[Bath Song] A children’s song that will make kids love bath time (11–20)
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!
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.
Coconut SoapFuranku・Reto
It’s said to be a song that’s popular worldwide as a way to learn the names of body parts.
Frank Leto is an American musician who has produced numerous songs for children.
One of his works is “Coconut Soap,” a song about washing various parts of the body with coconut soap.
Its gentle tempo is soothing.
It features many English words for body parts, making it perfect as-is for your child’s English study.
Oh! ShampooShinzawa Toshihiko & Nakagawa Hirotaka
Many children love to play with shampoo—making horns out of the white, foamy lather or shaping it like animal ears.
For kids like that, we recommend “Oh! Shampoo.” In the song, a child transforms into a ghost using shampoo bubbles.
Watching the fun of playing with shampoo might even make bath-averse kids think, “Maybe I want to try that!” Why not play this song as an invitation, saying, “When you take a bath, you can have this much fun!”?
Splish Splash Bath SongChildren Love to Sing Christmas & Kids Songs
Not only is it fun to take a bath, but you can also learn English with the “Splish Splash Bath Song.” It expresses the love of hopping in the tub with someone—like Dad, Mom, or a sibling—splashing water at each other and helping wash one another.
Set to a lively melody, the song shares all the reasons baths are great, so even kids who don’t like bath time might start thinking, “Maybe baths are actually fun!” As children grow, more of them start bathing on their own, but this song conveys the feeling that bath time becomes more enjoyable when you share it with someone.
What a nice bath.Za Dorifutāzu
When it comes to baths, many people probably think of this song! The Drifters’ “Ii Yu da na” is a quintessential bath-time song beloved across Japan.
This tune, which takes you on a tour of hot spring resorts around the country, was originally sung by the vocal group Duke Aces.
Later, in 1967, The Drifters released it as the B-side to their single “Zukkoke-chan.” An arranged version of the song was used as the ending theme for The Drifters’ popular TV shows “It’s 8 O’Clock! Everybody, Gather ‘Round!” and “The Drifters’ Big Laughter.” With its fun and familiar melody, the song leaves you with the impression that taking a bath is something enjoyable.

Hot springs, yu! yu! yu!Tomita Shinya
It’s a quintessentially Japanese bath song with a rhythm like an ondō.
The beat is catchy, so you can have fun singing it with your kids.
It might be fun to memorize all the parts that sing about the hot spring’s benefits and surprise them.
And the repeated “yu” is something you’ll want to belt out together!
