[Boost Your Energy] A Collection of Cool and Funny Team Huddles

10 years as a kindergarten teacher / elementary school teacher / junior and senior high school teacher / childminderkepiko
Graduated from Kunitachi College of Music, Faculty of Music (now: Department of Music Culture and Education, Early Childhood Music Education major). In elementary school, my homeroom teacher was Jun Kusaba, a game researcher. After graduating from university, I worked as a kindergarten teacher for 10 years and as an after-school childcare instructor for 7 years, then took a position as a music teacher at an international school in Singapore. In addition to music education, I engaged in activities that introduced Japanese culture, traditional games, and recreational activities, working with many children. Later, through freelance writing, planning, and editing at Shogakukan, I met many delightful adults and experienced the joy of communicating and sharing. Drawing on the perspective cultivated in the field of education and my experience as an editor, I provide practical information with an emphasis on both input and output, mainly in areas related to music and children. My hobbies include instruments, singing, handicrafts, toys, drawing, traditional games, the outdoors, and books. My special skill is spinning-top tricks.

During my student years at Kyoto College of Science and Technology, I studied a wide range of fields including sound, lighting, and video technology, building a foundation in comprehensive stage production and creative expression. After graduation, I joined a music production company, where I still work, consistently building experience in production and engaging in a variety of music-centered tasks. Currently, I mainly handle articles for children, drawing on what I’ve learned about parenting and what I feel and discover through daily interactions with my kids. I hope my work can be of help to you, even in a small way!

Performance group’s huddle

Popular performance groups like EXILE and E-girls also form a huddle before live shows to fire themselves up.

Triggered by a cue from one member, everyone might shout loudly—like “Oh!”—clap hands with the person next to them, or respond to a call of “We are” by saying their group’s name.

Each group has its own style of huddle.

Before singing or dancing—basically before doing anything—raising your energy by projecting your voice seems to be a key point.

Try shouting the same word together in a big, booming voice to crank up the voltage of your fighting spirit all at once!

♪ Original Song – NAO – NAO

Based on a skit created by the comedy duo COWCOW, “Tondeke Waki no Nioi” gained buzz on TikTok.

Its catchy rhythm, unique song, and dance are delightfully addictive.

The repeated phrases are a signature feature, making it perfect for huddles to boost team unity.

The key to the choreography is angling your body inward toward the circle.

Chanting the funny lines together can blow away pre-game nerves and anxiety.

Form a full-throttle huddle to fire up your passion before the match.
