Yo-kai Exercise No. 1Dream5
The ending theme of a TV anime, sung by Dream5 and beloved by both children and adults, is creating a buzz.
This work charms listeners with its fun, upbeat style that portrays everyday little happenings—like oversleeping or being picky about food—as the doings of yokai.
Their 12th single, released in April 2014, was a tie-in with a TV Tokyo anime, and with choreography by Lucky Ikeda, it became a huge topic among children.
It’s a song that kids can enjoy moving their bodies to together, with easy-to-learn choreography that makes it a hit at nursery and kindergarten events.
It’s also recommended for parent-child recreation and as a dance for sports days.
PUI PUI won’t stopmomokurochan Z
The collaboration song between the educational program featuring Momokuro-chan Z, “Tobidase! GooChokiParty,” and “PUI PUI Molcar” is “PUI PUI wa Tomaranai.” It’s a pop track that samples the series’ adorable sound effects, crafted so both adults and children can enjoy it together.
The song has also drawn attention for its music video, which features a co-starring performance by Momokuro-chan Z and characters from “PUI PUI Molcar.” Be sure to check out their comical interactions.
What color do you like?Sakushi Sakkyoku: Sakata Osamu
You can almost picture a child cheerfully holding a crayon and saying, “This is my favorite color!” This magical song, which teaches the joy of expressing what you love out loud, was born from composer Osamu Sakata’s experience of children excitedly telling him their favorite colors one after another.
It debuted in June 1992 as NHK’s “Song of the Month” on Okaasan to Issho, and the album “Donna Iro ga Suki” was also released.
It might be fun to sing during drawing time and try to guess which crayon your child will pick up first!
Waltz dance in the snow
This is a dance set to a waltz-style arrangement of the children’s song “Yuki” (Snow).
It begins with a polite bow, then continues with choreography that evokes falling snow and the motions of building a snowman.
In the latter half, there’s also a move where you face a friend and do a high-five, making it a dance everyone can enjoy together.
In the video, the same choreography is performed at three different speeds—from slow to fast—so it’s great for practice, and it also looks fun to challenge yourself to see how fast you can keep up.
Exciting Parade
Let me introduce “Ukiki Parade,” which radiates a bright and cheerful vibe.
It’s a rhythmic dance that will definitely make you want to move your body.
For movements like during a parade march, try walking as if you’re marching while moving your arms and legs.
The key is to vary the movements by stepping forward and backward.
The upbeat, positive lyrics alone might give you an energy boost just by listening.
Hum along and have fun together with the children.
Applause for you!Hanada Yuuichirou, Nagata Maya, Fukuo Makoto, Akimoto Azuki
Clapping serves as the motif for a bright, refreshing cheer song, “Kimi ni Hakushu!” which appeared as the February 2023 song on NHK’s Okaasan to Issho.
The lyrics were written by the unit “Aritarou,” and the composition was handled by Taro Masuda himself.
Its rhythmic melody and handclaps resonate with fun! The lyrics are filled with positive phrases like “A round of applause for the one I love,” “A round of applause for being born,” and “A round of applause for the miracle that we met,” making it a song that brings energy and gratitude to both children and adults.
Be sure to listen while clapping along with your kids!
