Norimaki Pera Pari OndoHanada Yuuichirou, Nagata Maya

[Norimaki Pera Pali Ondo ◆ Live-Action Dance Ver. / Okaasan to Issho July 2022 Monthly Song] NHK E-Tele

The lively, festival-style song Norimaki Pera Pari Ondo, which bursts with summer festival vibes, appeared in July 2022 as the “Song of the Month” on NHK’s Okaasan to Issho.

The lyrics are by Tomomi Fujimo, and the music is by veteran composer Yasuo Kosugi, who has created numerous songs for E-Tele.

Centered on the theme of norimaki (seaweed-wrapped rolls), its catchy “pera-to pari-to” rhythm sticks in your head, and the dazzling production and characters leave a strong impression.

Yuichiro Onii-san appears as Noriko, and Maya Onee-san as Makiko, making this an irresistibly addictive tune that naturally makes you crave norimaki just by watching!

Maru Maru Mori Mori!Kaoru to Tomoki, tama ni Mukku.

Kaoru and Tomoki, sometimes Mook. – Maru Maru Mori Mori!

It’s a song that has long been loved as the theme for Fuji TV’s smash-hit drama “Marumo no Okite.” Even the fact that it was released under the name “Kaoru to Tomoki, Sometimes Mook” feels nostalgic now.

Above all, Mana Ashida and Fuku Suzuki’s “Marumori Dance” is adorable, and the two were in constant demand on TV at the time.

Since they were so young back then, it’s probably suitable even for the youngest kindergarten class.

The parents are exactly the generation who watched the drama when it aired, so it’s sure to be a hit!

Nursery school recital, “Dokonoko no Kinoko” 2011

Dokonoko no Kinoko, a song previously aired on NHK’s program “Okaasan to Issho,” was originally performed by the Kyoto band Zahatorte.

Its mysterious melody and lyrics evoke Russian music, and the way the tempo gradually speeds up at the end is really addictive.

It’s absolutely adorable when kids dance to it and it makes everyone smile, so please give it a try!
