Shuriken Ninja
Use your whole body and try transforming into a ninja! Let us introduce “Shuriken Ninja.” Ninjas are super cool to kids, right? Many children probably admire their swift moves.
“Shuriken Ninja” features easy-to-remember lyrics and a catchy melody.
There are also three moments where you can show off special techniques, making it perfect for highlighting the kids’ cool sides! At the end of the song, there’s a section where you dodge a series of moves in a row, so you can create a real highlight scene!
S-s-stealthy footsteps
Let’s showcase the children at their best! Presenting “Shi Shi Shi no Nobi Ashi.” When you think of ninjas, you imagine various techniques for battling enemies, like shuriken throwing and concealment, right? This time, let’s try “Shi Shi Shi no Nobi Ashi,” which focuses on stealthy footsteps.
From the very beginning of the song, it’s sure to capture the children’s interest! By having them perform each movement slowly and quietly, you can highlight a charming contrast with their usual energetic selves—highly recommended!
Ninnin Nintama Ondo
Set in the Sengoku period, the story of Ninjutsu Academy—centered on the trio of Rantarō, Kirimaru, and Shinbei—is hugely popular! From the long-beloved TV anime “Nintama Rantarō,” we present “Nin-nin Nintama Ondo.” Many teachers and parents likely watched “Nintama Rantarō” when they were young.
In recent years, it has gained popularity not only among children but also among adults.
The choreography for “Nin-nin Nintama Ondo” can be adapted to suit children.
Try dancing while getting into character!
Mischief Ninja Arts Manual
The key is its exciting, upbeat feel! Let me introduce “Itazura Ninpōchō.” Some children just love playing pranks, don’t they? This time, let’s do a cute dance to “Itazura Ninpōchō,” which has mischief as its theme! It’s a good idea to adapt the choreography to the children’s ages and interests.
Since it’s up-tempo with a unique sound, a comical choreography will fit well.
Dive in with a sense of excitement and have fun!
Hattori-kun Ondo
From the ninja-themed anime Ninja Hattori-kun, we present the song Hattori-kun Ondo.
Ninja Hattori-kun is a Japanese gag manga in which Hattori leaves his village to continue his training in Tokyo, where he gets caught up in various incidents.
Let’s try dancing the Hattori-kun Ondo from the beloved national anime Ninja Hattori-kun.
The key points are its tune, which evokes an ondo performed at events like Bon Odori, and lyrics that weave in ninja-specific episodes!
Ninja Hattori-kun
Become a ninja with a beloved TV anime opening song! Introducing Ninja Hattori-kun.
Set to Ninja Hattori-kun, the opening theme from the well-known ninja-themed anime Ninja Hattori-kun, let’s dance while pretending to be the ninjas kids love! For costumes, using nonwoven fabric or colored plastic bags makes them easy for teachers and parents to make and easy for children to put on and take off—highly recommended! Be sure to give it a try.
PERFECT HUMANRADIO FISH
A party tune in an EDM style distinguished by its energetic beat.
The high-level dance skills and showmanship of the RADIO FISH performers are fully showcased, perfectly matching the rhythmic music.
Released in December 2015, the piece won the Wired Topic Award at the 49th Japan Cable Awards the following year.
It also appeared in the 67th NHK Kōhaku Uta Gassen, becoming a social phenomenon.
The subtly self-deprecating humor woven into the chorus and the powerful dance performance create an appealing contrast.
Even now, it enjoys enduring popularity as a classic track to energize dance time at school sports days and athletic festivals.
