Yo-kai Exercise No. 1 ~Continued~
The ending theme from the hit children’s anime Yo-kai Watch! While the ending theme at the time the anime aired, Yo-kai Exercise, is well known, Yo-kai Exercise 2 and then this Yo-kai Exercise 1: Continued were later created.
Choreography for all entries was handled by choreographer Lucky Ikeda.
The moves are simple and easy for kids to dance, making it a great pick for a variety of children’s events like sports days and recitals.
You could even split into groups and perform the entire series, including the “Continued” version!
Fish Heaven
The comical song “Osakana Tengoku,” featuring lots of fish, was first released on cassette tape in 1991, sung by Hiromi Shibaya, and later released twice on CD.
It’s often played at supermarket fish counters, so children who frequently go shopping with their moms or dads may find it very familiar.
The song itself has a catchy, pop melody that’s easy for kids to enjoy, and together with the humorous lyrics, it’s perfect for dancing! Learn about lots of fish, eat some fish, and dance your heart out with plenty of energy!
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!
Start Song
It’s a fast-paced song that’s really fun to dance to! Just like the title suggests—“Let’s start something!” “Let’s set off with energy!”—its bright tone and melody leave a strong impression.
If you’re performing at a recital or sports day, it might be a great choice to use right at the beginning as a song for everyone to dance to together.
Don’t worry too much about detailed choreography; the key is to dance energetically and with lots of momentum.
That way, it really feels like a ‘start song’!
Disney exercises
This is “Disney Exercise,” irresistible for Disney fans! Its unique melody and lyrics are fun to listen to and make you feel like you’ve become various Disney characters.
If you dance properly, it loosens up your whole body, and even little kids who find it hard to remember the choreography can enjoy it as a fun exercise song.
How about using it for morning exercises at home or in childcare settings? Of course, it’s perfect for preschool recitals, too! It would be great to dance in cute Disney character costumes.

Its lively, full-body dance is perfect for delivering energy—great for kids’ sports days, too.
Released in 1998, the song might evoke nostalgia for moms and dads.
In 2022, the number of young people dancing to it on TikTok surged.
It’s now a dance track known across generations!
Twinkle Stars
This is the theme song of the movie Pretty Cure: Star☆Twinkle Precure — Putting Our Feelings into the Song of the Stars, from the anime Precure, which is hugely popular among girls.
