March 3 is Hinamatsuri, the Doll Festival, when we pray for girls’ healthy growth.

Many people might not be able to think of any others, but in fact, there are more songs that celebrate Hinamatsuri.

In this article, we’ll introduce a variety of Hinamatsuri songs.

If “Ureshii Hinamatsuri” is the only one you know, take this opportunity to give the others a listen.

This is a Hinamatsuri song you can sing and dance to with a fun rhythm.

Created by Sepa, it’s designed so children can move their bodies and enjoy themselves, offering a different flavor from traditional event songs that are meant to be listened to quietly.

Its big appeal is that you can celebrate the Peach Festival with energetic dancing.

Released in March 2025, this work is one of many learning-focused songs Sepa has put out on themes like words and numbers, including the album “Educational Songs: Just Listen and You’ll Remember! Children’s Songs.” It’s perfect for recreation at nursery schools and kindergartens, and it’s sure to get kids excited at home too.

Be sure to pay attention to the friendly melodies crafted from the perspective of a father of two.

Oh Hina Dolls, Please 【Children's Song】 Lyrics: Yoshiko Kayama / Music: Akihiro Komori Hina Matsuri / Peach Festival

“Ohinasama, Here You Go” is a song that invites a gentle feeling of offering seasonal items to the Hina dolls in time with the repeated phrase “douzo” (“here you go”).

The lyrics are by Mikiko Kayama, a children’s literature author born in 1928, and the music is by Akihiro Komori, known for songs such as “The Itsy Bitsy Spider” (Itomaki no Uta).

The lyrics are charming, as if handing over peach blossoms and arare rice crackers one by one, and it culminates in a heartwarming turn where you show them a picture you drew yourself.

Released to the world through a sheet music collection in April 1998, this piece has long been sung at Hina Matsuri events in nursery schools and kindergartens.

It’s also beloved as a hand-play song, making it perfect for singing with small children while enjoying the gestures.

This year on the Peach Festival, be sure to try a parent–child mimic game together.

This is Momoiro Clover’s indie debut release, featuring a full-on Japanese aesthetic that also fits perfectly with Hinamatsuri.

The lyrics pack the feeling of being in love into the color “momoiro” (peach-pink), making it super cute, and just listening to it gives you a burst of energy.

Released in August 2009, this work is a precious song that can be called the group’s starting point—they reportedly traveled nationwide, sleeping in their car and hand-selling CDs at major electronics retailers.

They even put on 104 free shows at 24 locations! With an arrangement that explodes into excitement from an intro like a pro-wrestling entrance theme, it’s an absolute must for any Hinamatsuri party.

It’s perfect for when everyone wants to have fun and make some noise, so take this chance to give it a listen.

For example, there’s an intense “Chikishō Breakdown” section in the middle, and the music video features the comedian Koume Dayu, bringing humor and shock side by side within the track.

You can find it on the single “Arare Hina DANCE!!/C’mon!! Koikoi Inoko-Kachō,” released in March 2017, as well as on the album “Ome Collection.” It’s perfect if you’re tired of the usual Hinamatsuri or want the whole family to work up a sweat and make some noise together.

Dad and Mom are sure to get into it and have a blast!

Peach blossoms of the Doll Festival

A song that lets you fully feel the festive atmosphere of the Doll’s Festival, featuring a parade of familiar decorations like peach blossoms—an essential for the occasion—Hina dolls, folding screens, and bonbori lanterns.

It’s a piece that has been lovingly passed down more through recordings like CDs than sheet music, and you can hear it on albums such as “Hinamatsuri ★ Koinobori: Best of Spring Songs,” released in February 2017.

It’s perfect not only for Hinamatsuri parties but also as BGM for events during the graduation and school-entry season.

As you savor the gentle arrival of spring, enjoy a wonderful Hinamatsuri filled with smiles together with this song.
