An energetic rock number that lifts your spirits just by listening.

It’s a motivational anthem that gives you a push when you want to find the courage to start something new.
Included on the album “Everybody!!” released in January 2018, it topped the Oricon Weekly Albums Chart.
Celebrating the greatness of facing forward and taking on challenges, this song is the perfect cheer anthem for students and for anyone about to dive into a new environment.

@okaitsu.3 Doremi Fa Train Premiere Osamu Oniisan Yuko Oneesan#OkaItsu Osamu Oniisan #YukoBigSister
Original song – Okai-tsu – Okai-tsu
Ashita Tenki ni Na~re! was used as the ending theme for three consecutive seasons: Monoran Monoran starting in 2009, Pocopotteito starting in 2011, and Garapiko Pu~ starting in 2016.
Daisuke Yokoyama and Takumi Mitani, who served as the longest-tenured “Uta no Onii-san” and “Uta no Onee-san,” respectively, were the primary vocalists.
The lyrics, which depict the world opening up as a train emerges from a tunnel, evoke a bright future and leave you feeling happy.
As expected, super hyped!17rank/position
“Yappa Norinori!” announced on Momoclo-chan Z’s educational program “Tobidase! GooChokiParty” is a super-energetic song.
The official choreography is cute yet simple, so even a class of two-year-olds can give it a try.
The lyrics play on the word “nori,” meaning both “groove” and “seaweed you eat,” which is absolutely adorable.
It’s also a great idea to prepare colorful costumes like Momoclo-chan Z.
Move your bodies to the beat and enjoy dancing with the children.
Dancing Rockin’ Monster18rank/position
Since a well-produced choreography video has been uploaded to video sites, many of you may have already danced to this song, right? It’s an upbeat track that’ll lift your spirits just by listening, reminiscent of Johnny’s “100% Courage.” The call-and-response-style chants in the middle could also be handy for hyping things up.
It’s up-tempo, but kids around kindergarten age should be able to dance to it.
If you’re unsure what to use for a sports day dance or as BGM for a Halloween event, this track is highly recommended!
Until we meet againyuzu19rank/position
This song by Yuzu is perfect for seasons of parting and graduation.
Set to a gentle melody, the lyrics express a wish to reunite with someone important.
It was released in October 2002 and was also used as the theme song for the film “Doraemon: Nobita and the Windmasters.” It’s included on the album “Yuzu Smile” as well.
When children sing it at kindergarten graduation ceremonies or recitals, it will surely become a memorable experience.
Its bright, positive lyrics will gently encourage children as they embark on a new chapter.
Linking arms or holding hands while singing can also deepen their bonds with friends.
Hyokkori Hyoutan-jima20rank/position
This is “Hyokkori Hyotan Island,” a song that has been hugely popular with children for many years.
Since people of all ages know this song, it’s perfect for a school performance.
There’s no set choreography, so depending on how you arrange it, even the youngest kids can dance to it.
Dance with lots of energy and the cuteness will be doubled!

DoraemonHoshino Gen21rank/position
Let’s try dancing to Gen Hoshino’s song “Doraemon.” Everyone can wear a bell around their necks, with girls putting yellow Dorami pom-poms on their wrists and boys blue Doraemon pom-poms—colorful, fun, and sure to boost the energy.
The choreography itself is simple and easy to remember, but stepping on one foot and shaking your hips from side to side can also help improve motor skills.
If it’s too difficult, feel free to simplify the movements.
Have fun and give it a try!
