Choo Choo TRAIN
It’s a song that’s popular regardless of age or gender.
The singing might be a bit difficult, but most school performances only do the dance, so I don’t think there’s anything to worry about.
If you can show off that classic wave during the chorus, it should really hype up the crowd.
Joyful
A lively Ikimonogakari song that makes you want to dance and gets you hyped! Since it was used in a Pocky commercial, I’m sure many of you have heard it.
With its opening rhythm and overall tempo, it’s perfect not only for dancing but also as a fight song!
My Mixed Juice
“Boku no Mix Juice” is a fun song that sparks children’s imaginations.
The lyrics, which combine unique ingredients to make an original juice, are perfect for nurturing kids’ creativity.
Singing along to the bright, poppy melody also naturally helps develop their expressive abilities.
The finger-play that represents various ingredients is effective for building a sense of rhythm and cooperation.
It’s a popular choice for performances at school events like recitals and sports days, so everyone can sing, dance, and enjoy it together.
How about singing it with children and having fun creating your own original mix juice?
Small World
A song best known as the theme for the Disney attraction “It’s a Small World.” Riding a boat as if traveling around the globe, you’ll hear child dolls hum “It’s a Small World,” a tune with a simple, unforgettable melody.
Debuted at the 1964 New York World’s Fair, it was composed by the Sherman Brothers with a wish for “a friendly world without war.” It’s said to be the “most performed song” in Disney music, playing endlessly throughout the parks! It’s a piece that comes naturally to both children and adults, so be sure to listen to it together with your kids.
Ponyo on the Cliff
It’s the ending theme song from the movie Ponyo on the Cliff by the Sea.
Since it’s a Ghibli film, many children may already know it.
The melody is simple and the choreography is easy, so let’s all dance together.
Both the song and the dance are very cute.
