A precious treasureSakushi sakkyoku: Shinzawa Toshihiko
A graduation song written and composed by Toshihiko Shinzawa that speaks to children about treasuring the invisible “gems” they found during their days at the kindergarten: the friends they met, the songs they sang in unison, and the times they laughed together.
Included on an album of the same name released in August 2003, it has been sung at kindergartens and nursery schools across Japan ever since.
The lyrics feature many repeated phrases, making them easy for children to remember.
Choreography is also introduced so it can be performed together with sign language, allowing children to express their feelings with their whole bodies—another appealing point.
It’s the perfect song to sing at graduation ceremonies or farewell gatherings to express gratitude to teachers.
Seeing children sing while reflecting on their memories in their own words will surely touch the teachers’ hearts deeply.
Try incorporating sign language to create an even more heartfelt performance.
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.
pinky promiseSakushi: Shinzawa Toshihiko / Sakkyoku: Nakagawa Hirotaka
The song “Yubikiri” makes you want to promise, “We’ll be friends forever,” as you remember days spent with friends.
The lyrics are by Toshihiko Shinzawa and the music is by Hirotaka Nakagawa.
Set against everyday, simple scenes, the song warmly and movingly portrays children’s shifting emotions and unchanging friendship.
Although it was originally released around 2007, it was included in the best-of album “Toshihiko Shinzawa & Hirotaka Nakagawa: Full of Songs,” released in July 2017, and has since become beloved at many preschools and kindergartens.
It’s also lovely to sing while making the pinky-swear gesture and looking at each other’s faces.
Please consider choosing this piece for important occasions like graduation or farewell ceremonies to deepen the bonds between friends.
La la la of You and Me
With graduation from preschool approaching, some children may be feeling a little lonely.
“Kimi to Boku no La La La” is a song that gently stays close to those feelings.
The lyrics are by Toshihiko Shinzawa and the music is composed by Hirotaka Nakagawa.
Set to a relaxed melody, the song portrays saying goodbye to friends and teachers.
While it captures a touch of sadness, the ending gently gives you a push forward, which is wonderful.
It’s a classic you can sing with a bright, hopeful feeling.
Let’s hold hands
Te o Tsunagō (Let’s Hold Hands), written and composed by Noriyuki Makihara, was created after the Great East Japan Earthquake as part of the “Let’s Hold Hands Project.” In the video, a variety of characters are shown holding hands.
Isn’t it rare to see so many beloved characters that children adore all appear together and hold hands like this? This song, which sings about the importance and kindness of holding hands and becoming friends, carries a message we want to pass on to children today.
It would be great to practice it a lot and perform it!
