There are six songs played on the popular attraction “The Happy Ride with Baymax,” each available in three versions: with dialogue, without dialogue, and instrumental.

They’re available for streaming and on CD.

“A New Angle” is also a catchy track, and its lyrics—suggesting new possibilities like “If you spin around and look, you’ll discover a new way of seeing”—are really cool! If you were to choreograph a dance to this song, adding lots of jumps and occasionally swinging your arms wide to the left and right could make it really fun.

It’s a perfect recommendation for younger elementary students, too.

And it’s also great as background music to create a lively mood during recreation time!

From 2013 to 2018, the main song played in Tokyo Disneyland’s daytime parade was “Happiness Is Here.” Centered on this track, the parade featured a Disney medley including titles like “Dumbo” and “Snow White.” As an aside, the previous parade, “Jubilation!,” was great too.

“Happiness Is Here” is very dance-friendly and easy to choreograph, allowing you to include lots of fun clapping and jumping sections.

Please also check out the choreography by various dance teams uploaded on video sites for reference.

It’s a highly recommended song that can be widely used from preschoolers to elementary school students.

StaRtMrs. GREEN APPLE

Mrs.

GREEN APPLE’s “StaRt,” with its catchy melody, is a song that people of all ages can enjoy.

Since it’s energetic right from the intro, let’s incorporate strong, simple movements into the expression.

The uplifting melody should help create a greater sense of unity in the venue.

For the up-tempo parts, focus while moving your arms and legs, and express it with a smile.

Wearing matching outfits for the performance will enhance the sense of togetherness and make it a wonderful sports day.

Yuri’s “Billimillion,” with its catchy chorus that turns many listeners into fans after just one listen, is likely used by many schools for their sports days.

The chorus has a brisk tempo, so the key is to dance while expressing yourself with big movements of your arms and legs.

The gentle melody and lyrics will lift the dancers’ spirits and are sure to get everyone excited! Performing in the special setting of a sports day can be nerve-wracking, but once you finish the dance, you’ll likely feel both a sense of accomplishment and personal growth.

We’d like to introduce a song that’s perfect for a bright and energetic atmosphere at children’s sports days! It’s a single by Black Biscuits, released in April 1998, which reached No.

2 on the Oricon charts and became a huge hit with about 1.48 million copies sold.

Its pop, uplifting melody and lively beat have an irresistible rhythm that naturally gets kids moving.

It’s a well-known favorite among J-pop fans and continues to be loved across generations, even being performed at NHK’s Kōhaku Uta Gassen in December 2023.

The lyrics, which sing about important moments in everyday life, make it perfect for practice time leading up to the dance segment of a sports day.

The fun choreography that kids can energetically dance to with friends is sure to become a popular program for preschoolers’ sports festivals.

The craze has died down a bit, but it’s still a song that gets everyone hyped at karaoke.

I think it would be super cute to have lower-grade elementary school kids dance to it at events like sports festivals.

The choreography is also really simple and easy to dance.

A dance that anyone can do easily: Age Age Hoi Hoi.

While the choreography might feel uncool to middle and high school students, it’s highly recommended for elementary schoolers in terms of difficulty.

The best thing about this dance is its simple steps.

Even the so-called easy “box step” can feel hard for younger kids, but Age Age Hoi Hoi only moves forward and backward, so there’s no need to worry about footwork.

It also works as a warm-up, so it’s recommended as a performance for lower grades.
