Happy Easter
Let me introduce “Happy Easter,” a fun activity where you enjoy expressing yourself with big, full-body movements.
In the spirit of Easter, you’ll pretend to be bunnies and eggs.
Imitate a rabbit by jumping, and use your hands to show its fur as you really get into character.
Spread your arms wide to make the shape of a big egg, too.
You can enjoy this any day, but it’s perfect for Easter events and parties.
Dressing up as a bunny might make it even more exciting.
Give it a try and have fun!
Jungle ExerciZOO!
A family creator group that uploads lots of fun YouTube videos featuring their youngest sister at the center! In their dance “Jungle ExerciZOO!,” many animals that live in the jungle make an appearance.
The choreography uses simple moves that evoke each animal, making it easy for even small children to copy.
With its catchy melody and lyrics, you’ll definitely find yourself wanting to sing and dance along.
The tempo picks up a bit at the end, so do your best to keep up!
Norimaki Pera Pari OndoHanada Yuuichirou, Nagata Maya
The lively, festival-style song Norimaki Pera Pari Ondo, which bursts with summer festival vibes, appeared in July 2022 as the “Song of the Month” on NHK’s Okaasan to Issho.
The lyrics are by Tomomi Fujimo, and the music is by veteran composer Yasuo Kosugi, who has created numerous songs for E-Tele.
Centered on the theme of norimaki (seaweed-wrapped rolls), its catchy “pera-to pari-to” rhythm sticks in your head, and the dazzling production and characters leave a strong impression.
Yuichiro Onii-san appears as Noriko, and Maya Onee-san as Makiko, making this an irresistibly addictive tune that naturally makes you crave norimaki just by watching!
We were born with a bang!Hanada Yuuichirou, Nagata Maya
An intro that starts with the sound of Japanese taiko drums makes a striking impression! Let me introduce “Bon! Tō umareta bokutachi wa.” Many people probably feel like listening to this song in the summer.
Popular on the show as the song for August 2025, it’s characterized by its rhythmic sounds and call-and-response shouts.
The lyrics are easy for kids to remember, making it a standout track.
Move your body to the calls and the music, and it’s guaranteed to get everyone excited! It should be easy to include at summer festivals and events, too.
It’s a song that’s fun to listen to and fun to dance to.

Crimson Lotus Flower
Let’s dance to the opening theme song of the anime Demon Slayer: Kimetsu no Yaiba, which was a big hit in 2019! Since the song isn’t originally a dance track, this routine features original choreography, but it’s designed for kids, so it should be easy to follow.
It seems some people have even learned this choreography and performed it at their school sports day.
Many elementary schoolers and older kids have watched the anime, so why not try it for events or as a fun exercise time at home? Give it a go together with everyone!
hungry mantis
“The Hungry Mantis,” a song featured on NHK’s children’s program “Okaasan to Issho.” It might seem odd from an adult’s perspective, but it’s packed with elements that captivate kids.
A hungry mantis eyes various creatures as potential prey, but after seeing how hard they’re all working, it decides to give up—it’s a gentle song about a kind mantis.
Adults also find themselves humming along before they know it.
mismatchedTHE SUPER FRUIT
The pop track Chiguhagu by the male idol group THE SUPER FRUIT is extremely popular, frequently featured in dance-cover videos and on TikTok.
The chorus lyrics and melody—“Chiguhagu Hagu Chiguhagu Hagu”—are irresistibly catchy.
With its bursting, energetic choreography, Chiguhagu is perfect to dance to at sports days or school performances.
Let the cute dance fill both the kids dancing and the audience watching with excitement!
