Children’s songs perfect for April: A spring collection of classic tunes that capture the season (71–80)
Sakura, sakuraSakushi / Sakkyoku: Fushou
The traditional Japanese piece “Sakura Sakura.” It is a historical Japanese song, and its sound is very beautiful.
Even children may have opportunities to enjoy Japanese culture, such as at tea gatherings.
If you know this song on such occasions, it’s quite impressive.
The classical-style lyrics are also wonderful and really cool!
Tonton FriendsSakushi: Satou Hachirou／Sakkyoku: Nakata Yoshinao
The lyrics are by Hachirō Satō and the music by Yoshinao Nakada; it’s a children’s song that has been sung for many years.
With plenty of humor, it celebrates the strength of friendship among companions.
It features nine children labeled with the numbers 1 through 9, and their names are in an old-fashioned style.
It’s also fun to make a parody by substituting your classmates’ names.
Opened, openedwarabe uta
Do you remember holding hands with your friends and playing this game—spreading out and coming together—while singing this song? It’s a short tune with a Japanese minor-key melody, and it brings to mind a wide field filled with white Chinese milk vetch blossoms.
Making flower crowns, searching for four-leaf clovers—Chinese milk vetch is another indispensable flower of spring.
The Little Train from the Land of FlowersSakushi: Kobayashi Junichi / Sakkyoku: Nakada Yoshinao
This lively and energetic piece is an intriguing song titled “Hana no Okuni no Kisha Poppo” (The Choo-Choo Train of the Flower Country).
It has quite a sophisticated musicality, and although it’s aimed at children, I think adults can enjoy it too.
It’s a song parents and children can sing and dance to together.
You can also enjoy the interesting instrumental sounds and the sense of rhythm!
Harukaze TelephoneSakushi: Tawara Machi / Sakkyoku: Fukuda Wakako
This song, “Harukaze Denwa,” captures the refreshing feel of spring.
Its bright, breezy melody makes it perfect for going outside to see the cherry blossoms or for children to play energetically in the spring wind now that the cold has eased.
Spring flowers and creatures appear in the lyrics, making it friendly and familiar—and a fun way to learn, too!
In conclusion
Nursery rhymes in April carry a gentle warmth that seems to wrap up the breath of spring and new encounters.
