DoraemonHoshino Gen

[For Sports Day Dance • Lower Elementary Grades] Doraemon / Gen Hoshino

Doraemon is a beloved national anime that has been cherished by children for many years.

Gen Hoshino released a song with the exact same title, “Doraemon,” which was also used as the theme song for the movies and the TV anime.

I think many children know this song from watching the movies and the TV show.

Although it’s not a dance-song genre, the music video includes choreography.

The moves are detailed and fast, so it’s on the difficult side.

However, children have great memories, and if they practice properly, I think they can learn it quickly without fear, so I highly recommend it!

♬ 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.
