Museum of the FuturePerfume

[Official Music Video] Perfume “Museum of the Future”

Perfume’s “Mirai no Museum” is a memorable song that captures the excitement elementary school children feel as they pursue their dreams and goals.

While Perfume is often associated with a modern, stylish image centered on techno sounds and might not seem particularly child-oriented, their personalities and choreography have a cute charm that makes them popular with younger kids, too.

Additionally, the song is the theme for the film “Doraemon: Nobita’s Secret Gadget Museum,” so it’s also widely recognized by children who have seen the movie.

Headlong March

Sometimes you need to throw yourself into things to lift your spirits, right? Some elementary school kids might not even know how to cheer themselves up, but if that happens, just try going all out first! The song I recommend is Kanjani Eight’s “Gamushara March.” It’s an upbeat, feel-good song that hits home precisely because they’re such relentlessly cheerful idols.

The rhythm of the chorus, “Gamushara la la la,” is great—easy to remember and perfect for elementary school kids to sing together and have fun with.

Hands to the Sun — Vocals: AI Kiritan (with lyrics)

It’s a classic children’s song brimming with the joy and hope of living.
