Anpanman Taiso (Anpanman Gymnastics)

A lively, high-energy song that makes classic sports day events even more fun! Its bright, positive lyrics lift children’s spirits, and the rhythmic melody and easy-to-follow choreography make everyone want to move naturally.

Released by Dreaming in March 1993, this track was also used as the ending theme for the TV anime “Anpanman.” The song carries a message of holding hands with friends and overcoming moments of lost confidence or loneliness together, making it a perfect choice to accompany the tamaire (ball-toss) event at school sports days.

Highly recommended for those looking for a song everyone can enjoy dancing to while coming up with choreography that incorporates tamaire motions with the children.

Working Vehicles 1 (with choreography)

Many young children love cars, don’t they? This song is great because you can learn about different kinds of working vehicles while singing along.

It even has choreography, so singing and dancing together should be lots of fun and make them really happy.

When you’re walking down the street with your child, it’s a good idea to point out any vehicles from the song that you spot.

[NHK] Susume! Sutten Sukk! With Mother (Okaasan to Issho) [Children’s Songs, Nursery Rhymes, Hand Games, Kids, Dance] Japanese Children’s Song, Nursery Rhymes

This song is from “Okaasan to Issho.” It was created by three people who are active as creators on various E-TV programs: Ms.

Nagae Kuwahara, Mr.

Isao Yoshida, and Mr.

Takafumi Sugizaki.

They each handled the lyrics and composition, and the video production.

Sung to a melody reminiscent of a hero show theme, the song is about Sutten-Skook, who always gets back up no matter how many times he falls.

No matter how rough the road or how high the wall that stands in the way, Sutten-Skook stands up, overcomes it, and keeps moving forward.

Through this song, we hope children will feel the importance and strength of getting back up on their own, no matter what happens.

Ogre’s Pants

Japanese Children’s Song – Demon’s Underpants 3D! – Oni no Pants

This is a song about the very sturdy ogre’s pants.

The melody originally comes from the Italian song “Funiculì, Funiculà,” which was adapted into a children’s parody.

The lyrics say that no matter how long you wear an ogre’s pants, they never wear out—they’re strong and durable.

For a powerful ogre, even their pants have to be strong, right? Some kids might even find themselves admiring these ogre pants, which are not only extremely tough but also economical.
