It is NEWS’s 31st single, released in November 2024.
The song serves as the theme for the drama “Takasugi-san’s Bento,” starring group member Keiichiro Koyama.
Known for clever wordplay and a distinctive worldview, Zettakun handled the production, and the family-themed lyrics leave a strong impression.
A campaign encouraging dance video posts on social media is also underway, and the song’s arrangement makes it fun to dance to.
Brimming with playful spirit that brings out your inner child, it’s a tune that parents and kids can enjoy together.

“PERFECT HUMAN” is a song by RADIO FISH, led by the comedy duo Oriental Radio.
The chorus repeatedly chants member Mr.
Nakata’s name, and the “Flying Man” choreography became incredibly popular.
If there’s a Mr.
Nakata or a Nakata-kun in your class, it’s guaranteed to hype everyone up! There are also flashy moves like the thousand-armed Kannon pose, so it’s recommended for group performances with larger numbers rather than smaller groups.
This is the best!HKT48
This is “Saikou kayo” by HKT48, an idol group active in Hakata.
It’s a fun track bursting with the lively, energetic spirit that defines idols.
The call-and-response shouts create an easy-to-groove rhythm, which is a noteworthy highlight.
In the music video, the members’ dance features a rapid succession of moves that might be a bit intense and challenging.
But what matters most is how much fun you have dancing.
Even if you tweak the choreography a little, the song is a full-on idol dance number—so flash your brightest smiles and enjoy dancing to it!

They have a bright, positive vibe with uplifting messages.
The music was released digitally in January 2024, and the CD came out on May 5.
If you practice using the choreography video on LDH’s YouTube channel, you can perform it energetically at school sports festivals, too.
The lyrics express the determination to move forward despite inner struggles, making it perfect as a cheer song for kids.
With a fun, danceable tempo and lyrics that resonate, let’s all get excited together!

Family partykyarī pamyu pamyu
Kyary Pamyu Pamyu’s “Family Party” is a song that makes you want to dance in cute, poppy costumes.
Released in 2014 and used as the theme song for the film “Crayon Shin-chan: Serious Battle! Robot Dad Strikes Back,” it’s widely known among children because Crayon Shin-chan is hugely popular with elementary schoolers.
The choreography is memorable for its comical, adorable moves with robot-like elements sprinkled throughout to match the movie’s theme.
There are many intricate movements, so the difficulty is a bit high, but since Shin-chan himself has danced it, with practice you’ll be able to enjoy dancing it too!
Senbonzakura
Senbonzakura is a song written, composed, and arranged by Kurousa-P.
It has been covered by many artists and remains hugely popular in “tried singing” and “tried playing” videos.
It’s a big hit with children—why not dance to it cheerfully and energetically? In keeping with the title “Senbonzakura,” you could use cherry blossom branches, and since it has a traditional Japanese flavor, it would also look great with Japanese-style costumes.
If your team incorporates movements like Yosakoi, it could become a wonderful performance for a school sports day and a great memory with friends.
