Anpanman Songs: Theme Songs, Insert Songs, and Character Song List (21–30)
Tanemaki MaggieSakura Maya (Onion Maggie)
A heartwarming cheer song that depicts continuing to sow seeds of hope without losing to any hardship.
Chosen as the ending theme for the short film “Run! Exciting Anpanman Grand Prix,” this work also marks Maya Sakura’s first attempt at voice acting, playing Maggie, a flower fairy.
The catchy melody pairs perfectly with her richly expressive vocals honed through enka.
The lyrics, which mirror a character who keeps striving without giving up even when things don’t go well, carry the warm message of the original creator, Takashi Yanase.
Listen to it when you’re facing a challenge, and you’ll surely find the courage to take the next step.
Sidor・and・Modoro 2011Dreaming
This song, starring twin baby hippos, is an adorably cute piece that softens the heart just by listening! You can almost see the joy of growth as a brand-new life takes its first steps in nature and begins to sing.
Takashi Yanase’s warm worldview is beautifully expressed through Dreaming’s clear, transparent harmonies.
The track was included in the CD book released in July 2011, “Te no Hira o Taiyō ni 50th Anniversary CD: Ikiteiru kara Utaunda! Vol.
3 Dreaming,” and can also be heard on the album “Soreike! Anpanman Best Hit ’13.”

ham actorHam Actor (Tetsuo Sakaguchi)
This is a warm, humanistic song that sings of the bittersweetness and spirit of a traveling theater troupe.
Even if he plays the fall guy who always gets cut down, the actor’s pride in throwing himself into the mud to delight the audience is portrayed with a gentle eye.
The singer is voice actor Tetsuo Sakaguchi.
His theatrically tinged delivery, backed by stage experience, makes him the character himself.
His deep, calm voice brings out the sorrows of life within the song’s comical tone, gripping listeners’ hearts.
The piece debuted in March 2013 as an insert song for the anime Soreike! Anpanman and is also included on the album Soreike! Anpanman Best Hit ’22.
Dokin's LullabyDokin-chan (Hiromi Tsuru)
“Dokin’s Lullaby” is an astonishingly gentle and beautiful song for a Dokin-chan track.
It’s also suitable for soothing babies who don’t know Anpanman, so it might be a good lullaby for putting younger siblings to sleep.
Banana Dance 2017Dreaming
Banana Dance 2017 starts with jungle-like, wild percussion.
You might expect a famous banana character from Anpanman we don’t know to appear, but no such character shows up.
That’s because this song is derived from the picture book “Anpanman and the Banana Dance,” in which Banana Island and the queen, Banna, do make an appearance.
Dokin Dokin Dokin-chan ~Dokin's Song~Dreaming
The long-awaited theme song for Dokin-chan carries a sexy, moody vibe reminiscent of Showa-era kayōkyoku.
With its solid, weighty arrangement and somewhat ominous lyrics, it skews more toward a little-devil allure than Dokin-chan’s usual cute image.
It’s a fitting track for the uniquely individualistic cast of Anpanman characters.
Let's make living breadUncle Jam (Hiroshi Masuoka), Batako-san (Rei Sakuma)
“Let’s Make Living Bread” might be a bit difficult for children, but it’s a bright, fun song to dance to.
Why not try singing it together as an opportunity to teach them about life and death? Please take a moment to feel Takashi Yanase’s wish as he breathed life into the bread.
