Recommended ballad songs for children

A ballad song for children… You might think it wouldn’t suit them.

However, I feel that a ballad sung with an untainted, pure heart and a straightforward, beautiful voice can actually work quite well.

It will surely cleanse the sullied hearts of us adults.

When it comes to Miyuki Nakajima, many of her fans are older, and I think most of the people who actually listen to her are adults.

But her songs are filled with the joys and sorrows of life, so I believe it’s the children who are about to set out on the vast ocean of life who should listen to them.

BoyhoodInoue Yosui

“Shonen Jidai” (Childhood), renowned as one of Yosui Inoue’s greatest masterpieces, is also a summer song that perfectly suits the image of a boy standing in the rural countryside during summer vacation.

Both the melody and the lyrics are very simple, and precisely because of that, they resonate powerfully with the heart.

Love is overŌyō Fifi

Ouyang Fei Fei’s “Love is Over” might be a slightly grown-up ballad for children.

From the melody to the lyrics and the singing style, it’s full of a mature atmosphere.

It’s a recommended song for when you want to sneak a peek into the world of adults.

For the children yet to be bornBank Band

It really makes you think about what we can leave behind for our own children and for those yet to be born.

This is a cover of a classic Off Course song by a band formed mainly by Kazutoshi Sakurai of Mr.Children and Takeshi Kobayashi of My Little Lover.

Beautiful NameGodiego

It’s a classic that has been covered by a variety of artists.

Even the original track never feels dated no matter how many years pass—just what you’d expect from Godiego.

To me, it sounds like it’s singing about how children are the true treasures of the world, regardless of blood ties.
