Kids Will Get Excited! A Collection of Dance Song Ideas with Easy-to-Follow Rhythms (71–80)
Peekaboo
This is the dance song “Pikapika Boo” from NHK’s children’s program Inai Inai Baa!.
The word “peek-a-boo,” which appears in the lyrics, means “inai inai baa” in English.
Wouldn’t it be a perfect dance song for kids a little younger than kindergarteners—like for a daycare recital? Children dancing to this song must look adorable!
Bunbaboon
The exercise song “Bunbaboron,” familiar from NHK’s “Okaasan to Issho.” It was replaced by “Karada☆Dandan” in April 2019, but since this song was used on the show for many years, lots of kids still love it! I think being able to dance it perfectly starts around the senior kindergarten age, but it also has movements—like animal poses and tunnels—that are easy for younger children to imitate and enjoy.
It really gets their bodies moving, so it’s sure to be a big hit on days when you can’t play outside!
A I U E O music ♬
GReeeeN’s 2013 digital single “Aiueo Music♬” is a fun track where you can enjoy wordplay while dancing! It was tied up with various media, including serving as the opening theme for the anime LINE OFFLINE Salaryman and LINE TOWN.
A dance video collaboration was also released featuring GReeeeN, LINE’s characters, and choreographer Jonte’ Moaning, who works with top artists worldwide.
The dance is comical and looks doable for young children with a bit of practice, and there are even simpler versions uploaded on video sites.
Mixing and matching different people’s dance versions is a great way to enjoy it!
Kaiju Step Wandabada
This is the opening theme song for the NHK Educational TV anime “Kaiju Step Wandabada.” It’s performed by Keropons, who provide many songs and dances beloved by children.
The anime features adorable little kaiju, and this dance song charmingly portrays a lively, boisterous world.
It’s bright and cute—perfect for recitals and similar events.
Let’s go! Plarail Thomas
Boys love Plarail and Thomas the Tank Engine.
When Plarail Thomas celebrated its 25th anniversary in 2017, the anniversary song was “Let’s Go! Plarail Thomas!” The story of Thomas the Tank Engine is depicted properly, making it an irresistible dance song that kids who like Thomas can enjoy dancing to.
Ring the warning bell.
If he’s a boy, he’ll love Thomas the Tank Engine! “Blow the Whistle” is an original song that appears in the musical.
There are two types of choreography: one uses a brush to dance as if you’re cleaning Thomas, and the other includes motions like blowing the whistle and turning the wheels to cheer Thomas up.
It’s a short song, but it’s highly recommended for kids who love Thomas!
New EraAdo
Thanks to the smash hit “Usseewa,” which became a social phenomenon, the female singer Ado has been in the spotlight since her debut.
Her 10th single, “New Genesis,” was written as the theme song for the animated film ONE PIECE FILM RED, in which Ado serves as the singing voice for the character.
With its driving synth sound and energetic dance performance, it’s sure to liven up any school sports day.
As a song from a beloved anime, it’s also a great way to get kids excited—highly recommended as an uplifting, high-energy tune.
