Ta-da-da-da-daaa!
Panpaka Panpan Paan is a song that gives you courage when your environment changes or when you start something new.
Its toe-tapping rhythm will brighten your mood just by listening.
If you’re using it for recreation, why not enjoy a dance to this tune? Form a circle and spin around hand in hand, gather in the center, or simply raise both hands—you’ll still have plenty of fun.
It’s also perfect as a dance song for a school sports day!
Green light from the blue sky
Known as a song from “With Daddy,” “Blue-Sky Go Sign” is a lovely track that gives the impression that once you take the leap, there are wonderful days waiting under the blue sky.
The blue sky feels like the start of a fun time, doesn’t it? It’s a song that’s enjoyable just to sing, so how about singing it while keeping rhythm with castanets or a tambourine? It also works great as a dance number—with lively choreography, it’s perfect for events like sports days.
GeGeGe no KitaroAdo
A yokai beloved by children, too.
Many adults are also familiar with the GeGeGe no Kitaro song.
Its fun rhythm entertains kids even at a relaxed tempo.
The gentle sound of “Tanoshii na, tanoshii na” naturally brings smiles.
The lyric “Obake nya gakkō mo shiken mo nannimo nai” helps everyone feel calm and easygoing together.
And the nighttime line “Obake wa shinanai, byōki mo nannimo nai” adds to the sense that ghosts aren’t scary—you can even feel like being friends with them.
Overall, the mix of a pleasant rhythm, kind lyrics, and a touch of adventure makes you want to move your body freely and have fun.
Song of the EarthHanada Yuuichirou
This is the January 2023 song from “Okaasan to Issho,” featuring a friendly, energetic melody and a message to keep singing “the Earth’s loving song” forever.
“Chikyuu no Uta” (The Earth’s Song) was written and composed by Osamu Sakata, the 7th “Uta no Onii-san,” and carries a warm message that children will continue to sing this love song from the Earth.
Arranged by Takeshi Ike, the bright, refreshing arrangement truly shines.
The video, set in a white studio sprinkled with colorful animation, makes it a pop masterpiece that will have both adults and children wanting to sing and dance along.
Hyurara boon-boon!Hanada Yuuichirou, Nagata Maya
Let me introduce a song that gets everyone from kids to adults pumped up: “Hyura Love Boom Boom!” It’s a pop, happy track that’s perfect for shaking off morning drowsiness or lifting your spirits when you’re feeling low.
First performed in March 2024, the song was written and composed by Nobuhiro Mitomo.
From the intro to the very end, it stays consistently rhythmic, and with many repeated lyrics, it’s easy for children to remember.
Plus, dancing along with the energetic choreography is sure to boost your mood!
Age-age donuts
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.
Exciting Parade
Let me introduce “Ukiki Parade,” which radiates a bright and cheerful vibe.
It’s a rhythmic dance that will definitely make you want to move your body.
For movements like during a parade march, try walking as if you’re marching while moving your arms and legs.
The key is to vary the movements by stepping forward and backward.
The upbeat, positive lyrics alone might give you an energy boost just by listening.
Hum along and have fun together with the children.
