Japanese sign-language songs; sign-language song(s)

We’ve put together a collection of “sign language songs” that express the lyrics of Japanese music using sign language.

Focusing on popular standards—from J-POP hits to school songs and children’s songs—we’ve carefully selected favorite tracks.

Sign language pairs beautifully with heartwarming, gentle tunes, so we’re introducing a wide range of songs that people of all ages, from young children to seniors, can enjoy signing along to.

There are upbeat numbers that make signing fun, pieces you can combine with dance, and plenty of ways to get creative and enjoy them.

It’s also great for studying sign language, making it perfect for beginners; and of course, those with experience are encouraged to give it a try as well.

A hit number by Spitz whose hopeful, positive lyrics have won widespread support.

It’s a song embraced by many generations, making it perfect to perform in front of others.

Because it expresses feelings for someone special, it would also be a great touch in moments when you want to convey gratitude or love.

This is a performance of Nana Mizuki’s “Egao wa Kimi no Tame ni Aru” in sign language.

There was a group version and a solo version, but this time we chose the group version.

It might be interesting to compare it with the solo version.

Kissing You of ApologyE-girls

Sign Language Performance Koshien PV [Sign Song Version] ~Gomen nasai no Kissing You~
Kissing You of ApologyE-girls

Among E-girls’ songs, this one is poppy, cute, and a bit up-tempo—and you can dance it in sign language too.

That said, because it’s a bit fast, keeping up with the full song length seems fairly challenging.

Even so, it’s a fun number, so give it a try!

An insert song from the movie “Rough.” It’s a farewell song sung at a relaxed tempo, a ballad whose poignant lyrics might bring a tear to your eye.

It’s perfect for send-offs and farewell scenes, such as for students, so it could be a nice choice to include as entertainment.

In conclusion

I introduced some Japanese sign language songs. Did you find a favorite? Learning sign language can be challenging, but when you pair it with music, it becomes twice as fun and much easier to remember, so I highly recommend it. I’d be happy if this helps more people take an interest in sign language.
