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.
Boyoyon March
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 message is that everyone has powerful springs under their feet—no matter how tough things get, trust those springs, leap over the obstacles, and keep moving forward.
It’s an upbeat tune that also brings a tear to the eye, making it perfect for recitals and graduation ceremonies!
I’ve grown up.
An original song by singer-songwriter Miyako Irikura, created for her own daughter, graduating children, and their parents.
The vivid details—like uniforms that were still too big when they first enrolled and brand-new supplies—bring back the excitement and butterflies from those early days.
As time passes and we see how the children have grown, we’re filled with an indescribable sense of deep emotion.
Part of the lyrics can include the actual teachers’ names, so the children can sing it with gratitude toward their teachers.

With its forward-driving energy and bright, poppy melody, it lifts everyone’s spirits.
Filled with a warm message that gently affirms your feelings, this track is perfect for lively dance or play programs.

Song of LifeNEW!Miyabi
“Inochi no Uta,” with lyrics written by Mariya Takeuchi under the pen name “Miyabi,” is a song released in February 2009 as a single by ManaKana, where it appeared as an insert song in the NHK morning drama series “Dandan.” A self-cover version sung by Takeuchi herself was later released in January 2012 and was also used that same year as the theme song for the NHK drama “Pioneers.” Its lyrics, which quietly reflect on human encounters, mutual support, and gratitude for being alive, are filled with a heartwarming message.
With its gentle melody and beautiful resonance of words, it is a perfect choral piece for milestone occasions such as senior kindergarten recitals and farewell ceremonies, where children can sing together with shared feeling.
Believe
A classic graduation song sung not only in kindergartens and nursery schools, but also in elementary and junior high schools.
Ryuichi Sugimoto’s beautiful lyrics and melody, woven with a sense of great love, quietly sink into the hearts of listeners.
The earnest expressions of the children engaging with this pure, serene piece move the adults watching to tears.
It was also used as the ending theme for NHK’s “Ikimono Chikyū Kikō” (A Journey Through the Living Earth), and beyond gratitude for friends and those close to us, it carries the grandeur of a hymn to the Earth itself—an enduring masterpiece that draws even adults in to listen intently.
Magic Door
“The Magic Door” is a song overflowing with hope for the future.
Five-year-olds are in their final year of kindergarten and are about to become first graders.
The lyrics are perfect for this time, when their sense of responsibility and interactions with friends grow stronger.
The bouncy rhythm and melody might be a bit complex to express.
Let’s sing it repeatedly and enjoy the world of the song with the children.
In the original version, some sections are divided into parts and sung separately.
How about letting the children take on that challenge?
