I’m a snake~Shinzawa Toshihiko

This piece is known as a popular action song for children.

Toshihiko Shinzawa’s gentle vocals and the slightly mysterious melody leave a strong impression.

Released in December 2021, it is included on the album “Toshihiko Shinzawa & Naoko Ozawa’s Kids’ Yoga Songs: Let’s Play with Yoga!” Because children can move their bodies while imitating a snake’s motions, it’s perfect for physical play in daycares and kindergartens.

It can also help promote healthy minds and bodies in kids.

It’s fun for families too, so it’s recommended for anyone who wants to get moving together with their child.

HeadlightNiinuma Kenji

In the 1970s, Kenji Niinuma shot to stardom with hit songs like “Yome ni Konai ka.” Known for his overwhelming vocal power and expressive range, one of his signature songs is a classic released in 1977 with lyrics by Yū Aku and music by Hiroshi Tokuhisa.

The lyrics, which liken the feelings of a man and woman leaving Tokyo to the glow of car headlights, symbolically portray a break with the past and hope for the future.

Niinuma’s powerful yet heartrending vocals resonate deeply with listeners.

The song reached No.

12 on the Oricon weekly chart and was performed at that year’s NHK Kōhaku Uta Gassen.

If you’re singing it at karaoke, you’ll need considerable practice, as it demands careful expression of subtle emotions as well as strong high notes.

It’s a song I’d especially recommend to anyone standing at a turning point in life.

Hello SongHoshino Gen

Gen Hoshino – Hello Song (Live from “Gratitude” 2020)
Hello SongHoshino Gen

This is a cheerful song that portrays the way meeting people broadens your world and the exhilaration that comes from it.

The fact that it was used in AC Japan’s 2016 commercial “Rival wa 1964-nen” also conveys a sense of connection with the wider world.

Because there are many words, the melodic rises and falls aren’t too frequent, so try singing while firmly keeping hold of the song’s light, rhythmic groove.

If you treat the greeting phrases—the song’s central theme—with care as you sing, the sense of uplift the piece carries should come across clearly.
