in Singapore. In addition to music education, I engaged in activities that introduced Japanese culture, traditional games, and recreational activities, working with many children. Later, through freelance writing, planning, and editing at Shogakukan, I met many delightful adults and experienced the joy of communicating and sharing. Drawing on the perspective cultivated in the field of education and my experience as an editor, I provide practical information with an emphasis on both input and output, mainly in areas related to music and children. My hobbies include instruments, singing, handicrafts, toys, drawing, traditional games, the outdoors, and books. My special skill is spinning-top tricks.
9 years of experience as a nursery school teacherShibata Risa
I am an active nursery school teacher with 9 years of experience. After graduating from university, I worked at a daycare center. The time I spent happily with children—playing piano, singing songs, and doing finger-play—are priceless memories to me. Currently, while raising three children of my own, I work at an after-school day service, engaging with children and providing individualized developmental support. Drawing on my diverse experiences as a childcare worker and as a mother, I hope to express and convey my thoughts through writing.

Donsukapanpan Cheer Squad

[Donsuka Panpan Cheer Squad] With Mother—Complete Choreography Version! Yoko Ueno

Donsukapanpan Cheer Squad

Don-Ska Pan-Pan Cheer Squad leaves a strong impression with its high-energy vibe.

It’s a song created for the NHK program “Okaasan to Issho,” first performed by Daisuke Yokoyama and Takumi Mitani.

The lyrics are packed with onomatopoeia and send encouragement to people who are doing their best.

Thanks to its message and its strangely catchy words, it spread by word of mouth and climbed high on the music charts.

Its unique choreography—like standing on one leg or folding your arms midway through—is another part of its charm.

We’d like to introduce a heartwarming song that aired on NHK’s “Okaasan to Issho” in March 2025.

Performed by Maya Nagata and Anzu Akimoto, it’s a bright, cute pop dance number.

Riding a light, upbeat rhythm, the song features an energetic melody that brings a rosy glow to your cheeks.

Joining the two “big sisters” is Mimomo, a girl kappa, making for a unique segment in the program as all three don pink outfits and perform matching choreography.

There are delightful touches that both children and parents can enjoy, such as Mimomo appearing in her favorite polka-dot outfit.

It’s a wonderful song that lets families move their bodies together while feeling the arrival of spring.

OLA!!yuzu

How about everyone dancing together to a bright, pop song with an adorable Latin-flavored rhythm? This track is packed with exotic-sounding instruments and is easy to sing and dance to—kids can’t help but start swaying along.

It’s also famous as a theme song for the Crayon Shin-chan movie and was released in April 2015.

You can find it on Yuzu’s album TOWA as well.

With energetic choreography, it would be super cute to dance together with parents at events like sports days.

You could match the song’s title with colorful costumes, or have the kids transform into their favorite characters and dance—so much fun!

Happy Jam Jam | Song tied to the Shimajiro Concert [Official Shimajiro Channel]

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.
