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.

Disney and Mickey are hugely popular with children.

This dance is set to Disney music like the Mickey Mouse March, and because familiar songs appear one after another, kids are sure to have a great time.

It’s also perfect as a warm-up.

The choreography doesn’t change rapidly; you repeat the same movement several times before moving on to the next, making it easy to learn and easy to recover even if you make a mistake.

Plus, the moves match the feel of the songs, so it’s easy to get into the rhythm.

YOASOBI "Adventure" Official Music Video

Many children are probably counting the days until their sports day.

The song I’d like to introduce is “Adventure.” It’s a track YOASOBI wrote based on a student’s story about visiting Universal Studios Japan.

Set to a refreshing melody, it sings about the excitement of visiting the park and the special feeling of that day.

Try swapping the park for your sports day and approach it that way.

If you listen on the day, you’ll relate to it even more.

I hope you’ll express that joy to the fullest through dance.
