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.
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!
SmileMori Nana
It’s a song that was featured in a commercial and became a hot topic.
The original is by the music duo Hoff Dylan, and this is a cover version by actress Nana Mori.
It was released as a digital single in 2020.
With its very pop sound and relaxed tempo, it’s sure to be a hit with kids.
As mentioned, there are many “I tried dancing” videos uploaded on YouTube and other video platforms, so be sure to look for choreography that suits you and your children.
Make you happyNiziU
As everyone knows, NiziU is a national girl group that debuted in 2020.
They’re loved by a wide range of people—young and old, men and women—and have many fans overseas as well.
“Make you happy” is the song they released when NiziU was formed and made their pre-debut.
It’s a signature track in which the members, having overcome many trials, finally blossom and captured the public’s attention.
The jump-rope dance in the chorus was imitated by many people.
It’s also a great recommendation as a kids’ dance song!
cherry (sweet cherry; cherry fruit)Otsuka Ai
This is a dance track by Ai Otsuka, whose girly sound and uplifting, catchy melody line create a bright and cute vibe.
The song is popular with both kids and adults and is often danced to.
When a group of girls dances to it, their performance alone feels charming and exciting.
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.
Cutie HoneyKōda Kumi
It’s not often that anime songs get covered with added dance routines, is it? Since they’re anime songs, I think they’re originally made to appeal to children as well, but adding dance makes them even more fun.
One such song is Kumi Koda’s cover of ‘Cutie Honey’! With its blend of cuteness and sexiness, it seems like even elementary school–age girls could dance to it and look cool.
The choreography isn’t exactly very difficult, but make sure you nail the finer techniques.
