swallowYOASOBI with Midorīzu
YOASOBI’s song “Tsubame” was released in 2021 as the theme song for NHK’s children’s program “Hirogare! Irotoridori.” The kid-friendly “Tsubame Dance” choreography is adorable, too.
The song is based on a story selected through a submission project titled “A Little Swallow’s Big Dream,” and carries the message of “living together” as fellow companions sharing the same planet.
It’s a piece that seems to teach us important lessons for today’s world, which faces so many challenges.
I wanna draw doodles in the sky.Sakushi: Yamashita Michio / Sakkyoku: Izumi Taku
“I Want to Doodle on the Sky” is a song that expresses the desire to draw on the vast, ever-expanding sky.
The music was composed by Taku Izumi, known for creating the familiar children’s song “Te no Hira o Taiyō ni,” and the lyrics were written by Michio Yamagami, who has penned numerous songs.
The lyrics describe wanting to draw things like so much food that it would startle the birds, slightly scary animals, and train tracks that could travel around the world.
Try singing it while imagining what kind of picture you would draw yourself.
Ballad of the MonstersSakushi: Okada Fumiko / Sakkyoku: Tokaiji Osamu
Enjoy a picture book–like world where kaiju appear in “Ballad of the Monster.” It was created as an original song for an NHK music program.
While many children might think of monsters as scary, the kaiju in this song are very gentle.
They dream of becoming better friends with humans and leaving the place they’re in to see many different sights.
Would you like to sing a song that takes the first step into the kaiju’s world? Try singing while imagining what kind of monster it might be.
To become friendsNEUTRINO
We’d like to introduce “Tomodachi ni Naru Tame ni,” a beloved staple song for graduation ceremonies and school performances.
With its warm message—that everyone we meet can be a friend and the time we spend together is a treasure—this piece resonates deeply with listeners.
This NEUTRINO rendition covers the classic by Toshihiko Shinzawa and Hirotaka Nakagawa, originally released in February 2006, using AI singing voice synthesis.
The layered choral work is beautifully crafted and perfect for helping children form an image for their chorus practice.
The kindness woven into the lyrics makes it especially fitting for older kindergarteners to sing with heartfelt emotion.
Incorporating sign language will make the stage even more moving.
On that special day when children show their growth to their parents, be sure to take it on together.

With its bright, poppy melody and lyrics that convey a message of believing in the power of a smile, it’s beloved by a wide range of listeners, from children to adults.
It’s perfect for singing at a kindergarten entrance ceremony, and it would also be super cute to dance to with parents at events like sports days.

Everyone is a heroAI
It’s a cheer song that delivers hope and energy.
The melody is based on a nursery rhyme familiar to everyone, creating a gentle atmosphere that resonates with children’s hearts.
AI’s powerful vocals and the gospel-style melody give children the courage to say, “I can do it” and “Let’s take a step forward.” The piece was created in January 2016 as a song for an au commercial and was included on the album THE BEST DELUXE EDITION.
It’s perfect for school entrance season—a song that naturally brings smiles to children’s faces.

Children all over the worldSakushi: Shinzawa Toshihiko / Sakkyoku: Nakagawa Hirotaka
Sekai-ju no Kodomotachi ga (Children of the World) is a wonderful song that conveys the importance of every single child.
Created by Toshihiko Shinzawa and Hirotaka Nakagawa, it has been loved by many since its release in 1987.
Its bright, buoyant melody makes it fun to sing.
The song is included in elementary school music textbooks and is widely cherished.
The lyrics, which sing about the impact that children’s pure feelings can have on the world, also give courage to adults.
I think it’s perfect for occasions that celebrate new beginnings, such as kindergarten graduation and entrance ceremonies.
