DancerFukkun:)Tatsuki Fukuda
Primarily active in Tokyo, I have experience as a backup dancer for artists, a music video dancer, and a commercial dancer. I continue to work as a dancer while also engaging in article production. After discovering Michael Jackson in junior high school, I began dancing in my second year of high school. Since starting dance, in addition to the J-Pop and Japanese rock I had been listening to, I began exploring Western R&B, rap, alternative music, and other tracks commonly used for dance. In elementary school, I spent three years in a choir, and because I love singing, I often go to karaoke for fun. These days, I enjoy a wide range of music, from Japanese rock and rap to K-pop.

Ketsumeishi “Superstar”

Superstar Ketsumeishi

“Superstar” is a song by Ketsumeishi that was used as the opening theme for the anime Crayon Shin-chan.

It’s a lively dance track and an easy pick for karaoke.

The tempo is a bit fast, but the rhythm is easy to follow and there isn’t much pitch variation, so even kids who aren’t confident singers will find it easy to sing.

However, there are many rap sections, so if you’re not comfortable with rap, be sure to practice.

That said, there aren’t many super fast parts, making it approachable even for children.

Anpanman Taiso (TV Size ver.) [Official Ending Theme]

Anpanman Taiso Dreaming

Anpanman is a character hugely popular with toddlers.

It’s so widespread that there might not be a child who doesn’t know him.

Surely today’s elementary school kids also grew up watching the anime “Let’s Go! Anpanman” when they were little.

So how about singing an Anpanman song for the first time in a while? Our recommendation is “Anpanman Taisou.” It’s one of the anime’s ending themes.

As a song from a toddler-oriented anime, it’s naturally easy to sing, and its gentle, encouraging lyrics still resonate in your heart even now that you’re older.

“Giant Dream” MV - Full Version

Giant Dream Subaru Kimura (Gian)

Takeshi Gouda is a character from the anime Doraemon, which is popular among elementary school students.

In the story, he is often called by his nickname, Gian.

As for Gian, it’s officially established that he has a “terrible singing voice.” While he can just barely carry a tune, those around him consider his singing so awful that it’s unbearable to listen to.

For elementary schoolers who aren’t confident in their singing, we recommend “Giant Dream”! This is Gian’s debut song as a singer.

Since it’s sung by Gian to begin with, it’s absolutely fine if you go off key.

In fact, being off-key might even make everyone happier!
