fireworks (launched into the sky)DAOKO × Yonezu Kenshi

DAOKO × Kenshi Yonezu 'Uchiage Hanabi' MUSIC VIDEO

This song was created as the theme for the film “Fireworks, Should We See It from the Side or the Bottom?” and is a collaborative track by the hugely popular singer-songwriter Kenshi Yonezu and rap singer DAOKO.

I imagine many elementary school students have seen the movie as well.

The track carries Yonezu’s signature style, and the vocals of these two popular singers leave a strong impression.

It’s a recommended song that captures a refreshing, summery vibe.

RPGSEKAI NO OWARI

SEKAI NO OWARI「RPG」

Elementary school kids often start liking a song because it’s the theme of an anime they love, right? This track was used as the theme song for the Crayon Shin-chan movie, Crayon Shin-chan: Very Tasty! B-Class Gourmet Survival!!.

I bet many children discovered SEKAI NO OWARI through the song and the film.

Centered on the theme of adventure, the song is fun and approachable for kids, with a marching rhythm and even a dance.

Some children probably tried dancing to it, too! No matter how many years pass after its release, it’s a song you can always enjoy singing and dancing to.

Gen Hoshino – Idea (Official Video)

This is a song by Gen Hoshino that became extremely popular thanks to the “Koi Dance,” and it was frequently seen on social media and at events.

It’s a well-known track because it was the theme song for NHK’s 2018 morning drama series “Half, Blue.” He’s also handled the theme song for Doraemon, making him popular even among elementary school students.

This track is recommended because you can also enjoy a performance by Hoshino himself, who is a marimba player.

This is a rock-style Soran Bushi performed by Fischer’s, a YouTuber group popular among elementary school students.

It was released in 2019 on their second album, “New Challengers.” Soran Bushi is often used as a dance piece at school sports festivals, so many people are likely familiar with it.

The modern arrangement and sound are really cool.

100% Courage – Nintama Rantarō (Full)

This is the long-beloved theme song of the anime Nintama Rantarō.

Even when the singer changes, the song itself stays the same, so it’s no exaggeration to say most kids know it by heart! As children, we’re drawn to its bright melody, but as adults, we find ourselves reflecting on its profound lyrics.
