Aimyon – Harunohi [OFFICIAL MUSIC VIDEO]

If you’re an elementary school student who wants to sing karaoke but isn’t sure what to choose, Aimyon’s “Harunohi” is a perfect pick.

Released in 2019, this song is the theme for “Crayon Shin-chan: Honeymoon Hurricane ~The Lost Hiroshi~” and features a heartwarming melody.

With a simple 8-beat rhythm that’s easy to catch and a major-scale melody line that feels pleasantly nostalgic, it’s wonderfully easy to sing! It’s a song everyone can enjoy together, even for your first time at karaoke.

Sing it with all your wishes in mind!

[Aoki Iro] “Swallow” Dance Music Video Full ver. YOASOBI with Midories | SDGs | NHK

We live in a world that calls for diversity, and this YOASOBI track teaches us the essence of it.

Even though everyone thinks differently and lives in different environments, we all share the desire to live happily.

It expresses the theme of living together with a driving sound.

Released in October 2021 and used as the theme song for NHK’s children’s program “Hirogare! Irotoridori,” the song is also included on the album THE BOOK 2.

It’s a refreshing pop tune that brightens entrance ceremonies and gives first graders—whose hearts are full of both excitement and anxiety—the courage to head to school with energy.

Gen Hoshino – Otherworldly Mixed Grand Ball (feat. Obake) [Official Video]

As a recommended summer song, I’d like to introduce “Isekai Kongo Dai Butokai (feat.

Obake)” by Gen Hoshino.

It’s the theme song for the film “Ghostbook: Obakezukan,” known for being fun to both sing and dance to.

The chorus’s “Obake Dance” is simple and cute, so both adults and children can enjoy it together.

The song’s distinctive rhythm is another charming highlight—you can clap and step along as you sing, making it perfect for enjoying hot summer days with family and friends.

Feel the rhythm with your whole body and get into the spirit of summer!

BTS (방탄소년단) ‘Dynamite’ Official MV (Choreography ver.)

If you’re looking for a summer song that parents and kids can enjoy together, I recommend Dynamite.

Released in 2020 by the world-renowned hip-hop group BTS, its disco-inspired sound with a touch of nostalgia will get your body moving.

The crisp flow over a light beat reminiscent of soul and funk is cool, and the dramatically unfolding melody will heighten the excitement for the arrival of summer vacation.

It’s a track perfect for family outings or for singing and dancing with friends.
