Mi Mi Mimini MAX
It became a worldwide trend for young women to dance to this 2013 hit by the Russian female trio SEREBRO.
This dance version features Mini MAX performing the 2015 cover by Japan’s MAX.
There’s a cute charm to the contrast of elementary school kids doing a sexy-style dance, isn’t there?

Follow MeE-girls
E-girls’ third single “Follow Me,” released in 2012.
As you’d expect from E-girls, it’s a cute, feminine song with matching choreography! It’s a great pick for girls who love to dance.
The choreography is a bit challenging, so if elementary school kids around the middle grades are going to perform it, it might be better to simplify the moves a little.
AdventureYOASOBI
This song, which was featured in a Universal Studios Japan commercial and became a hot topic, is by YOASOBI, the musical duo of singer Rira Ikuta and Ayase, who is also known as a Vocaloid producer.
It was released digitally in 2023.
The refreshingly bright tone conjures an image of a clear blue sky spreading overhead.
With its easy-to-follow tempo and rhythm, even beginners to dance will find it approachable.
If you focus on moving your whole body with big motions, it should match the upbeat sound and atmosphere perfectly.
ain’t on the map yetNulbarich
A track included on the album H.O.T.
In the music video, tons of viewers wondered, “Who’s the boy dancing for his favorite teacher?” It turns out he was TAKERU, then a middle schooler and an incredible dancer who appeared in many commercials.
Even Daichi Miura reportedly praised him! It might be tough to imitate his refined moves from head to toe, but if you could pull it off, that special someone you admire might just think, “Amazing!”
No matter what I do, it’s no good.Okazaki Taiiku
Okazaki Taiiku’s song “Nani wo Yattemo Akan wa” (“Nothing I Do Works”).
This track was used as part of a project on the TV-and-online variety show “Tengo-chan,” where Okazaki Taiiku and the band Yabai T-Shirts Yasan played around with various concepts to popularize the appeal of belly drumming.
The choreography is simply “freely drum on your belly”! It might not qualify as a dance, but kids can have fun with just this.
Give belly drumming a try sometime!
HappinessAI
This song was created as a special Japan-only version in 2011, the year of the earthquake, for a Coca-Cola commercial.
The promotional video is set in a school, with AI playing roles such as the principal and a cleaning staff member.
In 2016, auditions were held for the backup dancers who would perform this song on AI’s tour, so it’s likely also known as a dance track.
flying getAKB48
AKB48, who are still active as a nationally beloved idol group, have a wide variety of songs—from pop numbers to cute tunes and cool tracks.
“Flying Get” is their 22nd single, released in 2011, and it won the prestigious Japan Record Award that year.
The song blends Latin and rock elements, making it easy for Japanese listeners to enjoy.
The choreography in the chorus is very catchy as well, so even children who don’t know the song can dance to it and have fun.
Highly recommended.
