Yoga teacherYuko S.
Nice to meet you. I’m Yuko S. I teach yoga, meditation, and Laughter Yoga Music. I offer Laughter Yoga Music because ensuring children’s psychological safety fosters the development of their brains and minds and helps them cultivate their talents. I have produced many Laughter Yoga Music recreation sessions that simply let people enjoy laughter, music, and dance—connecting India and Japan via Zoom for both children and adults. My track record includes regularly held Nerima Laughter Yoga classes, regularly held Kichijoji Laughter Yoga Music classes, and occasional Laughter Yoga Music events. I’m currently involved in various kinds of work, and as I began facing myself more deeply, I continued studying NLP—sometimes called an instruction manual for the brain and mind—as well as the deeper unconscious realms of the psyche; I now also work as a psychological therapist. I love music, too. Back in my student days, I was such a big fan of the band LÄ-PPISCH that I even joined their fan club. I was a total live-music girl, spending most of my part-time earnings on indie concert tickets, lol. I listen to music across genres, and since I’ve lived in India, I especially listen to a lot of Indian music.

We’ve put together a collection of “sign language songs” that express the lyrics of Japanese music using sign language.

Focusing on popular standards—from J-POP hits to school songs and children’s songs—we’ve carefully selected favorite tracks.

Sign language pairs beautifully with heartwarming, gentle tunes, so we’re introducing a wide range of songs that people of all ages, from young children to seniors, can enjoy signing along to.

There are upbeat numbers that make signing fun, pieces you can combine with dance, and plenty of ways to get creative and enjoy them.

It’s also great for studying sign language, making it perfect for beginners; and of course, those with experience are encouraged to give it a try as well.

A smile exists for youNana Mizuki

A Smile Is Here for You (Sign Language Song - Everyone Version)

A Smile Exists for You - Nana Mizuki

This is a performance of Nana Mizuki’s “Egao wa Kimi no Tame ni Aru” in sign language.

There was a group version and a solo version, but this time we chose the group version.

It might be interesting to compare it with the solo version.

StoryAI

AI – Story

StoryAI

A heartwarming number that sings of gratitude and love for someone special.

Its popularity comes from the AI’s powerful voice and the warmth of its lyrics.

It’s deeply moving even when expressed in sign language, and I think it’s also a perfect number for conveying love to someone important.

Kissing You of ApologyE-girls

Sign Language Performance Koshien PV [Sign Song Version] ~Gomen nasai no Kissing You~

Kissing You of Apology E-girls

Among E-girls’ songs, this one is poppy, cute, and a bit up-tempo—and you can dance it in sign language too.

That said, because it’s a bit fast, keeping up with the full song length seems fairly challenging.

Even so, it’s a fun number, so give it a try!

HEAR-T Sign “Kanade” JSL Sign Language

Kanade Sukima Switch

An insert song from the movie “Rough.” It’s a farewell song sung at a relaxed tempo, a ballad whose poignant lyrics might bring a tear to your eye.

It’s perfect for send-offs and farewell scenes, such as for students, so it could be a nice choice to include as entertainment.

In conclusion

I introduced some Japanese sign language songs.

Did you find a favorite? Learning sign language can be challenging, but when you pair it with music, it becomes twice as fun and much easier to remember, so I highly recommend it.

I’d be happy if this helps more people take an interest in sign language.
