May children’s song “Dandelion”

If you spot fluffy dandelion seeds floating on the spring breeze, here’s a traditional children’s song-and-game you’ll want to enjoy together as a parent and child! Its charm lies in how simply it expresses sending the fluffy seeds far away through rhythm and movement.

You can pretend to blow with a long “fuu,” flutter your hands and become the drifting seeds yourself, using your whole body to play.

This folk song has long been loved in places like Gunma Prefecture, and it continues to be cherished today—introduced in a video in April 2022 as part of efforts to connect nursery school play with activities at home.

With scarves or fabric, you can create a magical, floating-seed atmosphere even indoors! Try it not only when you find real dandelion seeds at the park, but also as a cozy, hands-on activity at home.

Boasting a long band history with all members able to sing, THE ALFEE’s 51st single, released in 2003, was used as the eighth ending theme song for the TV Asahi anime Doraemon.

A song chosen as the theme for the film “I Want to Eat Your Pancreas.” The heroine, who appears in the movie and lives straight on with a smile despite her illness, is likened to a single sunflower.

The lyrics, which portray her poignant scattering as the seasons pass, are deeply moving.

Spitz – Dandelion (Tanpopo) [Romaji Sub/Lyrics]

This is a track from Spitz, a four-piece rock band formed in 1987, included on their major-label debut album “Spitz,” released in 1991.

Despite the cute title “Dandelion,” the relaxed waltz tempo, and vocalist Kusano’s gentle voice—an initial impression of softness—the song stands out as an early masterpiece whose profound lyrics and wistful guitar solo resonate deeply.
