I want to sing this at the senior class recital! Choral pieces that 5-year-olds can sing with all their hearts (71–80)
Let’s draw a picture in the blue sky.
The chorus in the hook, with its striking shout of “Hey, yah!”, makes it a song that kids can enjoy singing along to.
The lyrics beautifully evoke children holding their dreams close to their little hearts and spreading their wings toward the boundless sky.
The instantly memorable, easy-to-listen-to melody is refreshing and leaves an impression like a clear, sunny sky.
It’s a bright song that seems to stir up strength from deep within the listener’s heart—I’d love to hear children sing it with all their energy.
Boyoyon MarchImai Yūzō, Haida Shōko
This is a choral song written and composed by singer-songwriter Keizo Nakanishi that fills everyone with smiles and energy.
Since its debut on NHK’s “Okaasan to Issho” in 2006, it has continued to be loved by both children and adults.
The song carries the message that everyone has a powerful spring under their feet: even when things are tough, you can spring over them and keep looking forward as you walk on.
Although it has an upbeat tempo, it also brings a moving touch that may bring tears to your eyes, making it a great choice for recitals and preschool graduation ceremonies.

Presenting the bright and gentle-toned “Arigatou no Hana” with a sign-language dance sounds like it will make for a memorable recital.
To help the children learn the signs, let’s practice repeatedly, part by part along with the lyrics.
Since sign language performed to music can change in tempo and feel, repeated practice is recommended.
When teaching the signs, it’s also a good idea to use photos or show picture books so the children can feel closer to sign language.
Let’s use facial expressions and body movements too, and have the teacher enjoy practicing together with the children.
Beyond the rainbow
Composed by Osamu Sakata, a former “Uta no Onii-san,” this popular song has been passed down through NHK’s “Okaasan to Issho.” The sparkling opening lyrics and light, buoyant melody are truly memorable.
Children will likely enjoy singing it too, since it features many familiar words they love, like “rain,” “rainbow,” and “sun.” Because it’s a song that has been cherished for many years, parents’ generation may also recognize it.
Its easy-to-listen quality is another plus.
It’s a piece that evokes a future full of hope and makes you want to hum along without even thinking.
My Treasure
With its gentle vocals, this is a graduation-from-kindergarten song that brings memories flooding back.
It’s filled with the joy of children’s growth and gratitude toward loved ones.
Describing the days spent together as “treasures,” the song gives you the courage to take a new step while cherishing the farewell.
It was included on the 2016 album “Sotsuen Omedetou” and was also used as a TV commercial song for Toyota Corolla Fukuoka.
It’s perfect for children to sing at graduation ceremonies and recitals, and it’s sure to warm the hearts of teachers and parents.
If everyone holds hands and sings together, it will be an even more moving performance.
