Anime songs popular with elementary school students. Featured anime theme and insert songs (41–50)
Chaotic Wacha Life!FRUITS ZIPPER
Known by the nickname “Furuppā,” FRUITS ZIPPER, who won the Best New Artist Award at the 65th Japan Record Awards for “Watashi no Ichiban Kawaii Tokoro,” have had their song selected as the opening theme for the TV anime Crayon Shin-chan starting in October 2025.
It’s an energetic track where Shin-chan’s free-spirited, unpredictable daily life blends with the group’s “NEW KAWAII” aesthetic.
Also drawing attention for being the first opening theme change in about five years, the song is crafted to make you want to dance like Shin-chan and can be enjoyed by parents and kids alike.
Loosey-goosey DE-O!Shinnosuke Nohara
It’s such a fun, upbeat rap-style track sung by Shin-chan, isn’t it? The theme is Shin-chan’s carefree, laid-back everyday life, and just listening to it lifts your spirits and naturally brings a smile to your face.
With the director himself writing the lyrics, the song is packed with Shin-chan’s unhurried, slightly precocious charm.
It was released as a single in January 2005, and it served as the opening theme for the TV anime for about five years starting in October 2004.
It’s also included on the album “Crayon Shin-chan Theme Song CD: Kikanakya Son, Song, Song for You.” It’s a perfect pick-me-up when you need a boost.
Why do Dad’s feet smell? feat. Shinnosuke & HiroshiTakeshita☆Paradise
This is a relentlessly cheerful song themed around Hiroshi’s smelly feet, a running joke in the series.
Performed by Takeshita☆Paradise—who champions a quirky-cute vibe—together with Shinnosuke and Hiroshi, it radiates warmth.
The message brims with humor and heart: a father’s foot odor is proof of his hard work supporting the family, and that very smell is the “scent of love.” The piece was released in April 2024 and was used as an insert song in episode 1236 of the TV anime broadcast in June of the same year.
It features an up-tempo beat and irresistibly copyable call-and-response lines.
It’s a feel-good track perfect for listening with the whole family while sharing a big laugh.
OtonokeCreepy Nuts
The opening sound for the TV anime Dandadan masterfully fuses the disparate elements of music and the supernatural, crafting an epic sonic world.
With Creepy Nuts’ razor-sharp rap and singular worldview, it breathes new allure into this occult-themed story.
Written specifically for the anime, which began airing in October 2024, the track showcases the full extent of DJ Matsunaga and R-Shitei’s exceptional skills.
Also included on the album Legion, it serves as a bridge connecting the distinct cultures of hip-hop and anime.
Its mysteriously compelling melodies and powerful beats make it a recommended listen even for those who don’t usually follow anime songs.
Whether in an after-school classroom or through earbuds on the commute to school, it’s sure to capture the hearts of middle schoolers seeking a fresh musical encounter.
Time After TimeMai Kuraki
It was used as the theme song for a Detective Conan movie.
Since it’s one of the more popular film tracks, many of you may have heard it.
The song has a traditional Japanese feel and exudes a slightly mature atmosphere, which is nice.
One dayThe ROOTLESS
This is a song that was used as an opening theme for the anime One Piece.
It’s a track that’s quite popular among elementary school students, and it evokes memories of some of the most beloved characters.
Since it’s a moving song, I think it’s one that children with rich sensitivity should get to know while they’re still in elementary school.
cloudy skyDOES
These are songs from the anime Gintama.
I think this anime is very popular even among elementary school students.
DOES’s slightly rough, traditional-Japanese-flavored tracks really stick in your head after just one listen.
I’d love for elementary school kids who like battle-themed shows to give them a try.
