[Bath Song] A Children’s Song That Makes You Love the Bath (1–10)
Hadakan-bō (naked sun hat)Shishido Rumi
It’s a fun song with a lively rhythm that makes you want to start dancing, and lyrics that repeat.
While it’s not specifically about baths, since it involves being naked, I think it can work as a bath-time song too.
You could even sing it while taking off clothes!

If you learn this song, you might be able to take a bath by yourself.
The lively rhythm and melody are cheerful and fun, aren’t they? If you think of bath time as “time to wash your body,” you might feel a bit lazy about getting in, but simply reframing it as “playing with water,” like in this song, should change your mindset.
Washing your body and hair, drying off with a towel, and putting on clean clothes—thanks to this song, those ordinary routines can turn into a special playtime.
Being human is niceNakajima Yoshimi
When you’re in the bath, even adults feel like humming something, don’t they? Scrub your body and head to the rhythm.
So how about “Ningen tte ii na,” a song many of you probably know well? It’s the ending theme of the anime Manga Nihon Mukashi Banashi (Japanese Folktales).
Whenever this song starts playing, you can’t help but sing along.
I think it’s that ingrained in everyone’s mind.
Have your child learn it too, and soak in the bath while singing together as a parent and child!
[Bath Song] A children’s song that will make kids love bath time (11–20)
Bath SongGoi Yuya
Ofuro no Uta is a song that captures the feelings of a child who absolutely hates taking baths.
The lyrics were written by Yasushi Akimoto, the creator behind many idol groups like AKB48 and Nogizaka46.
Kids have their own solid reasons for disliking baths, after all.
The child in this song says they hate baths because when they bathe with their family or go in alone, this and that kind of thing happens—and they don’t like any of it.
Of course, it’s best to take baths to keep clean, but it might be worth listening a little to what kids who don’t want to bathe have to say.
If that leads to some improvements, they might even start to like bath time!
Song of Onsen PonYuusui
No matter how old you are, a bath always feels good.
I’m sure there are parents who want their children who dislike baths to understand their appeal.
As this song also mentions, one of a bath’s charms is the floating sensation when you sink into the hot water.
That bobbing, gently swaying feeling is a little mysterious and a lot of fun.
That kind of experience might resonate with kids who don’t like baths.
Try stretching out your legs or submerging your whole body—see if you can discover your own way to enjoy bath time.
Let’s go to the bathhouse!
This is a bath-time song that’s also great for Eurhythmics activities! It’s perfect for bathtime while communicating with your child.
Since it’s a call-and-response song, you can have your child sing and answer back, or wash their body and head in line with the lyrics.
Adults might be fine just soaking quietly in the tub, but when you’re bathing with your child, it’s more fun to hop in together and make a lively time of it—just like this song.
Enjoy a cheerful, energetic bath time!
Shampookumamushi
It’s a catchy song that builds excitement about taking a bath.
The track is by the comedy duo Kumamushi, who sparked a craze with “Attakaindakaraa♪,” and it was released digitally in 2015.
The lyrics are bright and irresistibly fun.
Since many phrases repeat the same words, even small children can learn it easily.
Plus, the upbeat groove is a big hit with kids.
Let this happy tune give you a boost and make bath time the best it can be!
