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.
Until the world becomes one
This is a song by Ya-Ya-yah that was used as the ending theme for the anime Nintama Rantarō.
Centered around the piano, it has a calm atmosphere, with vocals that feel like they’re speaking to you, giving the impression that the singing itself is emphasized.
The sound and lyrics evoke a sense of overlapping voices and heartfelt connection, making it a perfect fit for choral performance.
Another key point is that the choreography incorporates sign language; by paying close attention to the movements, the message of the lyrics comes through even more strongly.
Using simple words to express human connection, it’s a song that people of all ages can sing.
Precious friend
A popular graduation song at kindergartens and nursery schools.
It’s an original song created by Benesse Corporation, and it brings back memories of daily life and events at the school.
The realistic, straightforward lyrics are easy for children to relate to, and they’re moving even for adults.
It’s also nice that there are various versions, such as nursery school, kindergarten, and best-friend versions.
Children turn the days spent with teachers and friends into sparkling memories and step forward into the next world.
Seeing how much they’ve grown makes them feel so reliable.
The First Step
A song by the duo Toshihiko Shinzawa and Hirotaka Nakagawa, known for creating numerous classic picture books and choral works.
The lyrics, which sing of pure, gentle feelings and the importance of believing in dreams, quietly resonate in the hearts of adults as well.
With poetic, beautiful words that liken children to little birds and a simple, familiar melody, the piece moves not only children but people across generations.
It promises a lovely time filled with the honest, free voices of children ringing out.
Song of Joy
“Yorokobi no Uta,” sung at graduation ceremonies from kindergarten, is a song by Yoko Komiyama.
Written from the perspective of children about to graduate, it expresses their joy and gratitude toward parents and teachers.
A distinctive feature is its structure with parts for adults—such as parents and teachers—creating a call-and-response style.
Through this song, why not share the appreciation and love that can be hard to put into words? Another charm of the piece is how it conveys the excitement and anticipation for life after graduation.
