[Ensemble] 100% CourageHikaru GENJI14rank/position

2019 Minami Nursery School, Life Presentation, 4-year-old class, Ensemble Performance

“100% Courage,” the long-beloved theme song of the NHK Educational TV anime Nintama Rantarō, is probably familiar to many teachers and parents.

Its energetic melody has a simple rhythm, making it perfect for incorporating percussion instruments.

If you create spotlight moments for each part, the children will enjoy performing even more.

Also, outside of instrument practice, it would be great to set aside time for everyone to sing together and become more familiar with the song.

I’d be delighted if 4-year-olds come to love this piece and have fun performing it.
