Deputy Editor of the web media RAG MUSIC. I’m Sasashina, a mom currently raising an elementary schooler and a preschooler. In my student days, I studied broadly at Kyoto College of Science and Technology, covering sound, lighting, and video technology, and acquired skills from comprehensive stage production to the fundamentals of creative expression. After graduation, I joined a music production company, where I still work, and have consistently built my career on the production side, taking on diverse tasks centered around music. Currently, I mainly handle articles for children, drawing on what I’ve learned about parenting in my own way, as well as insights and discoveries from interacting with my kids every day. I hope I can be of help to you, even just a little!

Anime songs popular among elementary school students: Theme and insert songs from trending anime (61–70)

Anpanman Taiso (Anpanman Gymnastics)Dreaming

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.

This is the opening theme of season 1 of the anime Cardcaptor Sakura.

Since the new Clear Card arc started airing, I imagine some people have begun watching the older episodes as well.

I think it’s a very cute song.

This track has an outstandingly catchy vibe, and I think it’s one that energetic elementary school kids would definitely love.

Kawaii is Magic FRUITS ZIPPER

A bright, uplifting song themed around the importance of chasing your dreams is here! This new track from FRUITS ZIPPER is the main theme for the film “Butt Detective the Movie: Star and Moon.” Set to an upbeat, energetic melody, it gently celebrates the beauty of living true to yourself.

The single CD is set to be released in May 2025, and the members’ ventures into voice acting are also drawing attention.

Blending the group’s signature clear vocals with the charm of a pop tune, this song is a perfect fit for school events or karaoke.

Sing and dance together, and the whole place is sure to be wrapped in a happy vibe.

Scab – Hidenori Chi-wata, Zatch Bell! (Full)

Scab Chiwata Hidenori

It’s the opening theme of the anime “Zatch Bell!” I think it’s a song kids should listen to at least once.

The meaning of the lyrics can feel a bit different depending on whether you hear it as a child or as an adult, but it’s a god-tier track among anime songs that you ought to know.

If you’re familiar with the anime’s story, it might feel nostalgic.

Chilli Beans. – Raise [TV animation “ONE PIECE” Ending Theme Song]

RaiseChilli Beans.

This is the song that also plays as the ending theme for the hugely popular anime One Piece.

It’s included on Chilli Beans.

’ fourth single, “for you.” Chilli Beans.

, known to fans as Chiribi, are also familiar for their theme songs in dramas like Play It Cool, Guys and Hana Sugisaki’s Off-Camera Days.

This track perfectly overlaps One Piece’s straightforward spirit with Chiribi’s fresh sentiments, saying, “We don’t know what awaits us, but let’s keep moving forward on our own two feet.” It’s a wonderful song that even people who don’t know the anime should give a listen to.
