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.

Ninja Dance
@gachapinofficial I tried copying Shinobii Ninja and did the Ninja Dance 🥷💚NinjaNinja DanceMarriage is difficult for a ninja.#Shinobii#NINJA#Gachapin
♪ Original song – shinovy – shinovy
From the drama centered on ninjas, “Ninja ni Kekkon wa Muzukashii” (Marriage Is Difficult for a Ninja), we’d like to introduce its theme song, “Ninja Dance.” You may have seen it on social media, where celebrities and characters dance to the track—so many of you might already know it.
The choreography is designed with ninja movements as its motif, which is a key highlight.
It’s a good idea to adjust the difficulty to match children’s ages.
There are some cool moves too, so start by learning the choreography slowly and practice at an easy pace.
Que sera, seraMrs. GREEN APPLE
Released in 2023, this song drew attention as the theme for the drama “Sunday Night Is About…” It’s a lively pop-rock number perfect for dancing with kids, featuring a bright, uplifting melody.
It showcases Mrs.
GREEN APPLE’s signature blend of diverse genres and profound messaging.
Celebrating the importance of being true to yourself and the courage to face challenges, this track is ideal for children’s sports day dances.
Its rhythmic groove lets kids move energetically and makes it fun for parents to join in, too.
It’s also a great idea to create choreography with the children and enjoy dancing together.
Maximum reachSEKAI NO OWARI
It’s a song marked by a lively, upbeat melody and warm, heartfelt lyrics.
It sings about the courage to move forward while accepting our weaknesses, and the importance of continuing to chase our dreams.
It’s perfect for dancing with kids and enjoying with lots of energy.
Since September 2023, this track has been used as the opening theme for the popular anime ONE PIECE and is included on the album Nautilus.
As a well-known anime song for school sports days, it helps bring out children’s individuality and draw out performances full of smiles.
Another charm is that it’s easy to sing while dancing, making it a fun song that lets kids naturally move their bodies to the music.
Watch out for hornets!
Let me introduce “Watch Out for the Hornet!”, a dance where you become a hornet.
While waiting for the music to start, strike a pre-flight hornet pose.
The key is to keep your fingertips straight as you wait.
Once the music begins, the hornet can freely fly around the room.
It might be more exciting if you decide on some call-and-response shouts to use during the dance.
Hornets are dangerous if you approach or touch them.
Through the song and dance, it could also be a chance to learn about dangers close to home.
dance hallMrs. GREEN APPLE
It’s a song filled with messages about discovering love and living life positively.
Upbeat lyrics paired with a pop melody give it an encouraging power that brightens the world.
By likening life to a landing on a staircase, it teaches the importance of enjoying life together with those you cherish, even if you stumble sometimes.
Included on the July 2022 album “Unity,” it was also chosen as the theme song for Fuji TV’s “Mezamashi 8.” Seamlessly blending Mrs.
GREEN APPLE’s pop sensibilities with a heartwarming message, this track is perfect when you’re feeling down or need a boost.
Use it for group performances at school sports days, and it will surely bring out children’s smiles and energetic expression.
