La La La Exercise with gaagaaS♪ [Childcare/Dance/Exercise/Summer Vacation/Parenting/Children’s Songs]

It’s a simple song that kids can sing easily, and the exercise routine is sure to put you in a happy mood.

Part of a series by gaagaaS, a popular kids’ music unit known for children’s play songs, it lets you have fun dancing while still doing solid basic exercises—starting with deep breathing, then balancing, and rotating your body.

Another key point is that the lyrics are closely synced with the choreography, so even if you don’t remember the moves, listening to the song will pretty much tell you how to move your body.

Be sure to sing and dance with lots of energy!

The railroad tracks go on forever.

[♪ Song Anime] The Railroad Goes On Forever <Singers: Itchy & Naru> - The Railroad Goes On Forever, over fields, over mountains, over valleys~ ♪ [BonBon Academy]

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.

YOASOBI “Gunjou” Official Music Video

The 47th Sports Day Parachute Performance “Ultramarine”

A great recommendation for a group activity using a large, disc-shaped cloth called a “parachute” (paraballoon) is YOASOBI’s “Gunjō.” “Gunjō” is a digital-only single released by YOASOBI in 2020 and was also chosen as the entrance march for the National High School Baseball Invitational Tournament.

Parachute performances, where children work together to put on a routine, are very popular and give parents a chance to witness their children’s growth firsthand.

The song’s just-right tempo makes it easy to perform to, and its lyrics about the importance of striving toward your dreams are truly moving.

POKÉDANCEnanahira

[Official] “POKÉDANCE” Dance Practice by ENHYPEN — featuring partner Pokémon from past generations dancing

This piece is a fun dance tune set to charming electronic sounds and a light rhythm, celebrating friendship and the joy of new encounters.

Its English lyrics convey the message of “having fun with friends,” wrapping listeners in a warm atmosphere that brings smiles to everyone.

Released in February 2024, the song beautifully pairs Nanahira’s clear, expansive vocals with a cute melody, and the animated music video featuring partner Pokémon dancing became a hot topic.

A dance practice version by ENHYPEN was released at the same time, capturing the hearts of Pokémon fans.

With its rhythmic, upbeat vibe, it’s perfect for group performances like school sports festivals.

Pairing it with a balloon routine can make for an even more dazzling presentation.

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.

Age-age donuts

[Age Age Donuts] Look! Dance! Sing! So much fun! A super popular kids’ song loved by everyone! [With choreography]

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.
