♬ Ninja Hattari – Tempalay

Let me introduce Ninja Hattari-kun, which also serves as the theme song for the WOWOW original drama I Want to Hold Aono-kun So Badly I Could Die.

Tempalay’s Ninja Hattari-kun features a cool sound, and a key point is that the lyrics include ninjutsu techniques.

When practicing with children, it’s a good idea to use instruments like whistles to highlight key movements.

The rhythm is complex, so this is a recommended idea for preschoolers.

Let’s take a step into the future

Shimajiro movie insert song “♪ Let’s Take a Step Toward the Future” [Official Shimajiro Channel]

A bright, lively Shima Jiro song about the importance of friendship was born in March 2013 as an insert song for the film “Shimajiro and Fufu’s Great Adventure: Save the Rainbow Flower!” It gently conveys the feelings of the protagonists as they set out on a new journey, and its warm vocals—giving courage to take a step toward the future—leave a lasting impression.

The song has also become popular on the TV program “Shimajiro no Wao!” and makes children’s hearts bounce with joy.

It’s a fun tune that shines in many settings, from dancing at nursery and kindergarten events to singing together as a family.

It’s a reassuring companion that cheers on those first steps in a new environment.

Sea Dance

The Nippon Foundation “Umi to Nihon Project” Umi Dance

How about incorporating the “Umi Dance,” created for The Nippon Foundation’s Sea and Japan Project, into your childcare activities? Its easy-to-understand lyrics and dance help children learn what is good and what is not for the ocean environment.

Whether you live in a coastal area or far from the sea, a clean ocean is an essential part of our lives.

We hope it will spark children’s interest in how to protect the ocean.

Let’s have fun dancing the “Umi Dance” together with the kids.
