Complete List of Ending Themes from “Okaasan to Issho” (All-Time)

Do-Re-Mi-Fa TrainHayami Kentarō, Shigemori Ayumi

The ending theme of the puppet show “Doremifa Donuts!,” set on Donuts Island near Niko-Niko Island—the setting of the previous work “Niko Niko, Pun”—is “Doremifa Ressha.” The main vocals were performed by Kentarō Hayami, the 8th “Uta no Onii-san,” and Ayumi Shigemori, the 17th “Uta no Onee-san.” It’s a groovy, funky number featuring slap bass and cutting guitar.

As the title suggests, it uses many sound effects that evoke trains, such as locomotive whistles and chuffing steam sounds.

Bun Bun Hoi is the ending theme of the puppet show Bun Bun Time, which aired within Okaasan to Issho for three years starting in 1979.

It was sung by Ryo Miyauchi, the fourth ‘Uta no Onii-san,’ and Hitomi Nanase, the thirteenth ‘Uta no Onee-san.’ Partway through, it includes a game similar to the Okaasan to Issho version of “Acchi Muite Hoi.” There’s also a version by Korogi ’73, a chorus unit active from 1972 to 1990 that performed anime songs and children’s songs.

In conclusion

Many of you might have felt a wave of nostalgia while listening.

It could even spark some reminiscing with your friends.

We’ll keep updating this when new endings are broadcast, so if you’re interested, please stop by again.
