Norimaki Pera Pari OndoYuichiro Hanada, Maya Nagata
The lively, festival-style song Norimaki Pera Pari Ondo, which bursts with summer festival vibes, appeared in July 2022 as the “Song of the Month” on NHK’s Okaasan to Issho.
The lyrics are by Tomomi Fujimo, and the music is by veteran composer Yasuo Kosugi, who has created numerous songs for E-Tele.
Centered on the theme of norimaki (seaweed-wrapped rolls), its catchy “pera-to pari-to” rhythm sticks in your head, and the dazzling production and characters leave a strong impression.
Yuichiro Onii-san appears as Noriko, and Maya Onee-san as Makiko, making this an irresistibly addictive tune that naturally makes you crave norimaki just by watching!
Happy Easter
Let me introduce “Happy Easter,” a fun activity where you enjoy expressing yourself with big, full-body movements.
In the spirit of Easter, you’ll pretend to be bunnies and eggs.
Imitate a rabbit by jumping, and use your hands to show its fur as you really get into character.
Spread your arms wide to make the shape of a big egg, too.
You can enjoy this any day, but it’s perfect for Easter events and parties.
Dressing up as a bunny might make it even more exciting.
Give it a try and have fun!
Sofia the First – Opening Theme
This is the opening theme of the Disney animated series “Sofia the First.” When it comes to what young girls admire in early childhood, isn’t it Disney Princesses, Pretty Cure, and Sofia? The story of Sofia, an ordinary girl who suddenly becomes a princess, is the perfect dream for girls who want to be princesses.
While listening to this song, which expresses Sofia’s determination to do her best to become a princess, why not play princess with your friends?
One million years of happinessKeisuke Kuwata
I often heard it as the ending theme of the popular anime “Chibi Maruko-chan.” Although the lyrics written by Keisuke Kuwata aren’t specifically for children, they can be taken as a lovely message wishing for a child’s growth.
In the B section, you can enjoyably add hand claps—pan, pa-pan.
The chorus also has simple choreography that anyone can imitate.
It seems like a song that could work well for a small performance by children.

Yo-kai Exercise No. 1Dream5
The ending theme of a TV anime, sung by Dream5 and beloved by both children and adults, is creating a buzz.
This work charms listeners with its fun, upbeat style that portrays everyday little happenings—like oversleeping or being picky about food—as the doings of yokai.
Their 12th single, released in April 2014, was a tie-in with a TV Tokyo anime, and with choreography by Lucky Ikeda, it became a huge topic among children.
It’s a song that kids can enjoy moving their bodies to together, with easy-to-learn choreography that makes it a hit at nursery and kindergarten events.
It’s also recommended for parent-child recreation and as a dance for sports days.
Ultraman Ondo
It’s a fun number that mixes the world of tokusatsu heroes with the rhythm of bon odori.
The presence of Ultraman—familiar to everyone—overlaps with the music and captures children’s hearts.
Adding choreography to the “signature pose” lines in the lyrics makes it easy to enjoy even for first-time festival-goers.
The drums and percussion in the background evoke the feeling of summer and bring liveliness to the whole track.
The vocals are dynamic, with clear shifts between sections that make it thoroughly engaging to listen to.
It’s highly recommended not only for kids who love Ultraman, but also for anyone in the mood to soak up a festive atmosphere.
1, 2, 3After the Rain (Soraru × Mafumafu)
This is a song that was used as the opening theme for the anime Pokémon.
It’s a track by the singer unit After the Rain, released digitally in 2019.
Its bright, energetic sound is uplifting.
The lyrics’ worldview is also wonderful, inspiring you to try all sorts of things! Pokémon is a huge hit with kids.
If you play it during dance time at a nursery school or kindergarten, you can’t go wrong with this choice!
