10 years as a kindergarten teacher / elementary school teacher / junior and senior high school teacher / childminderkepiko
Graduated from Kunitachi College of Music, Faculty of Music (now: Department of Music Culture and Education, Early Childhood Music Education major). In elementary school, my homeroom teacher was Jun Kusaba, a game researcher. After graduating from university, I worked as a kindergarten teacher for 10 years and as an after-school childcare instructor for 7 years, then took a position as a music teacher at an international school in Singapore. In addition to music education, I engaged in activities that introduced Japanese culture, traditional games, and recreational activities, working with many children. Later, through freelance writing, planning, and editing at Shogakukan, I met many delightful adults and experienced the joy of communicating and sharing. Drawing on the perspective cultivated in the field of education and my experience as an editor, I provide practical information with an emphasis on both input and output, mainly in areas related to music and children. My hobbies include instruments, singing, handicrafts, toys, drawing, traditional games, the outdoors, and books. My special skill is spinning-top tricks.

I’ve worked in a variety of roles—regardless of pro or amateur settings—including live event PA, cameraman for video and photography, restaurant staff, and logistics center staff. I now spend my days as a part-time writer. I’ve contributed to music and manga websites with feature/review articles, and wrote the liner notes included as a bonus for 1st PLACE Inc.’s “IA SUPER BEST.” As for my music background, I started playing guitar in junior high and focused on band activities during my school years. For over 15 years since then, up to the present, I’ve continued releasing original tracks as a Vocaloid producer. My areas of expertise are Japanese rock, Vocaloid, and manga.

Rhythm jump rope is a fun exercise where you jump rope to music.

It became widely known thanks to the comedy duo Nyanko Star gaining popularity.

There are classes for elementary school kids, and everyone can have a lively, fun time together.

Moving your body to the beat feels great, and it’s easy to do in your own backyard—that’s part of the charm!

Since you can jump to various songs, it’s also perfect for sports days and preschool events.

Jumping rope together while enjoying the rhythm helps deepen bonds with friends.

Even beginners can learn while having fun, so give it a try!

Genghis Khan (also refers to a Japanese grilled mutton dish called “Jingisukan”) ジンギスカン

Watch “Genghis Khan (also refers to a Japanese grilled mutton dish called ‘Jingisukan’) ジンギスカン” on YouTube

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.

It also includes callouts that teach tips for the jump rope technique itself.

That makes it perfect for those aiming to move beyond the beginner stage.

Rhythm Jump Rope: Popcorn

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.

Sports Day – Middle Year – Jump Rope

Mickey Mouse MarchJimmie Dodd

When it comes to rhythm jump-rope songs often used at kindergarten and nursery school sports days, “Mickey Mouse March” is a classic.

It’s the theme song for Mickey Mouse and has a cheerful vibe.

In Japanese, it’s known as “Mickey Mouse Kōshinkyoku,” and many people may remember it by that title.

The tempo is generally slow and easy to keep time with, so it pairs well with a variety of movements.

By the way, many artists have covered this song, so it might be fun to look for your favorite version.
