This song, which sings of railroad tracks stretching on forever, gives a wonderful, hope-filled impression of moving toward the future while traveling by train with friends.

When you sing it while imagining the changing scenery—over hills and fields—it makes you feel the excitement of setting off on an adventure.

Since it first aired on NHK’s “Minna no Uta” in December 1962, it has been loved for many years.

In 2021, the rock band Yabai T-Shirts Yasan arranged it as a commercial song for “Momotaro Dentetsu,” which became a hot topic.

How about singing it at a recital with everyone linked together like a train? Holding hands or putting arms around each other’s shoulders while singing will deepen the joy of cooperation and the sense of unity.

It’s a highly recommended piece that can bring out children’s smiles with a lively, spirited chorus.

Theme of the Little Monster

Let’s move our arms and legs energetically while singing and dancing along to the theme song from “Hello! Little Monsters,” which features lots of cute monsters.

The dance is simple and easy to learn.

Also, movements like swinging your arms forward and backward can feel even more fun when you keep your face facing forward.

Because the tempo is rhythmic, it’s recommended for preschoolers, but even children from around age 1 can imitate and enjoy it! Try copying the parts you can and have fun together.

Toy Cha-Cha-Cha

“Toy Cha-Cha-Cha” (with choreography) [Japanese song / shoka]

The classic children’s song “Omocha no Cha-Cha-Cha” is an appealing piece with its bright rhythm and imaginative lyrics about toys coming to life at night.

Beyond being a dance tune, it can also be used for hand-play activities or as a theme for school performances.

Kids who love toys will be excited simply because the song and dance theme is “toys.” It would be fun to include choreography that lets them pretend to be toys and move freely.

It’s a highly recommended song that draws out children’s imagination.
