Nekutarin

This song was created as the theme for NHK Educational TV’s popular program “Tensai TV-kun.” It vividly expresses the mindset of valuing children’s senses and intuition, set to a bright, pop melody.

With warm vocals by Macaroni Enpitsu and fun choreography by yurinasia, the piece achieves a wonderful harmony.

It’s also included on the album “Otona no Namida,” and is performed on the show alongside the energetic dance routines of the TV Warriors.

As a song you can dance to freely with kids, it’s perfect for music time at nursery schools and kindergartens, or for dance segments at sports days.

Carrying a message about cherishing one’s individuality, it’s also recommended as a theme song for various events.

A fun song packed with Halloween excitement is included on the September 2020 album “Shimajiro Ages 1–2: Hit Songs.” With its bright, rhythmic melody and a delightful world where friendly ghosts enjoy a party, it sparks children’s imaginations.

The energetic vocals by Shimajiro and Mana Ogawa are another highlight.

This track is perfect not only for Halloween-season events but also for daycare and kindergarten activities, as well as family parties—any occasion where kids can sing, dance, and have fun together with their friends!

Heisei 25 (2013) Tega no Oka Kindergarten Music Recital – Senior Class – Singing – Let’s Paint a Picture in the Blue Sky

Let us introduce a wonderful song that parents and guardians can sing at the entrance ceremony.

“Aoi Sora ni E o Kakou” (Let’s Draw on the Blue Sky) is a lively piece that sings of a dreamlike world where you draw a big ship in the blue sky and set off on an adventure.

It features lyrics that spark children’s imaginations and a bright, upbeat melody.

The energetic call-and-response “Ei! Ya!” is fun too, making it great to sing together with the children.

It’s also popular in educational settings, so singing it at the entrance ceremony will surely delight the kids.

It’s perfect for easing the nerves of children who may feel anxious in a new environment.

My Mixed JuiceSakushi: Gomi Taro / Sakkyoku: Shibuya Takeshi

Japanese Children’s Song – Doyo – My Mixed Juice – Boku no Mikkusu Juusu

It’s a bright, feel-good children’s song released in 1982.

If you want your kindergarteners to sing out loud and proud, this is the one I recommend.

Even that famous “Uta no Oneesan,” Shoko Haida, has sung this song.

Verses 1, 2, and 3 are divided into morning, afternoon, and night parts, so if you’re thinking of forming groups and splitting the singing, this might be perfect! The chorus includes the song title, “Mixed Juice,” as lyrics, and that part really lets you belt it out comfortably.

Even friends who aren’t confident singers will surely be able to sing it loudly.
