TulipSakushi: Kondo Miyako / Sakkyoku: Inoue Takeshi
Don’t you ever feel a rush of excitement just from listening to children’s songs? With lyrics by Miyako Kondo and music by Takeshi Inoue, this piece is a beloved favorite among children, celebrating the arrival of spring when colorful flowers bloom.
The melody is easy to remember and the lyrics are simple, so children quickly find themselves humming along.
It was released in July 1932 and recorded the following year.
At kindergarten entrance ceremonies, it would be lovely for the current students to sing it to welcome the newcomers.
If everyone sings together, it will surely ease the nerves and make for a joyful ceremony!
The Puppy Police Officer
Famous as a children’s song that everyone has heard at least once, “The Policeman Dog” tells a humorous and adorable story: a police-dog asks a lost kitten for its address and name, but the kitten doesn’t know, leaving the dog at a loss—until he ends up crying himself.
When singing it to a small baby, changing your voice for the kitten’s meow and the dog’s bark will likely delight them.
It would be great if parents could enjoy it together with their child, adding facial expressions—like crying or worried faces—for extra fun!
It’s starting.
This song titled “Hajimaruyo” (“It’s Starting!”) is a fingerplay tune where you hold up one, two, then three fingers, and use the shapes your fingers make to represent similar things.
It’s exciting to wonder what will appear next! The relaxed rhythm feels pleasant, making it perfect for playing happily with a baby.
It also gets those fingers moving and helps cultivate rich imagination—another great point.
spool (of thread); winding thread; Itomaki (traditional toy spinning top), depending on context
The hand play song “Ito Maki no Uta” is well known.
It’s also recommended as a singing interaction game for very young babies, from newborns up to about one year old.
You might enjoy singing it while making sounds with baby maracas or small building blocks.
As you “wind the thread,” try changing the lyrics to items you can “put on” parts of the body, like shoes or a hat, and then gently touch that body part—this becomes a nice moment of bonding with your baby.
It’s a fun activity for both parents and babies, so please give it a try.
Pop! Popcorn
The song you can enjoy hopping, stepping, and jumping to is “Popping! Popcorn.” Have your child sit on top of your feet, and gently bounce them by alternately lifting and lowering your knees.
The key is to adjust it to your child’s stage of development—be careful not to shake a very small baby too much! With a light, bouncy rhythm like popcorn popping, your little one is sure to be delighted.
It’s a song that lets you enjoy parent–child bonding, whether facing your baby or lifting them up high.
