Bling-Bang-Bang-BornCreepy Nuts78rank/position

Creepy Nuts “Bling-Bang-Bang-Born” × TV Anime “MASHLE: MAGIC AND MUSCLES” Collaboration Music Video #BBBB Dance

Released in January 2024, this track was written as the opening theme for the second season of the TV anime “Mashle: Magic and Muscles,” specifically for the Divine Visionary Candidate Exam arc.

The anime’s premise—where the protagonist who can’t use magic takes on the world with pure muscle—syncs perfectly with R-Shitei’s powerful lyrics.

The chant-like hook sticks in your head after just one listen, and it’s still fresh in our minds how it went viral worldwide on TikTok as the “BBBB Dance.” DJ Matsunaga’s track, infused with Jersey Club elements, is insanely addictive and perfect for getting everyone hyped at karaoke.

Even if you can’t sing it perfectly, just shouting that distinctive phrase together will unite the crowd and send the energy through the roof!

Kinra Kira Pon (New Ending) NHK E-Tele Okaasan to Issho ♪ (Covered by UtaSta)

This is the ending theme that was changed with the start of the 2022 series “Fantane!”.

It’s a bit sad that the hand gates and tunnels created by the show’s beloved characters since its inception have officially been removed.

A standout feature is the sign-language choreography that matches the lyrics, which adds a solid educational element in addition to the song’s fun.

The relaxed rhythm is also pleasant, and it’s a piece that invites listeners to savor the message while encouraging large, expressive movements.

Cradle Song [With Vocals] Children's Song / Lullaby

Since its birth in the Taisho era as a lullaby, it has been beloved up to the present day.

In recent years, singer Rimi Natsukawa covered it, bringing it back into the spotlight.

Its soothing and calming melody makes it perfect for holding your baby and gently patting their back to the rhythm of the music.

Listening to this song while feeling the warmth and comfort of being held will surely make your baby feel happy.

Ashita wa Hareru (Okaasan to Issho) / Osamu Sakata

This is “Ashita wa Hareru,” a staple song for graduation season written and composed by singer-songwriter Osamu Sakata.

Its lyrics are memorable for gently supporting the wavering hearts of children about to graduate, encouraging them to remember their friends especially when they feel sad or want to cry.

Broadcast in March 1999 as the “Song of the Month” on NHK’s Okaasan to Issho, the piece was created to coincide with the graduation of the show’s then “big brother” and “big sister” singers.

The message that hearts remain connected even when apart warmly encourages children as they set out into a new world.

Why not sing it together with teachers and parents at the graduation ceremony or thank-you party, cherishing those precious memories?

[Full Song] Mixed Nuts / Official HIGE DANDism | Easy choreography, sports day dance (kindergarten, nursery school, elementary school: preschool, middle preschool, senior preschool, lower grades, middle grades, upper grades)

Official HIGE DANDism has been churning out hits with unstoppable momentum.

Mixed Nuts, released digitally in April 2022, was written as the opening theme song for the TV anime SPY x FAMILY.

The lyrics depict the inner conflicts of characters who aren’t a real family yet live together, as well as the warmth of the time they share—even if it’s only temporary.

Its fast-paced, jazzy melody alone is enough to get you excited.

As a theme song hugely popular with children, it’s a perfect track for moving freely and dancing together at a school sports day!

“Paprika” — Tokyo 2020 Olympic support song produced by Kenshi Yonezu <Tsujiminami Elementary School Instrumental Club, Saitama City, Saitama Prefecture> [2019-07-21]

Both the song and the dance are familiar to elementary school children: Foorin’s “Paprika.” It was created by singer-songwriter Kenshi Yonezu as a support song for the “NHK 2020 Cheer Song Project.” Since it’s a song kids know well, getting used to the sound should be easy! The tempo isn’t very fast, so even children who aren’t used to playing instruments can tackle it with confidence.

We also recommend turning the part right before the final chorus into a solo to create a highlight moment! The rhythm is upbeat, so children on percussion should lock into the groove!

[Picture Book Lullaby] Red Dragonfly | Japan Lullaby Association

It is a gentle nursery song that strongly evokes twilight scenes and the end of the day.

Watching the sunset from afar, it conveys a sense of nostalgia as one looks back on memories of home, along with the loneliness of those memories gradually fading.

Its relaxed tempo and the seemingly light, lilting vocal line give a calming, soothing impression.

This piece conveys the grandeur of nature in one’s homeland, tenderly enveloping an anxious heart.
