[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!
Splash-splash in the bathSakushi: Satou Yoshimi / Sakkyoku: Hattori Kouichi
Bath time is also a chance to strengthen the bond between parent and child.
Let’s make scrubbing your child’s body with a towel fun with this song.
“Ofuro Jab-Jab,” with lyrics by Yoshimi Sato and music by Koichi Hattori, has adorable lyrics about turning into a fish while in the bath and being caught with Mom’s towel.
If you sing it while drying them off, your child is sure to smile.
Before they dash around the house while still wet, catch them just like in the song!
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!
[Bath Song] A children’s song that will make kids love bath time (11–20)
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!
Phew, splash splashūtan chappun
One of the joys of taking a bath is that moment when you slip into the tub, right? Just like the title suggests, hop in with a gentle splash! This song was featured on NHK’s children’s program “Inai Inai Baa!” Its relaxed tempo will put you in a laid-back mood as you listen.
Some children might want to get out quickly because the bath is hot.
But if they sing or listen to this song, they might stay in the warm water a little longer.
Enjoy it together as a parent and child, and get clean while having fun!
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!
If you sing in the bathtsuji ayano
With her gentle singing voice, Ayano Tsuji encourages everyone to take a bath in her song “Sing in the Bath.” It was produced as the PR song for the “Kumamoto Furo-motion Division,” established in Kumamoto, a prefecture famous for its many hot springs.
On YouTube, there’s also a video featuring Kumamon, Kumamoto’s hugely popular mascot, enjoying a bath on his day off.
It’s understandable to feel like scolding a bath-averse child with “Go take a bath already!” but, as this song suggests, a gentle nudge might change how kids feel about bath time.
