Let's sing and dance along to popular songs! Recommended songs popular on children's shows (21–30)
Hyurara boon-boon!Yuichiro Hanada, Maya Nagata
Let me introduce a song that gets everyone from kids to adults pumped up: “Hyura Love Boom Boom!” It’s a pop, happy track that’s perfect for shaking off morning drowsiness or lifting your spirits when you’re feeling low.
First performed in March 2024, the song was written and composed by Nobuhiro Mitomo.
From the intro to the very end, it stays consistently rhythmic, and with many repeated lyrics, it’s easy for children to remember.
Plus, dancing along with the energetic choreography is sure to boost your mood!
Tsubame (YOASOBI with Midories)
Tsubame, known as the theme song for NHK’s program “Hirogare! Irotoridori,” is based on Nana Otsuki’s novel “The Little Swallow’s Big Dream.” Its gentle lyrics, told from the perspective of a small swallow, resonate deeply.
As a song by the popular music duo YOASOBI and one that has also aired on NHK’s “Minna no Uta,” many children are familiar with it.
It’s great as a dance number for sports festivals, and since the tempo is relatively slow, it’s also fun to play on instruments.

What is this, Panda Samba?
Let me introduce the super upbeat “Nanda Panda Samba” dance.
The key is to enjoy the dance by keeping rhythm while blending samba with panda-like moves.
It’s also fun to move your feet as if stepping to a samba beat.
Incorporating panda motions into the dance might help you feel closer to pandas and really liven things up.
Since the overall rhythm is snappy, keep smiling and dance along to the tempo.
It could be nice to finish with your favorite pose at the end.
The railroad tracks go on forever.
This song, which sings of railroad tracks stretching on forever, gives a wonderful, hope-filled impression of moving toward the future while traveling by train with friends.
When you sing it while imagining the changing scenery—over hills and fields—it makes you feel the excitement of setting off on an adventure.
Since it first aired on NHK’s “Minna no Uta” in December 1962, it has been loved for many years.
In 2021, the rock band Yabai T-Shirts Yasan arranged it as a commercial song for “Momotaro Dentetsu,” which became a hot topic.
How about singing it at a recital with everyone linked together like a train? Holding hands or putting arms around each other’s shoulders while singing will deepen the joy of cooperation and the sense of unity.
It’s a highly recommended piece that can bring out children’s smiles with a lively, spirited chorus.
Age-age donuts
We’d like to introduce a donut-themed song and dance called “Age-Age Donuts.” The upbeat tempo and feel-good lyrics are key points.
When the lyrics say “Age-Age Donuts,” extend both arms and strike a donut pose.
Matching movements to the lyrics and incorporating rhythmic motions will make the dance even more fun.
While asking everyone what flavor of donut they like, enjoy the dance as if you’re making delicious donuts together.
If you’re performing at a recital or event, we also recommend colorful costumes and decorations in donut-inspired colors.
Nyan-Para☆Dance
Let me introduce “Nyan-Para☆Dance,” a routine full of adorable, cat-like moves.
The dance features motions that resemble a cat stretching its body or reaching out its paws.
Along with the “nyan” phrases in the lyrics, get into character as a cute kitty and move your body.
Imagining soft, supple motions may help you look even more cat-like.
Try adding adjustments to suit different ages and have fun with it.
The rhythmic, upbeat song is also recommended for children.
Applause for you!Yuichiro Hanada, Maya Nagata, Makoto Fukuo, Anzuki Akimoto
Clapping serves as the motif for a bright, refreshing cheer song, “Kimi ni Hakushu!” which appeared as the February 2023 song on NHK’s Okaasan to Issho.
The lyrics were written by the unit “Aritarou,” and the composition was handled by Taro Masuda himself.
Its rhythmic melody and handclaps resonate with fun! The lyrics are filled with positive phrases like “A round of applause for the one I love,” “A round of applause for being born,” and “A round of applause for the miracle that we met,” making it a song that brings energy and gratitude to both children and adults.
Be sure to listen while clapping along with your kids!
