Kiramai Dance
We’re now in an era where even Super Sentai heroes dance! In the ending theme of Mashin Sentai Kiramager, which has been airing since March 2020, the five Kiramagers dance along to the music! The choreography includes cool moves inspired by their vehicle motifs, making it easy and fun for kids to imitate.
Girls can enjoy it too—so not just boys, but girls as well, like Kiramai Pink and Kiramai Green, should give it a try together.
Become a hero through dance!
SUPER SHIRO
This song is especially recommended for kids who love the anime Crayon Shin-chan! It’s the theme song for the short animation SUPER SHIRO.
The “Super Shiro Exercise,” a dance set to the theme, features an adorably relaxed choreography that perfectly matches the gentle tune.
Both the melody and the moves are easy for preschoolers to learn, so after dancing a few times they’ll pick it up quickly.
Try becoming Shiro and dance together with everyone.
It’s sure to soothe you!
Shakariki! Soran Samba
This is a rhythmic dance track that blends Soran Bushi, a folk dance beloved throughout Japan, with South American samba! As you’ll hear, its irresistible groove makes you want to dance from the bottom of your heart.
Even if you don’t know the choreography, your body will start moving on its own.
To really amp up a recital or sports day, a happy song like this is perfect! As in the video, it’s ideal to prepare props like pom-poms, but if you dance energetically with a big smile, that alone will be a huge success!
superstar
Superstar, sung by Ketsumeishi and featured as the theme song for the popular children’s anime Crayon Shin-chan.
Its super cool, danceable sound lifts your spirits right from the start! In October 2020, a dance video using the anime version was released, so you can practice the moves with Shin-chan.
The lyrics are very uplifting too, and listening to the song makes you feel energized and ready to take on new challenges.
Be sure to try dancing along while you watch the anime!

Full-Power Boy
One of Sukima Switch’s signature numbers is “Zenryoku Shonen.” Its bright, energetic vibe makes it perfect for kids to dance to! Since it was used as the end song for the Disney movie “Onward,” it likely gave children who didn’t know it when it was first released a chance to discover the track.
There are creators on video sites who share choreography that’s easy for kids to follow, so be sure to check them out! The fun melody is also perfect for dances at events like school sports days.
STAYIN’ ALIVE
This is the track chosen as the theme song for the drama “Top Knife: The Genius Neurosurgeon’s Conditions,” starring Yuki Amami.
The dance performed by the cast at the end of each episode became a hot topic.
While the drama’s content targets adults, this upbeat, danceable song will likely make kids want to try dancing too! The choreography itself may feel quite challenging, but with slow, steady practice, you’ll be fine.
If you can pull off this difficult dance stylishly at events like sports days or school performances, you’ll surely become someone others look up to!
Make you happy
NiziU, the girl group that became a hot topic in 2020.
They also drew attention by performing their pre-debut song “Make you happy” at the Kouhaku Uta Gassen.
And when you think of “Make you happy,” it’s the “jump-rope dance”—it’s so cute that people of all ages were captivated by it.
And when kids dance it… it’s just adorable! The choreography is a bit tricky, but a jump-rope dance is sure to get the crowd pumped up!
