LemonYonezu Kenshi
It’s wonderful to take on a sign-language dance with a gentle, bittersweet song.
The piece I’d like to introduce is Lemon.
It’s one of the signature songs by singer-songwriter Kenshi Yonezu.
The lyrics compare the relationship with a dear person you can no longer meet to a piece of fruit that has been cut—once a whole, now separated.
When paired with a sign-language dance, the performance becomes even more heart-wrenching.
Eine KleineYonezu Kenshi
In addition to the theory that it’s a song about unrequited love, there’s also the view that Kenshi Yonezu’s “Eine Kleine” celebrates the birth of a child.
Either way, it’s a masterpiece that seems to sing of a grand yet slightly bittersweet love.
As a sign-language dance, you can use your whole body to express its world in a very cool, beautiful way.
Rather than insisting on rendering every lyric in sign language, transforming the emotions conveyed by the lyrics into full-body expression turns it into a dynamic dance.
It would be wonderful to build up each movement with care, layering them tenderly.
Mount Fuji
The beautiful traditional Japanese song “Fujinoyama” is perfect not only for nursery and kindergarten recitals but also for events at senior care facilities.
It features many easy-to-understand hand signs like “first verse,” “mountain,” and “cloud,” making it ideal for beginners trying sign language for the first time.
There are also unique signs such as “thunder,” which makes it feel friendly and approachable.
All the lyrics can be smoothly converted into sign language, and the melody is easy for everyone to sing together—another nice plus.
Give it a try as a group!

A Cheer Song Dedicated to YouHIPPY
I’d like to introduce “Kimi ni Sasageru Ouenka,” a song that’s gone viral on YouTube and TikTok.
It’s the major-label debut single by singer-songwriter HIPPY.
As the title suggests, it’s crafted to encourage listeners.
However, instead of just pushing you forward, it also gently stays by your side—that’s the key point.
Perhaps because of these lyrics, many baseball players use it as their walk-up music.
It also has a slow tempo, which makes it easy to pair with sign language.
Shape of LoveMISIA
Some of you may be thinking, “I want to express my gratitude to someone special through a sign-language dance.” If so, I’d like to recommend “Ai no Katachi.” This song is a collaboration between MISIA and HIDE from GReeeeN, and it’s also known as the theme song for the drama “Gibo to Musume no Blues.” It’s a powerful ballad that sings of gratitude and love for someone important.
Using this song will help your feelings come across clearly.
RPGSEKAI NO OWARI
SEKAI NO OWARI’s “RPG” is also perfect for sign language dance.
This song was written as the theme for the film “Crayon Shin-chan: Very Tasty! B-Class Gourmet Survival!!” and was later used as a theme song on TV programs and in Toshiba commercials.
Its content, set to a light, breezy melody, sings about the importance of human connections.
The gentle tone makes it easy to pair with sign language dance, while the chorus builds just enough to be especially appealing.
rainbowSuda Masaki
Guaranteed to warm your heart, here’s an introduction to the sign-language dance for “Niji.” First, the song used is a piece written by Masaki Suda as the theme for the film “STAND BY ME Doraemon 2.” In line with the movie’s story, it sings about the happiness of two people in love.
The video features a sign language dance created by fitness instructor EMI.
Its charm lies in the well-balanced combination of sign language and dance.
