If you’re looking to dance to a Vocaloid track, how about trying “Phony”? Released in 2021 by Vocaloid producer Tsumiki, it’s a popular song that many singers have covered.
Even though there’s no official choreography, lots of dance videos have been uploaded.
The tempo is a bit fast for kids, but that’s exactly why simple choreography works! Some creators share easy-to-follow moves that even children can dance to, so be sure to use those as a reference and give it a try!
HabitSEKAI NO OWARI
Habit attracted major attention in 2022 and became the song with which SEKAI NO OWARI won the Japan Record Award’s Grand Prize for the first time.
It was used as the theme song for the film ‘xxxHOLiC,’ and the dance performed in the music video was widely imitated, including by celebrities, becoming a hot topic.
While it can be tough to copy it exactly, it’s recommended to keep the distinctive choreography and change the rest to easier-to-dance moves.
Dance energetically to this cool track and surprise everyone around you!
I wish you lots of happinessnaniwa danshi
A seven-member idol group wildly popular with kids, Naniwa Danshi, has a song that’s creating a buzz.
Also used as the theme song for a morning information program, this piece is a cheer song written specially by Yuzu’s Yujin Kitagawa.
Released in April 2022 as their second single, it features a melody that gently shines through like the morning sun.
With lyrics that carry the message, “An ordinary today will surely lead to a shining future,” it’s sure to resonate with children’s hearts.
There’s also simple, easy-to-remember choreography, so you can dance along and have fun with your kids.
It’s the perfect track for a morning energy boost—be sure to listen together as a family!

Looking for a song to lift your spirits? This track by Yuzu is perfect! With an upbeat rhythm, it’s a tune that both kids and adults can dance to together.
The simple choreography makes it easy for anyone to join in.
The sound of bells and the cymbal rhythm help guide the dance moves, too.
Featured on the mini-album “Smile,” released in July 2003, this song topped the Oricon Weekly Album Chart.
It’s a great pick for events like sports days or parties when you want everyone to have fun.
The lyrics, which celebrate the power of smiles, will warm your heart.

StarmineDa-iCE
Da-iCE has released a song themed around fireworks that color the summer night sky, depicting the brilliance of life and the spirit of challenge.
Filled with a forward-looking message of hope for the future and memorable Edo-style chants that evoke the lively atmosphere of festivals, the track stands out.
Written and composed by Taiki Kudo, with choreography by shoji of the male dance group s**t kingz, it was released as a digital-only single in August 2022 and later included on the album “SCENE,” released in May of the following year.
The song won the Excellence Award at the 64th Japan Record Awards and the MTV Breakthrough Song at MTV VMAJ 2022, making it an essential track for creating summer memories.
It’s perfect not only for fireworks festivals and traditional celebrations, but also as a hype song for dance and party performances.
Ninjari Ban Bankyarī pamyu pamyu
Kyary Pamyu Pamyu, known for her colorful, flashy fashion often described as Harajuku style, has captured worldwide attention as “kawaii.” Not only is her fashion adorable, but her voice is also cute and distinctive.
Her songs are mostly in the techno and dance music genres, produced by Yasutaka Nakata, who also composes for Perfume.
Her dances feature many cute, pop-style choreographies, and it’s great how her overall style is consistently unified.
The song “Ninjari Ban Ban” has comical choreography, so I think kids can enjoy dancing to it as well.
Dancing HeroOginome Yōko
The song, released in 1985, made a comeback in 2017 when the dance club of Tomioka High School in Osaka performed it as the “Bubble Dance.” When you dance it, be sure to go all-in with a bubbly, shoulder-padded outfit and bold, thick-eyebrow makeup.
Even at the time of the original release, there were hand and foot moves in the intro and other parts, and you’ll often see people dancing those as well.
It might be fun to try mixing both the 1985-era moves and the Bubble Dance together.
