Song of Suihei-sanSuper Simple Songs

Suihei-san no Uta “A Sailor Went To Sea” | Children’s Song | Super Simple Japanese

Let’s sing an ocean song called “Suihei-san no Uta,” with its relaxed, heartwarming melody and fun lyrics.

The playful words are packed with lots of sea creatures, making them tricky to memorize.

It’s a fun song featuring octopuses, jellyfish, seahorses, and more, and it’s a singing game where you see how many animal names you can remember as you sing.

Since it originally comes from an English song, it’s also helpful for children learning English.

Because so many different sea creatures appear, you might recognize some you already know.

You can learn, “Oh, so these kinds of creatures live in the sea,” test your memory, and enjoy singing it in lots of different ways.

HAPPY SONG

HAPPY SONG <Feb 11, 2014 Minami-Aoyama MANDALA>

Lyrics by Toshihiko Shinzawa, music by Yuko Masuda.

It’s a song for children, but it feels perfectly natural when sung by adults as well.

It has a slight gospel vibe, and it’s best enjoyed with a generous spirit—sing it energetically, keeping the rhythm with your whole body, and it will feel great.

Let’s smile tomorrow.

Found it! I played “Let’s Laugh Tomorrow” from Miitsuketa! on the piano by Kossy.

This is a song with lyrics by Shigeo Takahashi and music by Sukima Switch.

It’s the song of Kossy, the blue chair character from NHK Educational TV’s “Miitsuketa!” The phrase “Ashita Warao” (Let’s laugh tomorrow), which is also the title, appears many times.

It’s the kind of song that gradually lifts your spirits as you sing it.

In a flash!

In the Blink of an Eye! ~Found You~

Lyrics and music by Tortoise Matsumoto.

It was the ending theme for NHK Educational TV’s “Miitsuketa!”, so those with small children may know it.

Although it’s a song for a children’s program, it’s also enjoyable for adults to sing—proof of Tortoise Matsumoto’s skill as a songwriter.
