[J-Pop, Vocaloid, Anime Songs] Popular and Classic Songs Loved by Elementary School Students (41–50)
U.S.A.DA PUMP
In 2018, DA PUMP took the era by storm and made a comeback with this song.
It was such a huge hit that there were probably hardly any days when you didn’t hear it! The wave of its popularity reached across generations, even to elementary school kids.
I’m sure many elementary schools chose it as the music for their sports day dance.
Many of you have probably had the experience of passing by an elementary school student humming this song while out and about, haven’t you?
Full-Power BoySukima Suichi
This is a famous song by Sukima Switch, who have become artists known by everyone from elementary school kids to adults, thanks in part to frequent use in commercial jingles.
As the title suggests, it’s a track where the duo pours their full energy into the vocals—pay attention to their melodies.
The clean, flowing melody is also a distinctive feature.
Let It Go ~Ari no mama de~Matsu Takako
This song became a massive hit as an insert song in the Disney film Frozen.
Its lyrics, which celebrate the importance of living true to yourself, really resonate.
Released alongside the movie in January 2014, it drew a lot of attention, and Takako Matsu’s vocal performance was highly praised.
It enjoyed phenomenal popularity, including holding the top spot on RecoChoku’s rankings for 28 days.
It’s the perfect track when you want to get the crowd going at karaoke.
Loved by a wide range of ages, from adults to children, it’s a timeless classic that’s fun to sing and listen to!
Promise of SunflowersHata Motohiro
A big hit by Motohiro Hata, whose warm singing voice resonates in the heart.
Released in 2014 as the theme song for the film STAND BY ME Doraemon.
Loved by both children and adults, the song received high acclaim.
Just listening to it can bring tears to your eyes with its kindness, so I hope kids who don’t know it yet will give it a listen.
It became an unusually long-running hit for an anime song, holding the No.
1 spot on Japan’s overall iTunes chart for an extended period.
It’s a perfect song for expressing gratitude to someone you cherish.
DoraemonHoshino Gen
Gen Hoshino, who has been churning out hit songs like “SUN” and “Koi” to the point of becoming a social phenomenon, did it again with this track—which, as the title suggests, became the theme song for the anime Doraemon.
His signature pop sensibilities are on full display here! Plus, the lyrics are packed with references to the world of Doraemon, so be sure to read through them carefully!
Cinderella GirlKing&Prince
This is a song by King & Prince, a popular idol group from Johnny’s Entertainment, commonly known as Kinpuri.
It was released in 2018 as their debut single.
Chosen as the theme song for the drama “Hana Nochi Hare: Hanadan Next Season,” it became a hot topic.
The bright, uplifting melody and their sweet, refreshing vocals are wonderful, aren’t they? They’re very popular among women, and of course they have many female elementary school fans as well.
Strong Wind Slicked-Back (feat. Kaai Yuki)Yukopi
I think the current music scene for elementary school students can be broadly divided into four categories: hip-hop, K-pop, viral hits, and Vocaloid.
This time, I recommend “Kyofu All Back (feat.
Kaai Yuki)” as an easy-to-sing popular song from the Vocaloid category.
It’s a hit number by the popular Vocaloid producer Yukopi.
Its uniquely cute yet surreal vibe—something not seen in previous Vocaloid tracks—made a big splash in the scene.
With a range of about mid1 G to hi B, it’s relatively narrow for a Vocaloid song, and there are no fast-tongue-twister sections at all, so the difficulty is definitely easy.
