Koo Lu LeeTōkyō Dizunīrando Beimakkusu
This is a lively, friendly dance track used for the Baymax’s Happy Ride attraction at Tokyo Disneyland.
It’s a song that lets you feel the fun of moving your body to the rhythm, featuring original choreography that uses both hands and feet.
Kids can pick it up quickly, making it perfect for school sports days and recreational dances.
Just like the attraction, it brings out energetic movements and smiles, brightening the atmosphere across the venue.
It’s also easy to add your own arrangements, encouraging creativity from each team—another big draw.
The content is easy to incorporate into recitals as well.
Highly recommended as a dance track that both performers and spectators can enjoy together.
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.
Obake bake bake gaccha!Keroponzu
If you want to get kids excited at a Halloween event, this song—where you can dance along with friendly ghosts—is highly recommended.
It was produced in October 2022 as a song provided to BMK and was selected as the theme song for the TV anime “Obake Zukan!” within TV Tokyo’s “Oha Suta.” Furthermore, in February 2023, a version sung by Keropons themselves was released, and in the music video—choreographed under the supervision of Ryuzo Fukuda—you can see everyone joyfully dancing with the ghosts.
Its upbeat, danceable rhythm and the thrilling world where ghosts appear are part of its charm, and it’s packed with easy-to-learn moves kids will want to copy.
Dance together with children dressed as ghosts or pumpkins at a Halloween party, and you’re sure to have a time full of smiles.
Little Ghost-chan DanceKutsuna Mika
This is a Halloween dance song written and composed by Mika Kutsuna, who is also active as a Eurhythmics instructor.
A cute little ghost takes center stage, and other charming characters appear as well.
With its lively rhythm and catchy melody, it’s perfect for moving your body and having fun with kids.
The piece features an upbeat vibe and adorable choreography, and it’s available on the YouTube channel “Niko-Oto Channel.” There are both a normal tempo and a sped-up version, so you can choose based on the level of excitement you want.
Dance with children dressed as ghosts and pumpkins at your Halloween party, and you’re sure to have a time full of smiles.
Drawing on her experience creating over 200 original curricula and teaching more than 2,000 children, Kutsuna crafts her music with kids in mind.
Hyurara boon-boon!Hanada Yuuichirou, Nagata Maya
Let me introduce a song that gets everyone from kids to adults pumped up: “Hyura Love Boom Boom!” It’s a pop, happy track that’s perfect for shaking off morning drowsiness or lifting your spirits when you’re feeling low.
First performed in March 2024, the song was written and composed by Nobuhiro Mitomo.
From the intro to the very end, it stays consistently rhythmic, and with many repeated lyrics, it’s easy for children to remember.
Plus, dancing along with the energetic choreography is sure to boost your mood!
Age-age donuts
We’d like to introduce a donut-themed song and dance called “Age-Age Donuts.” The upbeat tempo and feel-good lyrics are key points.
When the lyrics say “Age-Age Donuts,” extend both arms and strike a donut pose.
Matching movements to the lyrics and incorporating rhythmic motions will make the dance even more fun.
While asking everyone what flavor of donut they like, enjoy the dance as if you’re making delicious donuts together.
If you’re performing at a recital or event, we also recommend colorful costumes and decorations in donut-inspired colors.
Ta-da-da-da-daaa!
Panpaka Panpan Paan is a song that gives you courage when your environment changes or when you start something new.
Its toe-tapping rhythm will brighten your mood just by listening.
If you’re using it for recreation, why not enjoy a dance to this tune? Form a circle and spin around hand in hand, gather in the center, or simply raise both hands—you’ll still have plenty of fun.
It’s also perfect as a dance song for a school sports day!
