fruit punchgaagaaS
How about everyone dancing together to the refreshing dance song “Fruit Punch”? The lyrics, inspired by fruit punch, are super cute, and it’s an easy-to-sing-and-dance-to tune that little kids can’t help but hum along to.
There are many repeated sections in the choreography, so it’s easy to remember, and I think it would look adorable if children danced it together with their parents at events like sports days.
You can also make it more fun by wearing colorful costumes inspired by the song title “Fruit Punch,” or by transforming into kids’ favorite fruits and dancing!
The railroad tracks go on forever.
This song, which sings of railroad tracks stretching on forever, gives a wonderful, hope-filled impression of moving toward the future while traveling by train with friends.
When you sing it while imagining the changing scenery—over hills and fields—it makes you feel the excitement of setting off on an adventure.
Since it first aired on NHK’s “Minna no Uta” in December 1962, it has been loved for many years.
In 2021, the rock band Yabai T-Shirts Yasan arranged it as a commercial song for “Momotaro Dentetsu,” which became a hot topic.
How about singing it at a recital with everyone linked together like a train? Holding hands or putting arms around each other’s shoulders while singing will deepen the joy of cooperation and the sense of unity.
It’s a highly recommended piece that can bring out children’s smiles with a lively, spirited chorus.
100% Courage
A classic among children’s dance songs—“100% Courage”! It’s the opening theme of the anime Nintama Rantaro.
The great thing about this song is that it’s known across generations, from grandparents and parents to kids! There are plenty of choreography videos made for children, so even without creating new moves, you can find routines that suit their age.
With its bright, energetic vibe, it’s perfect for sports days and events! It’s adorable when kids dance to it on their own, and it’s also a lot of fun as a parent-child dance.
Nyan-Para☆Dance
Let me introduce “Nyan-Para☆Dance,” a routine full of adorable, cat-like moves.
The dance features motions that resemble a cat stretching its body or reaching out its paws.
Along with the “nyan” phrases in the lyrics, get into character as a cute kitty and move your body.
Imagining soft, supple motions may help you look even more cat-like.
Try adding adjustments to suit different ages and have fun with it.
The rhythmic, upbeat song is also recommended for children.
Waltz dance in the snow
This is a dance set to a waltz-style arrangement of the children’s song “Yuki” (Snow).
It begins with a polite bow, then continues with choreography that evokes falling snow and the motions of building a snowman.
In the latter half, there’s also a move where you face a friend and do a high-five, making it a dance everyone can enjoy together.
In the video, the same choreography is performed at three different speeds—from slow to fast—so it’s great for practice, and it also looks fun to challenge yourself to see how fast you can keep up.
Fruit Dance Roundup!
Fruit Dance roundup! Let’s have fun dancing to a medley of songs.
The tracks feature pineapple, banana, fruit punch, and more.
The key is a cute dance where you say the names of the fruits as you move.
The fruit names are repeated throughout the lyrics, making the songs easy to remember.
The choreography is simple with many repeated moves, so it’s enjoyable for a wide range of ages—from little kids to older children alike.
Mīchatta Dance
Let me introduce the “Mii-chatta Dance,” a routine that heightens children’s excitement and lets them feel the joy of moving their bodies.
In everyday moments, someone might casually ask, “What are you looking at?” As you repeat “Mii-chatta, mii-chatta,” move along to the lively rhythm.
The moves are cute, simple, and easy to remember, so even very young children can enjoy them.
At the end, there’s a greeting scene where you say, “Kekkō na otemae deshita” and bow—an adorable moment that might make you smile without even realizing it.
