[Exercise] Jumping is fun! Rhythm Jump Rope Compilation (11–20)
We are children of the sea.
Ware wa Umi no Ko (We Are Children of the Sea) spread to elementary schools nationwide from the Meiji through the Showa era.
It’s one of the Ministry of Education’s school songs and was selected in 2007 as one of Japan’s 100 Famous Songs.
Your child may have sung it in elementary school! With its relaxed melody that evokes the sea of one’s hometown, it’s great even for beginners at rhythm jump rope.
Since it’s widely known across generations, it’s also a recommended piece for recitals attended by older adults.
Try various jump-rope styles like speed steps and backward jumping!
PopcornGershon Kingsley
Most songs used for rhythm jump rope tend to be either slow tracks for beginners or fast, driving ones for advanced jumpers.
But choosing either of those makes it hard to structure a routine that includes everything from basic moves to high-difficulty skills.
That’s why I recommend “Popcorn.” This piece was composed by Gershon Kingsley.
The steady rhythm laid down by the synthesizer makes it easy to match with any move.
It also has a slightly laid-back vibe, making it perfect for those who want to relax while doing rhythm jump rope.
Crimson Lotus FlowerLiSA
Serialized in Weekly Shonen Jump, Demon Slayer: Kimetsu no Yaiba became explosively popular across all generations in 2020.
The anime and movie also became historic hits.
This song is the opening theme for season 1 of the anime, sung by LiSA—a cool track with a touch of sadness.
The jump-rope dance choreography starts with placing a hand on your chest, and the moves make full use of the song’s cool vibe.
If you snap your legs apart and raise your hand right at the moment the sound cuts off at the end of the chorus, it looks awesome!
U.S.A.DA PUMP
Even boring jump rope practice can be fun if you do it to DA PUMP’s smash hit “U.S.A.”! It’s great for little kids trying rhythm jump rope for the first time and for parents as a workout, so you can tackle it together as a family.
Since it’s an up-tempo dance number, it might feel fast at first, but just jumping or bouncing is perfectly fine! More advanced folks can add in jump rope tricks and other variations—so give it a cool spin and show off your moves!
Let Me HearFear, and Loathing in Las Vegas
If you’re an advanced rhythm rope skipper, you probably want to showcase trick after trick to a high-energy track.
‘Let Me Hear’ is perfect for that.
It’s a song by the Japanese electronic music band Fear, and Loathing in Las Vegas.
In addition to its fast tempo, the synthesizer sounds create a stylish vibe.
The track is about four minutes long, so you can unleash your skills to the fullest!
Genghis Khan (also refers to a Japanese grilled mutton dish called ‘Jingisukan’)Genghis Khan (also refers to a Japanese grilled mutton dish called 'Jingisukan')
Dschinghis Khan is also famous as a song danced to around campfires.
It was the debut track by the German music group Dschinghis Khan, inspired by Genghis Khan, the ruler of the Mongol Empire who is revered as a hero.
The chorus in particular builds to a festive, night-time atmosphere, and it’s the kind of song that will lift your spirits even more while jumping rope! With its relatively fast tempo and frequently changing mood, it’s best suited to intermediate and advanced jump-ropers who are getting used to rhythm jump rope.

Let’s give it a try
A song I’d like to recommend to boost your motivation for rhythm jumping is “Yatte Minayo.” It’s a track WANIMA released in 2017 and is also well known as an au commercial song.
The lyrics encourage you to take on challenges without fear, so it naturally lifts your motivation.
Its driving sound is a perfect match for rhythm jumping, and the especially hyped-up chorus—both lyrically and sonically—is ideal for tackling more complex tricks.
