YouTube - ラジャ・マハラジャ

etc etc

Possibly not at all familiar to your teacher, but a personal favorite of mine is るるるの歌.
Seriously, I love them and end up turning the tv up whenever any of them are on.

Regular version;
YouTube - るるるの歌
Birth version;
YouTube - るるるの歌 おとこオオカミ編
Future version (currently running);
YouTube - るるるの歌～未来編～

Wow I love it, thanks for introducing me to it! I also have a suggestion..

Pikmin - Ai no Uta (YouTube - Pikmin - Ai no Uta (English Lyrics)) its slow pace sounds good
