Darwin’s Eggaburadako
Aburadako is a Japanese rock band formed in 1983.
Unusually for musicians, all members have regular day jobs in addition to performing, so their activities were irregular.
Combining diverse musical elements—progressive rock, scum, gagaku, ambient/environmental music, and contemporary music—the band had a peculiar charm, but they have been on hiatus since 2009.

It was aired on the children’s program Okaasan to Issho, and features charming characters that look like dango.
As the title suggests, the song depicts a trio of dango siblings.
