Fruit Dance Roundup!
Fruit Dance roundup! Let’s have fun dancing to a medley of songs.
The tracks feature pineapple, banana, fruit punch, and more.
The key is a cute dance where you say the names of the fruits as you move.
The fruit names are repeated throughout the lyrics, making the songs easy to remember.
The choreography is simple with many repeated moves, so it’s enjoyable for a wide range of ages—from little kids to older children alike.
Dynamite
Dynamite is a smash hit by the globally popular Korean male group BTS.
It was even nominated for a Grammy, and many people copied the choreography and danced along.
Plenty of kids probably want to try dancing to this song too! But the dances performed by the BTS members can be a bit challenging even for adults, and they can feel even harder for younger children.
Don’t worry, though! Because so many people dance to this song, video platforms are full of simplified versions that make it easy for little kids to follow along.
How about mastering this worldwide hit and surprising Mom and Dad with a cool performance?

Shinako’s “Shinako World” is a poppy, catchy song that kids can enjoy together.
The lyrics, themed around “freedom” and “being yourself,” carry a message that resonates with children.
With its rhythmic melody and bright tone, it’s gaining popularity on TikTok.
The dance performance is also getting attention, making it a perfect choice for kids’ dance.
It was reportedly showcased at Okinawa Collection 2024 as well.
It’s a song that little ones and lower-grade students can dance to energetically and have fun with, so it’s also recommended for events like sports days and recitals.

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!
Beep-beep-beep-beep★Pikachu
There are lots of kids who love Pokémon, right? Among them, Pikachu is so popular that there are even parades at events.
“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!
Happy Jam Jam
This song was released as the ending theme for the anime Shimajiro: A World of WOW!.
Among the many long-running series featuring Shimajiro, it has remained especially popular and well loved.
Its light, buoyant rhythm vividly conveys the fun of dancing with friends.
The inclusion of more complex moves—such as hand motions coordinated with the steps—is another highlight.
Learning the choreography itself is likely part of the fun.
Above all, it’s a track that emphasizes a sense of unity and joy.
The railroad tracks go on forever.
This song, which sings of railroad tracks stretching on forever, gives a wonderful, hope-filled impression of moving toward the future while traveling by train with friends.
When you sing it while imagining the changing scenery—over hills and fields—it makes you feel the excitement of setting off on an adventure.
Since it first aired on NHK’s “Minna no Uta” in December 1962, it has been loved for many years.
In 2021, the rock band Yabai T-Shirts Yasan arranged it as a commercial song for “Momotaro Dentetsu,” which became a hot topic.
How about singing it at a recital with everyone linked together like a train? Holding hands or putting arms around each other’s shoulders while singing will deepen the joy of cooperation and the sense of unity.
It’s a highly recommended piece that can bring out children’s smiles with a lively, spirited chorus.
