Songs with titles starting with “Hi.” The vast world of “Hi” (491–500)

A Lonely BirthdayKondō Masahiko

A song included on Masahiko Kondo’s album “Gingiragin ni Sarigenaku,” imbued with the nostalgic aroma of Showa-era idol pop.

The lyrics, themed around the loneliness of spending a birthday alone, leave a strong impression.

The poignant emotions woven by Takashi Matsumoto’s words and Kyōhei Tsutsumi’s composition resonate deeply.

Released in December 1981, this track is also featured on Kondo’s best-of album “MATCHY☆BEST II.” His clear, transparent vocals heighten the sense of solitude, conveying the feelings of a protagonist who can’t truly celebrate, even on their birthday.

It’s a comforting song for those who’ve experienced parting from someone important or who stand at a crossroads in life.

The theme song “HERO” from the movie Shimajiro and Ururu’s Hero Land is performed by Momoclo-chan Z—the name used by Momoiro Clover Z when they appear on preschool programs—showcasing both singing and dancing.

The song and choreography are simple, so even young children should be able to imitate them.

Since the moves use the whole body, it’s perfect for warm-ups or morning activities at daycare.

Of course, it’s also great for a recital if you want to put effort into the costumes! How about dancing in colorful outfits?
