A track by Yuzu selected as the opening theme for the hugely popular children’s anime Crayon Shin-chan.

This marks the second collaboration between Yuzu and Crayon Shin-chan, following the film Crayon Shin-chan: My Moving Story! Cactus Large Attack! In the opening sequence, the Nohara family and Yuzu’s mascot characters, the Yuzu-men, dance along to the song.

Many kids who see it might feel like they can dance along too! Just like in the opening, don’t let it be just for the kids—get the whole family, including mom and dad, pumped up at karaoke!

This is a song by Spitz that was used as the theme for NHK’s morning drama series “Natsuzora.” From the lyrics to the melody, the song exudes a gentle, enveloping warmth, and many listeners may find it soothing.

Spitz debuted in 1991 and still remains at the forefront of the music scene, attracting fans across a wide age range.

As the theme of a morning drama, its recognition is excellent.

It’s recommended both as a karaoke song for children and as a track for parents and kids to enjoy together!

This is a song from the anime Anpanman that children love.

Anpanman features many characters, and in this song those characters appear one after another.

If you can sing it all the way through, you’re sure to become a favorite among the kids!

If you’re with meIori46rank/position

The hugely popular anime Detective Conan, based on a mystery manga by Gosho Aoyama, is always ranked among elementary school students’ favorite shows.

The song “Kimi ga Ireba” adds lyrics to the main theme composed by Katsuo Ono and is sung by Iori.

It’s been used for many years in the films and more, so many of you probably know it.

Since the anime has been on the air for over 20 years, both parents and kids are sure to be able to sing the melody.

Be sure to sing it together as a family!

cherry (sweet cherry; cherry fruit)Otsuka Ai47rank/position

This is the second single by singer-songwriter Ai Otsuka, who has also been active since 2012 as the vocalist of the rock band Rabbit.

Chosen as the opening theme for the music program COUNT DOWN TV, it’s known as one of Ai Otsuka’s signature songs, with cute lyrics and a breezy arrangement that feels great.

While the song’s tempo is fast, the melody is generally slow, making it easy for children to sing and a number that’s likely to earn high scores.

It’s a recommended karaoke song that also teaches you the fun of karaoke—singing and getting excited together with everyone.

ATARASHII GAKKO! – Otona Blue (Official Music Video)
Otona Blueatarashii gakkou no rīdāzu

A signature song by Atarashii Gakko! that captivates Gen Z and won’t let go.

Released digitally in May 2020, it fuses the flavor of Showa-era kayōkyoku with electro sounds for a funky finish, and its head-shaking dance went viral on TikTok in 2023.

The lyrics portray the emotional turbulence of adolescence, deftly expressing both a longing to be an adult and the impatience that comes with immaturity, resonating with many listeners.

Featured on the EP “Itiji Kikoku” (Temporary Return) and the album “Ma-ningen,” the track won an Excellence Award at the 65th Japan Record Awards.

It’s a sure-fire crowd-pleaser across generations—sing it at karaoke while everyone imitates the head-shaking dance.

Giant DreamKimura Subaru (Jaian)49rank/position

Takeshi Gouda is a character from the anime Doraemon, which is popular among elementary school students.

In the story, he is often called by his nickname, Gian.

As for Gian, it’s officially established that he has a “terrible singing voice.” While he can just barely carry a tune, those around him consider his singing so awful that it’s unbearable to listen to.

For elementary schoolers who aren’t confident in their singing, we recommend “Giant Dream”! This is Gian’s debut song as a singer.

Since it’s sung by Gian to begin with, it’s absolutely fine if you go off key.

In fact, being off-key might even make everyone happier!
