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.

AMBITIOUS JAPAN！TOKIO
TOKIO is an idol rock band under Johnny & Associates that has been active since 1990.
Because they appear on popular shows like The! Tetsuwan DASH!!, there’s a generation of kids who don’t even realize they’re idols or a band, but since the members feel familiar, it’s a band they’re likely to grow fond of quickly.
