Full of dreamsSeki Yumiko
Its refreshing melody brims with kindness and dreams, and the vocals—filled with the children’s wholehearted excitement—are truly captivating.
You can feel the desire to cherish the spirited feelings from childhood while enjoying encounters with new friends and the thrill of adventure.
In harmony with Yumiko Seki’s translucent voice, each day feels fun and pure emotions overflow.
Released in April 1990, this work captured the hearts of audiences from children to adults as the opening theme for the first season of the TV anime Chibi Maruko-chan.
It’s the perfect cheer song for energetic kids who can quickly make friends in a new environment.
Yokai Shiritori
The song “Yokai Shiritori” features all kinds of yokai in its lyrics.
Listen closely to hear which yokai appear.
Since it’s structured as shiritori, you might also enjoy it as a kind of wordplay.
It could be fun to ask the children which yokai they like and work their original yokai names into the song to get everyone excited.
It’s a tune that can be enjoyed in many settings, such as summer festivals or overnight daycare events in the summer.
By all means, try creating a new yokai song together with the children.

Anpanman’s March
When it comes to characters beloved by infants and toddlers, Anpanman is at the top of the list! Many children probably know the song Anpanman no March, which became the opening theme for the anime “Soreike! Anpanman.” The lyrics conjure up the image of the kind and strong Anpanman, and you can just imagine kids striking poses as if they were Anpanman themselves.
While it’s common to enjoy dancing with original choreography, trying your hand at playing it on an instrument is also highly recommended!

“Gambarappa☆Gambarūn” is an uplifting song that gives you energy in the summer.

You’ll feel more energized as you sing, so try singing along with some hand claps.
For older and middle kindergarteners, it’s also recommended to use instruments like castanets to make it even more fun.
On hot days when playing outside isn’t possible, using instruments while enjoying the song can help the children feel more united and have an even better time together.
