Tsubame, a collaboration song by YOASOBI and the elementary school unit Midories, is memorable for its cute dance.
Released in 2021, it was used as the theme song for the children’s program about the SDGs, “Hirogare! Irotoridori,” and was also broadcast on “Minna no Uta.” Based on Nana Otsuki’s novel “The Big Dream of a Little Swallow,” the song expresses a wish for a world where humans and animals alike can live peacefully and safely.
Try singing it while imagining what kind of world you hope to see when you grow up.
Full-Power BoySukima Suichi
A song chosen as the Japanese theme for the animated film Onward.
The music duo Sukima Switch released it in 2005 as their fifth single, and it has remained a beloved classic ever since, frequently used as a commercial jingle and as theme songs for films and anime.
Its straightforward composition and melody—along with the vocals—are endlessly pure.
It’s truly pleasant to listen to.
Many people probably sing it often at karaoke, too.
The lyrics’ positive message gives you energy and makes you feel ready to do your best again tomorrow.
Into the Unknown ~ As My Heart LeadsNakamoto Mizuki
This song was chosen as the Japanese ending theme for the worldwide hit Disney film Frozen 2.
It’s performed by Mizuki Nakamoto, a singer from Hiroshima Prefecture, and is included on the album Frozen 2 Original Soundtrack.
Her expansive vocals match the grand arrangement beautifully.
The way the song gradually builds is uplifting.
It’s a piece I hope you’ll enjoy along with the movie.
I also recommend singing it at karaoke!
To the Ends of the Earth ~How Far I’ll Go~
The theme song of the Disney film Moana (released in 2017).
It’s a song that expresses the feelings of Moana, a girl who sets out across the vast ocean to save the people she loves.
It’s important to keep a spirit of challenge and adventure, but in life there are many times when fear and anxiety take over and we can’t take that first step.
By using this song and the film to say, “Like Moana, it’s okay to keep trying the things you’re interested in!” you may help children feel more positive and forward-looking.
