Since its release in 1962, this children’s song has been beloved by many and is often sung on NHK’s “Okaasan to Issho.” While the title could have been “Osaru-san” (“Little Monkey”), the cute and catchy “Ai Ai” might make it easier to remember.
The chorus features call-and-response, so it’s a great song for everyone to get excited together at karaoke!
What shall we make with rock, scissors, paper?

Speaking of children’s songs, many of them are fun because you can enjoy them with choreography.
This song, which you can enjoy as a choreography song, also gets everyone excited at karaoke.
Of course, you can try creating your own original version, but performing something in front of the kids that you wouldn’t normally do or make in a kindergarten or nursery school gets a big laugh.
It’s fun when everyone tries it together, and even adults can enjoy it.
