This work, which begins with a warm melody that gently embraces children, was created as the January “Tsuki-uta” (monthly song) for TV Tokyo’s program for infants and toddlers, Synapusyu.
It carries a message about enjoying each day, and its gentle tone that stays close to children’s hearts is especially memorable.

Their clear, expansive vocals vividly paint the joyful moments nestled in everyday life.

Mysterious PocketSakushi: Mado Michio / Sakkyoku: Watanabe Shigeru

“Fushigi na Pocket” is a song about a dreamlike pocket that makes biscuits multiply every time you pat it.
Many people may have heard it in childhood and tried patting their own pockets over and over.
You can enjoy it together with the choreography—patting your pocket with a light pop-pop, or gently swaying as you imagine having such a pocket.
It’s a beloved children’s song that has been cherished for many years, with adorable anecdotes like kids actually putting biscuits in their pockets, patting them, and ending up crumbling them to bits.
Banana Parent and Childsakushi: Seki Kazuo / sakkyoku: Fukuda Wakako

“Banana Family” is a song that incorporates elements of tongue twisters.
The lyrics introduce a family of personified bananas.
Since the syllable “na” appears repeatedly, your brain starts to get tangled as you sing.
The sequence is repeated three times in the song, with the tempo increasing toward the end.
This makes it enjoyable not only to sing but also to use as part of a game.
First, print out the lyrics and have everyone try to memorize them.

This is a popular song from NHK’s “Okaasan to Issho,” known for its gentle, dreamlike atmosphere.
Through the image of soap bubbles riding the wind and dancing in the sky, it sings of “adventure” and “the importance of dreaming.” With Mimori Yusa’s clear, transparent vocals and lyrics that nurture rich imagination, the piece was broadcast in April 2018 as the “Song of the Month.” As children enter preschool and face both excitement and anxiety about a new environment, singing it together offers comfort and naturally gives them the courage to look ahead.
It’s a heartwarming song that helps welcome the start of a new life with a bright, hopeful feeling.
