Beep-beep-beep-beep★Pikachu

“Pipipipi★Pikachu” is an idol song modeled after Pikachu.
Let’s all dance together to this pop and cute tune.
If you add lovely outfits—like fluttery, flaring skirts or hats for boys—you can get that recital vibe.
It’s also fun to have someone dance as Pikachu.
Go all out and show off the cuteness!
Booo!
TOKOTOKO’s popular song “Booo!” is a cute dance number with a storyline when performed as a pair.
The lyrics depict a boy and girl having a bit of a tiff, and the choreography is full of moments that capture their back-and-forth.
There are parts where you dance with an angry expression, and others where you smile and take each other’s hands—it’s a song that makes it fun for the audience to watch, too.
Many practice videos have been uploaded, so check them out for reference.
It works well with a mixed pair or two girls.
Happiness Is HereTōkyō Dizunī Rizōto
From 2013 to 2018, the main song played in Tokyo Disneyland’s daytime parade was “Happiness Is Here.” Centered on this track, the parade featured a Disney medley including titles like “Dumbo” and “Snow White.” As an aside, the previous parade, “Jubilation!,” was great too.
“Happiness Is Here” is very dance-friendly and easy to choreograph, allowing you to include lots of fun clapping and jumping sections.
Please also check out the choreography by various dance teams uploaded on video sites for reference.
It’s a highly recommended song that can be widely used from preschoolers to elementary school students.
Let’s go look for Morry’s seedgaagaaS
This is a song that invites you into a fun world of exploration, like setting off on an adventure with children! As the story travels through the jungle, the sea, tunnels, and even the sky, you can enjoy the choreography along the way.
Inspired by the story of Aeon Group’s mascot character “Lala-chan,” it was produced in 2018 as a tie-in with Aeon Fantasy.
gaagaaS handled both the music and choreography.
It’s filled with movements kids can enjoy together, like making glasses with their hands to peek through, swimming, and pretending to be a train.
Perfect not only for sports day performances but also for everyday early childhood activities—be sure to give it a try with your kids!
By now, Santa is probably…
The choreography where the children sway side to side in wonder is so adorable in “Santa wa Imagoro.” This song was performed around 1983 on the NHK educational program “Okaasan to Issho.” With lyrics by Hiroshi Namura and music by Taimei Ishikawa, it has a very simple, charming feel overall, making it a perfect piece to showcase at a dance recital.
When the sleigh bells sound, actually ringing bells or adding sparkly hand movements to the choreography would be super cute, too! Definitely give it a try.
I Am the Only One (Donbro Dance)Morisaki Win
A song by Win Morisaki, a male singer born in Yangon, Myanmar, who is also active as an actor in Japan.
It’s the opening theme of the tokusatsu show Avataro Sentai Donbrothers, and its R&B-flavored, groovy arrangement really boosts the excitement.
Since not everyone does the same moves, it might be challenging for younger children, but because it’s a dance from their favorite heroes, they might be able to learn it.
Try simplifying the tricky parts and turning it into a fun dance that kids can enjoy to a song they love.
Que Sera SeraYuko Suzuka
An energetic piece that brilliantly fuses traditional Japanese flair with a dance beat.
Released in June 2025, it was chosen as the ending theme for the TV Tokyo network anime Ninjala.
Yuko Suzuhana’s deeply controlled breathing, honed through shigin, further amplifies the power of this song that sings of a kunoichi’s pride.
The intense performance with 15 dancers in the music video is also breathtaking! When you need courage to take on a challenge, listening to it will surely give you a push forward!
