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.
Insect Tai Chi
Let me introduce a dance that harnesses your imagination: Insect Tai Chi.
The music features a variety of creatures from nature, such as mantises, rhinoceros beetles, pill bugs, and stink bugs.
Move through insect poses in time with Tai Chi’s slow, soothing rhythm.
It’s also fun to create and decide on your own original insect poses in advance.
Finish with a final pose to wrap it up.
Enjoy Insect Tai Chi and immerse yourself in the world of insects.
Norimaki Pera Pari OndoHanada Yuuichirou, Nagata Maya
The lively, festival-style song Norimaki Pera Pari Ondo, which bursts with summer festival vibes, appeared in July 2022 as the “Song of the Month” on NHK’s Okaasan to Issho.
The lyrics are by Tomomi Fujimo, and the music is by veteran composer Yasuo Kosugi, who has created numerous songs for E-Tele.
Centered on the theme of norimaki (seaweed-wrapped rolls), its catchy “pera-to pari-to” rhythm sticks in your head, and the dazzling production and characters leave a strong impression.
Yuichiro Onii-san appears as Noriko, and Maya Onee-san as Makiko, making this an irresistibly addictive tune that naturally makes you crave norimaki just by watching!
Mickey Mouse March
One essential song for kids’ dance routines is the Mickey Mouse March.
Since it’s a march, the rhythm is easy for children to get into.
While it’s often used for marching, it’s also great as a dance song with simple choreography.
Many kids love Disney, so it’s a tune both dancers and audience can enjoy.
Perfect for nursery and kindergarten recitals!
Arale-chan Ondo
This is a bon odori song that reflects the brightness of the anime Dr.
Slump Arale-chan.
Its tempo perfectly matches the energetic characters, and the playful sound creates a fun atmosphere.
With lots of choreography you’ll want to imitate and catchy call-and-response shouts, it makes kids eager to jump in and dance.
The structure further heightens the festive excitement, letting you fully enjoy the lively mood.
It’s easy for children unfamiliar with the original work to enjoy, and it’s a song that naturally brings smiles as you dance.
It delivers a joyful festival experience that blends the anime’s world with music.
Ballooooon!!Naoto Intiraymi
A lively song that kids can enjoy together was released by Naoto Inti Raymi in May 2013.
Filled with childhood memories, this piece gently conveys the value of what’s important through the joy and disappointment surrounding a balloon.
Included on the album “Nice catch the moment!,” it is loved by a wide range of listeners, from children to adults, thanks to its bright rhythm and touching lyrics.
The chorus, which can get the whole venue excited, is perfect for sports day interludes or dances everyone can do together! It’s highly recommended as a song that nursery and kindergarten teachers can use to have fun creating choreography with their students while practicing.
Team up with energetic older kindergarteners, prepare cute costumes and props, and create a memorable, wonderful performance.
