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!

Rhythm Jump Rope: Racing into the Night

Racing into the NightYOASOBI

Some of you might be struggling to get a child who isn’t very enthusiastic to warm up to rhythm jump rope.

In times like that, YOASOBI’s “Yoru ni Kakeru” is a perfect fit.

It’s a hugely popular song across all ages, so it should get them excited and engaged.

The tempo is quite fast, but if you include plenty of basic skills, it should still work well for lower-grade elementary school students’ rhythm jump rope.

It’s also ideal when you want to make otherwise monotonous practice feel lively and fun.

Dinner Song | Rhythmic Jump Rope

Dinner Songtuki.

tuki.’s “Bansanka” is cool and stylish, with a powerful chorus, and it’s a great pick for enjoying rhythm jump rope! The section that goes from open–close (goo–paa) into a cross becomes especially captivating when you jump while moving your rope rhythmically.

If you’re considering switching places front-to-back, let’s make those swaps during the instrumental/bridge section.

Scissor jumps, pedals, and stomps are moves where footwork is crucial.

Adjust your skills so they flow into the next move, have fun, and nail your rhythm jump rope routine!

GREEN APPLE’s “Lilac” is a perfect fit for rhythm jump rope.

During the chorus, when doing two-beat jumps, it’s easy to look down and lose your posture, so try to keep your gaze forward and jump while feeling the rhythm.

The challenge section is the main highlight of rhythm jump rope! Incorporate double unders, focus on spinning the rope quickly and jumping high, and give it your best.

If you’re up for it, adding moves like backward double unders or the Hayabusa is also recommended.

Rhythm Jump Rope “Shō”

Rhythm jump rope set to Ado’s song “Show” seems like it would be even more exciting, with the uptempo, powerful vocals boosting the energy! Before you start jumping, try some light body loosening to ease tension—this will help you enter the rhythm smoothly when you begin.

During the slower parts of the song, incorporate crisscross jumps by crossing your arms.

It’s easier if you cross the rope slightly lower, near your lower body.

For the challenge section, add your favorite signature tricks to finish in style!

Rhythmic Jump Rope: “Become the Wind”

Become the Wind Ayano Tsuji

Ayano Tsuji’s “Kaze ni Naru” features gentle ukulele tones and a soft, refreshing vocal that really enhances the charm of rhythm jump rope.

In the chorus, try incorporating two-beat jumps and running steps—moves that make it easy to match the rhythm.

In the latter half, the criss-cross gets a bit faster.

The key is to keep your arms from spreading too wide, minimize your movements, and cross while you jump.

Adjust how you swing the rope so you can land your tricks smoothly in time with the music—good luck!
