Koo Lu LeeTōkyō Dizunīrando Beimakkusu


This is a lively, friendly dance track used for the Baymax’s Happy Ride attraction at Tokyo Disneyland.
It’s a song that lets you feel the fun of moving your body to the rhythm, featuring original choreography that uses both hands and feet.
Kids can pick it up quickly, making it perfect for school sports days and recreational dances.
Just like the attraction, it brings out energetic movements and smiles, brightening the atmosphere across the venue.
It’s also easy to add your own arrangements, encouraging creativity from each team—another big draw.
The content is easy to incorporate into recitals as well.
Highly recommended as a dance track that both performers and spectators can enjoy together.
PopopopoposeGReeeeN


It’s a captivating song that brings out children’s smiles.
The track, aired on NHK E-Tele’s popular preschool program “Inai Inai Baa!,” was created by GReeeeN specifically for the show.
Characterized by a bright, rhythmic melody and lyrics that incorporate hand and body movements, it’s packed with ideas—like rock-paper-scissors and pose play—that naturally make kids want to move.
The song is included on the album “Daiku,” released in September 2019, and its easy-to-follow choreography by Lucky Ikeda is also a key to its popularity.
It’s perfect for dance time at sports days and childcare facilities, and great for families to enjoy together at home.
Even children who aren’t confident dancers can start with simple movements and join in with ease.
A New AngleTōkyō Dizunīrando Beimakkusu

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!
Ninja Dance
https://www.tiktok.com/@gachapinofficial/video/7198001612810505473From the drama centered on ninjas, “Ninja ni Kekkon wa Muzukashii” (Marriage Is Difficult for a Ninja), we’d like to introduce its theme song, “Ninja Dance.” You may have seen it on social media, where celebrities and characters dance to the track—so many of you might already know it.
The choreography is designed with ninja movements as its motif, which is a key highlight.
It’s a good idea to adjust the difficulty to match children’s ages.
There are some cool moves too, so start by learning the choreography slowly and practice at an easy pace.

Ninja Hattari-kun
@barbamaha Ninja Hattari-kun#tempalay#armscontrol#handsperformance#vogue#choreography#dance
♬ Ninja Hattari – Tempalay
Let me introduce Ninja Hattari-kun, which also serves as the theme song for the WOWOW original drama I Want to Hold Aono-kun So Badly I Could Die.
Tempalay’s Ninja Hattari-kun features a cool sound, and a key point is that the lyrics include ninjutsu techniques.
When practicing with children, it’s a good idea to use instruments like whistles to highlight key movements.
The rhythm is complex, so this is a recommended idea for preschoolers.
Odoru Pompoko RinE-girls

It’s the theme song from the anime Chibi Maruko-chan, and since E-girls recently covered it, the song has gained even more cuteness and style.
I think it’s a perfect track for a school sports day dance that both kids and adults can really enjoy.
Also, if you imitate E-girls’ choreography, the result will turn out wonderfully.
Effeminate; overly sentimental; being clingy/whiny (context-dependent)Gōruden Bonbā

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.
