Ho-re!Hanada Yuuichirou, Nagata Maya
Just when you think it starts with a melancholy, flamenco-like melody, Ho-Re! suddenly bursts into a cheerful rhythm and tune—it’s a song about vegetables growing in the fields.
With lively, dig-dig beats, it shows, through a fun dance, how potatoes, daikon radishes, and carrots are briskly dug up from the soil.
The witty lyrics are another highlight.
There’s even a little learning element, as you wonder what kinds of vegetables grow in a field.
It’s also fun that familiar dishes made with those vegetables appear in the lyrics.
Come on—sing, dance, and play to the steady Ho-re, ho-re rhythm!

A Drop of StarHanada Yuuichirou, Ono Atsuko
The monthly children’s song feature “Song of the Month” for July 2021 is Hoshi no Hitoshizuku (A Drop of Star).
Written and composed by steel pan player Tonchi, this song has a soothing steel pan sound and is sung as a duet by Yuichiro Oniisan and Atsuko Oneesan.
The dance gently sways like the melody—yura~ yura~—so even little kids can relax and move along to the music.
It’s popular with children, of course, but especially with moms, making it a great pick for parents and kids to enjoy together.

fireflyFujita Maiko
A heartrending ballad marked by a melancholy piano melody.
It’s the B-side to “Shunkan,” a single released in 2011 by Maiko Fujita, a singer-songwriter from Nagoya.
The unresolved feelings seep into your heart, overlapping with the damp, heavy air of the rainy season as summer approaches.
Whether it’s about romance or not, not knowing what the other person feels makes you anxious, doesn’t it? The more unclear things are, the more painful it becomes… that kind of sorrow is captured here.

You want to know how the other person feels, but you’re afraid to find out—this song will surely stay close to those emotions.
The Empty One Beside the Star ~Orihime~ura man P
If you’re looking for a slightly dark-humored Tanabata song, I recommend “The Airhead Next to the Stars ~Orihime~” by Ie no Ura de Manbou ga Shinderu-P.
Longing to meet Hikoboshi, whom she can hardly see on Tanabata because of bad weather, Orihime searches for a kappa that can cross the Milky Way—yet somehow ends up getting absorbed in running a company.
When she finally meets a kappa and asks it to bring Hikoboshi to her, the story comes to an “oh dear” kind of ending.
It’s a number that portrays the bittersweet Tanabata legend with a comical, dark twist.
Did Orihime ever meet Hikoboshi? Find out with your own ears.
