Anpanman Ondo
Everyone loves Anpanman! Here’s a Bon-odori-style song from Anpanman that’s perfect for festival time.
Even if you’re not familiar with Bon Odori, an Anpanman dance tune makes it easy for kids to join in! With simple choreography, you can enjoy the festive mood.
It’s great for events like summer festivals at kindergartens, or you could try a little dance when you go to a festival with friends.
Wearing a yukata or a festival happi coat adds to the atmosphere, so it’s highly recommended!
Bean Squad Bibin-Biin
The NHK program “Okaasan to Issho” featured the September 2017 song “Omame Sentai Bibinbi~n.” As soon as it was released, it quickly became a big hit with children.
The lyrics are by Morichiyoko and the music is by Yasuo Kosugi.
It’s a song about bean heroes who aim for love and peace, so kids who love beans and heroes will definitely want to dance to it.
The lyrics are quite funny, so adults will enjoy listening too!
Cap Dance Party
This is “Cap Dance Party” from the kids’ dance and music educational website Japo Kids.
You dance using a hat as a prop.
Since no special props are required, you can dance at home.
The choreography involves little movement forward, backward, left, or right, and has you spinning in place, so it works even in small rooms.
It’s packed with cool moves boys are likely to love, like shaking your shoulders and forming a finger gun to shoot.
Banana-kun Exercise
This is a gymnastics song themed around bananas, which kids love.
It’s included in the 2013 release “Toshihiko Shinzawa × Kumahachi Morino: We Love Food! Hungry Tummy Songbook.” The lyrics about a banana going on a journey are adorable, and the choreography—moving both feet to the rhythm and swaying your body with hands raised in a “banzai” pose—features big, easy-to-understand movements, making it easy for little children to dance along.
I think it’s a routine that even younger preschoolers could master!
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.
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.
Ebi Kanics
“Ebi Kanics” is said to have been first released in 2001.
Since then, many years have passed, and it has become a hugely popular dance song among children.
The scenes of characters dressed as shrimp and crabs dancing humorously never fail to capture kids’ hearts.
If you plan to include it in a school performance or similar event, it would be wonderful to dance it in matching, cute costumes!
