paprikaFoorin
A song written and composed by Kenshi Yonezu as a cheer anthem for the Tokyo Olympic and Paralympic Games.
It’s performed by Foorin, an elementary school group formed through NHK’s “2020 Support Song Project” auditions.
Since it’s danced by an elementary school group, the choreography consists of easy-to-copy moves.
The chorus features an impressive gesture that looks like paprika flowers blooming.
P.A.R.T.Y. ~Universe Festival~DA PUMP
Kamen Rider, hugely popular among boys! This is the theme song for the Kamen Rider movie “Kamen Rider Zi-O: Over Quartzer.” DA PUMP, who hit it big again with “U.S.A.,” bring us the “Baiin Dance” with this track! Just spread both arms up and down and sway your body to match the onomatopoeic “boing” feel.
While their routines are usually packed with tough moves, this kind of playful spirit is part of what makes DA PUMP’s dancing so fun! Get your buddies together and have a PARTY!

ReiwaGōruden Bonbā
The song Reiwa by Golden Bomber became a hot topic as the new era name song.
Speaking of Golden Bomber, they’re known for their hit song Memeshikute, which they performed several times on NHK’s Kohaku Uta Gassen.
Their catchy melody and dance performance that makes you want to get up and dance as soon as you see it are outstanding.
The choreography is simple enough that even children can learn it after watching a few times, so be sure to try dancing to it at karaoke.
One Night CarnivalKishidan
Kishidan’s signature song “One Night Carnival” caught fire in popularity after its 2002 release, leading them to perform it at the Kōhaku Uta Gassen two years in a row.
It’s also a popular karaoke crowd-pleaser, and many people choose to sing it.
The choreography—dancing para para in biker-gang-style outfits—is comical and entertaining.
While much of the lyrics may be hard for children to understand, the choreography in the song makes it enjoyable for kids as well.
MomotaroSuiyōbi no Campanella
A track by the musical unit Wednesday Campanella, fronted by KOM_I, who sings and goes wild onstage.
The theme of the song is the well-known folktale Momotaro.
However, the Momotaro who appears in this song seems quite different from the one in the folktale—he’s pretty lazy.
He doesn’t go demon-slaying and just lounges around playing games every day.
That’s what the dance expresses.
No matter if someone throws millet dumplings at him or tells him off, he absolutely refuses to go fight demons.
Please express through dance this stubborn, folktale-defying Momotaro who wants nothing to do with demon-slaying.
Under the Seasakkyoku: aran menken
With its lively calypso rhythm and the bright tones of steelpan, “Under the Sea” gives off a tropical vibe that lifts your spirits.
It’s a song from the Disney film The Little Mermaid.
Although the original was released in 1989, the 2023 live-action remake brought it back into the spotlight, so even young children may have heard it.
It’s perfect for kids’ dance routines and is also recommended for school sports days and recitals—give it a try!
Into the Unknown ~ As My Heart LeadsMatsu Takako
Frozen has lots of wonderful songs that kids want to imitate.
The sequel’s theme song, Into the Unknown, is a more mature piece sung by Elsa! Rather than a track for moving your body rhythmically, it’s recommended when you want to nurture expressive ability.
A dance that incorporates sign language is educational for adults as well.
