Vegetable Song: A Recommended Food Education Song for Children

The invincible Goya-man☆garejji seeru

Invincible Goya Man☆ with Lyrics.wmv

A song performed by Garage Sale, a comedy duo from Okinawa, released in 2001.

It was used as an insert song in the morning drama Churasan, in which the two members of Garage Sale also appeared, and it was broadcast on Minna no Uta, so I think it’s quite well-known.

Tomato Song / Sayaka Seragaki

The song “Tomato no Uta” is about a tomato desperately calling out, “Please fall in love with me!” It carries the message: if you plant tomato seeds for me, I’ll grow strong, so please eat me properly.

If, like in this song, you try growing tomatoes from seed, you might naturally grow attached and find yourself thinking, “Maybe I’ll try eating the tomatoes I used to dislike.” Rather than forcing yourself to eat them and piling up unpleasant memories, overcoming a dislike of vegetables in this way is a great idea! So why not take on the challenge of growing tomatoes, so you can respond to the tomato’s love call head-on?

The Bento Box Songdōyō

[Hand Play] The Bento Lunch Box Song♪

“Obentōbako no Uta” is a song where you pack a lunchbox with onigiri and all kinds of other foods.

It’s fun as a counting song and a hand-play song, and it features lots of vegetables like carrots and lotus root.

The bento being made here is a healthy, veggie-packed lunch! If your child doesn’t like vegetables, try packing the items that appear in the song into their lunchbox and take the first step toward overcoming picky eating.

Since it matches a song they already know, they might naturally reach for the food.

By the way, the sandwich version includes cucumbers and tomatoes, so pick the one you prefer and give veggie conquering a try!
