Until we meet againyuzu16rank/position

[Song] Until the Day We Meet Again [Rainbow Class, Senior Year]

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.

Dancing Rockin' Monster

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!

Hyokkori Hyoutan-jima18rank/position

Hyokkori Hyotan Island Spring Bon Odori Festival in LaLaport Nagoya Minato AQULS

The puppet show Hyokkori Hyotan-jima, which aired in the 1960s.

This song of the same title, released as the show’s theme, has been sung by many artists—including Morning Musume—and is a timeless classic widely known across generations.

Let’s dance a Bon Odori to this song that everyone, from children to adults, knows! We recommend adding choreography that sways like an island drifting on the sea or like gently swimming through the waves.

Since the tempo is a bit fast, incorporating bigger movements and traveling steps rather than intricate motions will help you enjoy dancing without getting too caught up in the choreography!

To That SummerHisaishi Joe19rank/position

Joe Hisaishi Piano Live Performance – One Summer’s Day (Spirited Away)

An insert song from Spirited Away.

A track that makes you want to listen in summer.

The piano’s tone and the somewhat wistful melody gradually draw you in, and before you know it, you’re completely absorbed.

It’s a song that brings back faint memories of that summer in my youth, moistens my eyes, and makes my chest tighten.

Smile / Moka Kamishiraishi [Sports Day, School Performance Dance] Easy Dance Choreography

Starting with a refreshing morning greeting, moving through fun playtime at noon, and ending with a moment of gazing at the night sky, this song brightly and breezily depicts various scenes of a day.

Released by Moka Kamishiraishi in June 2015 as the opening theme for the NHK E-Tele anime “Hanakappa,” it features a rhythmic, bouncy melody and lyrics sprinkled with playful wordplay.

The themes are staying positive and the importance of a smile, carrying a message to keep smiling anytime, anywhere.

It’s a perfect track for a dance segment at a school sports day, and dancing with lively choreography is sure to bring smiles to parents’ faces as well.

DoraemonHoshino Gen21rank/position

Tried dancing Doraemon! [Playtime] [Dance] [Kirari Nursery School]

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!
