Do-Re-Mi, a song that helps you learn the musical scale while singing.

It’s a world-famous classic, featured in the musical—and later the film—The Sound of Music.

In Japan, it was introduced on NHK’s Minna no Uta and appears in music textbooks, so many children know it.

The song pairs each note with a corresponding word and takes you through Do-Re-Mi-Fa-So-La-Ti-Do.

It’s great for kids who don’t take instrument or singing lessons, because they can easily learn about music.

Highly recommended.

Let’s sing and have fun while mastering Do-Re-Mi!

First broadcast on “Hirake! Ponkikki” in 1986, this song remains a beloved classic in many people’s hearts.

It’s perfect for graduation ceremonies and recitals.

With lyrics that support children’s feelings and encourage their first steps into a new world, it’s sure to warm the hearts of parents as well.

“Donguri Korokoro” is a long-loved song that depicts an acorn tumbling into a pond and the fun of playing with a loach.

To help the scenes come to life, introducing a sketchbook theater or paper puppets is also recommended.

The acorn that plays freely and then cries at the sad farewell to the loach somehow overlaps with the image of children.

It’s also nice to enjoy acorn-hunting after singing the song.

If you draw faces on the acorns you’ve picked, you’ll have a one-of-a-kind acorn in the world!
