Grandma's password

Some grandparents are adept at using electronic devices like smartphones, yet occasionally forget their passwords.

With that in mind, let me introduce “Grandma’s Password.” This song by singer-songwriter Ansaco was created as the ending theme for the anime Washimo.

Staying true to the anime’s world, it portrays Grandma’s comical everyday life and relatable situations.

It’s also a great pick when you want something bright and uplifting.

Computer Grandma _ Yuko Sakai (Tokyo Broadcasting Children’s Choir)

“Computer Grandma” is arranged by world-renowned composer Ryuichi Sakamoto and sung by the TBS Children’s Choir with Sayoko Sakai.

It’s a song that expresses respect for a grandmother who, despite her age, knows everything.

Although it’s a gently paced children’s song, it features a synth-driven sound that gives it a somewhat futuristic feel.

Another appeal is its lyrics, which weave in tight rhymes.

Once you hear it, you won’t be able to forget it.

Grandpa is nice.Jito Mototsugu

Grandpas Are Nice / Motoji Jito

One children’s song that is beloved for its grandpa theme is “Ojiichan te Ii na” (“Grandpa Is Great”).

The song was composed by Mototsugu Jito and became widely known after it was featured on NHK’s program Minna no Uta.

Its lyrics sing of simple, childlike questions such as “Why doesn’t Grandpa go to school or to work?” That uniquely child’s perspective is both amusing and somehow nostalgic.

Give it a listen and let it take you back to your own childhood.

WANIMA-1106 (OFFICIAL VIDEO)

WANIMA’s “1106” is a heartwarming song that expresses deep feelings for a loved one who has passed away.

Dedicated by member KENTA to his late grandfather, the track conveys his respect for a man who loved the sea and never gave in to hardship.

His grandfather’s words—“Sing the way you feel”—became a driving force behind KENTA’s passion for music.

Released in October 2014, the song was a milestone for WANIMA as it was the first to receive a music video.

Filmed by the sea in their hometown of Amakusa, the MV also communicates their love for family.

It’s a piece that gently stays by your side when you’re thinking of someone dear.
