As expected, super hyped!momokurochan Z
A song from an educational TV program for preschoolers where the hugely popular idol group Momoiro Clover Z appears as Momokuro-chan Z to play with children through songs and dance.
Of course, the ones singing and dancing are the members of Momoiro Clover.
With “getting pumped up” as the theme, seeing Momoclo energetically and joyfully singing and dancing will definitely make kids want to imitate and dance along! Compared to their usual songs, the choreography here is simple and easy for children to follow, so be sure to copy the moves and dance together!
Muscatyuzu
This is the theme song for the anime Crayon Shin-chan, sung by Yuzu and released in 2018.
It features a lively melody and a sharp, comical dance choreographed by Lucky Ikeda.
It’s sure to get everyone excited when performed at events like school sports days, with kids and adults joining in together.
The key point is the dance where you shake your hips—one of Crayon Shin-chan’s trademark gags.
Kids really love this move.
If you want to bring out the pure, adorable smiles of children, this is the perfect song!
U.S.A.DA PUMP
The well-known 2018 hit song “U.S.A.” is a dance track by the popular group DA PUMP.
The dance itself is quite advanced, but the choreography in the chorus is very striking, and people of all ages—from kids to adults—copied it.
Since it wasn’t originally a children’s song, the lyrics are difficult and the tempo is fast.
By using only the first verse or simplifying the choreography for kids, with a bit of ingenuity it becomes a song that children can enjoy dancing to.
Happy Jam Jamshimajirou
“Happy Jam Jam” is a staple song at concerts for the popular character Shimajiro.
Shimajiro and his friends sing and dance together with everyone.
With simple choreography—spreading your arms to the rhythm, clapping your hands, and more—it’s easy to learn, so let’s all dance together.
The chorus repeats many times, so even children who aren’t confident dancers will likely be dancing happily by the end of the song.
I, the Animal Samurai!
“Sessha! Animal Samurai,” written and composed by Takashi Deguchi, is a recommended dance track for kids’ sports days.
It features lots of animals that children love.
To get into the spirit like samurai who once wore swords at their waists, try tying a cord around the waist and tucking in a short stick while dancing—it will boost the vibe and excitement! Have fun dancing as different animals.
AdventureYOASOBI
YOASOBI’s “Adventure” is a song that excites children’s hearts.
Its lyrics, which sing about the spirit of stepping out of everyday life and making precious memories with friends, spark kids’ imaginations.
Written as the theme song for Universal Studios Japan, it’s a special track that also captures the park’s charm.
With its up-tempo rhythm, it’s fun to move your body together with children.
It seems perfect for sports days and school performances.
Adding choreography could make it even more enjoyable to express.
It’s an ideal song for creating wonderful memories.
