Smiles for babies and kids! A heartwarming collection of songs for children (71–80)
Anpanman Marchdoriimingu
The theme song of Anpanman, with lyrics written by Takashi Yanase.
It is loved by a wide range of generations, from adults to children and even babies.
When you take a close look at the lyrics, you’ll be surprised to find that each line carries a very profound message.
Mr. ElephantSakushi: Mado Michio / Sakkyoku: Dan Ikuma
Born from the collaboration of lyricist Mado Michio and composer Dan Ikuma as a gentle children’s song depicting the warm bond between parent and child, this piece was first broadcast on NHK Radio in May 1952.
Characterized by its calm 3/4 melody and heartwarming lyrics that cherish one’s individuality, it has been featured frequently on educational and children’s TV programs and is loved by a wide range of generations.
The May 2007 version by Satoko Yamano and the Morinoki Children’s Choir remains one of the most beloved renditions.
With a melody that nestles close to the heart like a gentle spring breeze, it’s perfect for parents and children to hum together.
In the fresh green season, singing it while taking a walk will make for even happier memories.
Banana Parent and ChildSakata Osamu
Lyrics and melodies that make children’s hearts skip a beat.
This song is an adorable piece depicting a banana parent and child living on a southern island.
The swaying bananas in the breeze are expressed through rhythmic lyrics.
Carried by Osamu Sakata’s gentle voice, the introduction of Papa Banana, Mama Banana, and Little Banana makes you want to hum along.
Broadcast on NHK’s “Okaasan to Issho,” it’s a hugely popular song among children.
Sing and dance together as a family, and you’re sure to have a wonderful time!
Mr. Gonbee’s Babydōyō
It’s a Japanese children’s song based on an American folk tune.
At first, it seems like a humorous song that pokes fun at Mr.
Gonbei for hastily applying a poultice even though it’s just a cold, but in the American original, the “poultice” put on a baby with a cold is apparently an ointment meant to help with breathing.
Seven-year-old child
Since the Taisho era, the children’s song “Nanatsu no Ko” has been passed down across generations.
It’s also known for the parody versions that became popular on comedy shows in the 1980s, so chances are everyone has heard it at least once.
The lyrics express a parent crow’s love for its chicks as it calls to them, thinking, “How cute, how cute.” I hope you’ll sing this classic, old-fashioned Japanese nursery rhyme to your little ones.
