Ondo Dango Three Brothers
Bon Odori version! Here’s an idea for “Ondo Dango 3 Kyodai.” It’s an arranged version of “Dango 3 Kyodai,” which has been loved by children since its 1999 release.
Keeping the same catchy lyrics and rhythm that stick in your head after just one listen, this version incorporates call-and-response shouts and taiko drums to create a Bon Odori arrangement! With its irresistibly singable, fun atmosphere, children will naturally join the circle and enjoy dancing.
It could also be fun to design choreography inspired by dango.

Ninja Hattari-kun
@barbamaha Ninja Hattari-kun#tempalay#armscontrol#handsperformance#vogue#choreography#dance
♬ Ninja Hattari – Tempalay
Let me introduce Ninja Hattari-kun, which also serves as the theme song for the WOWOW original drama I Want to Hold Aono-kun So Badly I Could Die.
Tempalay’s Ninja Hattari-kun features a cool sound, and a key point is that the lyrics include ninjutsu techniques.
When practicing with children, it’s a good idea to use instruments like whistles to highlight key movements.
The rhythm is complex, so this is a recommended idea for preschoolers.
Ghost Party
A fun song packed with Halloween excitement is included on the September 2020 album “Shimajiro Ages 1–2: Hit Songs.” With its bright, rhythmic melody and a delightful world where friendly ghosts enjoy a party, it sparks children’s imaginations.
The energetic vocals by Shimajiro and Mana Ogawa are another highlight.
This track is perfect not only for Halloween-season events but also for daycare and kindergarten activities, as well as family parties—any occasion where kids can sing, dance, and have fun together with their friends!
Shimajiro Ondo!
It’s a fun ondō that makes your heart dance along to an energetic rhythm.
Born in March 2018, this song carries messages about the spirit of challenge, a sense of adventure, and the importance of life.
Children’s curiosity and positive lyrics are sung in Shimajiro’s gentle voice.
It’s used in the dance segment and ending of the TV show “Shimajiro no Wao!” and is loved by children at concerts and events nationwide.
There’s choreography that kids can dance to as well, making it a sure hit at nursery and kindergarten events! It’s a perfect song for parent-child bonding time or whenever you want to get moving together with children.
Shuriken Ninja
Use your whole body and try transforming into a ninja! Let us introduce “Shuriken Ninja.” Ninjas are super cool to kids, right? Many children probably admire their swift moves.
“Shuriken Ninja” features easy-to-remember lyrics and a catchy melody.
There are also three moments where you can show off special techniques, making it perfect for highlighting the kids’ cool sides! At the end of the song, there’s a section where you dodge a series of moves in a row, so you can create a real highlight scene!
