Anpanman,” popular in the anime, movies, and picture books! The song has four verses, but the choreography stays the same, so it should be easy for children to learn, right?

Mrs.
GREEN APPLE’s “Aoi to Natsu” is a captivating song with bright, refreshing sounds and vocals that evoke youth.
If you move your body to this track, you might feel a full-body sense of hope moving toward the future.
Since it’s a fast-tempo song, it’s recommended to keep each movement to two beats or otherwise leave some breathing room; move slowly so your facial expression can also stay relaxed.
If having too many movements makes it hard to feel the fun of the song, focusing on steps might be a good option.
