[Exercise] Jumping is fun! Rhythm Jump Rope Roundup

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!

Nyan-ko Star: Rhythm Jump Rope Recital

cherry (sweet cherry; cherry fruit) Ai Otsuka

Ai Otsuka’s smash hit “Sakuranbo” is the song that also played in the comedy duo Nyanko Star’s rhythm jump rope routine.

It might be the track that helped popularize rhythm jump rope.

If you want to try a lively, Nyanko Star–style routine with leg lifts and crossovers, be sure to check out the video for reference! The tempo is fairly fast, so it’s recommended for intermediate to advanced jump ropers.

In their act, they ditch the rope when the chorus hits, but feel free to add your own spin and keep jumping!

Lower Grades・Advanced: The Railroad Goes On Forever ~ Galaxy Express 999

[From “CD: Fun Rhythm Jump Rope”] [Lower Grades · Advanced] “The Railroad Tracks Go On Forever” ~ “Galaxy Express 999”

Lower Grades・Advanced: The Railroad Goes On Forever ~ Galaxy Express 999

An idea to use a medley of “I’ve Been Working on the Railroad,” which became widely known through educational programs, and Godiego’s classic “Galaxy Express 999.” In the gentle atmosphere of “I’ve Been Working on the Railroad,” we showcase moves like two-footed skipping and hop-on-one-foot jumps.

Then, to the grand melody of “Galaxy Express 999,” we take on slightly more complex skills, such as hopping on one foot with a backward sweep.

The rough structure is to focus on basic jumping techniques in the first half and tackle arranged, more elaborate techniques in the second half.

[Lower Grades / Beginner] Let's Draw in the Blue Sky

“Aoi Sora ni E o Kakou,” a beloved staple in choral repertoires, is cherished for its positive lyrics that sing of hope for the future and for the lively call-and-response everyone can enjoy together.

How about trying rhythmic jump rope to that familiar melody? In the first half, you swing a bundled rope using both the left and right sides of your body.

Then in the middle section, you take on the challenge of one rotation per jump.

It’s also great that you can do warm-up-like movements before moving into the actual jumps.
