Japanese bands recommended for children
I think bands with a lot of tie-ins are good recommendations for kids.
Since there are many chances to hear them, the songs stick in your ears more easily, and that’s enough to spark an interest in the band.
There are also many bands that sing songs matching anime and dramas, so the music will likely come back to life along with the visuals.
