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.
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.
Haohao
Haohao, well-known from “Okaasan to Issho,” might make those unfamiliar with the song wonder what it is.
Haohao is a little ghost that appears saying “Hao” and ends up living in your pocket.
The song has a very whimsical, cute worldview that sparks children’s imaginations—what if there were a Hao in my pocket? You play and laugh together, enjoy Hao’s favorite biscuits, and have a wonderful time, but in the end, Hao disappears.
The whole song makes you feel as if you’ve watched a short story unfold.
Kishiryu Sentai Ryusoulger
This is the opening theme song of Kishiryu Sentai Ryusoulger, which aired in 2019.
As the 43rd entry in the Super Sentai series, it features the classic five-member team, with knights and dinosaurs as its motifs.
The opening song is a cool, high-energy track that really feels like something boys would love.
True to the “knight” name, the heroes fight villains with sword-themed weapons in the battle scenes, which is sure to capture boys’ imaginations!
Doraemon: Make My Dreams Come Truemao
This is the major debut song by the female singer mao, released in 2007.
It was introduced as the theme song in the year the voice cast was renewed.
Everyone loves Doraemon, and mao’s distinctive yet clear voice brings a comforting feeling that gently melts into our hearts.
Doraemon, who brings dreams and hope to children, will remain a cherished seed that supports childhood and will continue to be loved for years to come.
