Stroll MarchHanada Yuuichirou・Ono Atsuko

This is the May 2019 song “Osanpo March.” It’s a marching tune where children keep moving forward as they lose themselves on top of a rainbow, in outer space, inside dreams, or in a maze of sweets.
It’s a piece filled to the brim with children’s dreams.
While it’s called a “stroll,” it’s a dreamy song that makes it feel as if the kids have become adventurers.
It’s perfect for a walk—one that makes you want to head out for a stroll and even use it as background music.
Earth boing-boingYokoyama Daisuke / Mitani Takumi

We go for a walk, hopping and bouncing around the Earth.
It’s a bright, upbeat song that says by bouncing, you can even see everyone’s smiles and tomorrow itself.
At concerts and the like, it seems people add call-and-response lines such as “Up to here!” and “Come on over!”
I’ll give you a medal.Yokoyama Daisuke / Mitani Takumi

This is a very kind-hearted song about giving medals to the things and people that make you happy and bring a smile to your face—like the sun, lunchboxes, moms, and trains.
Expressing gratitude is so important, isn’t it? Anyone would be delighted to receive a medal.
Try making one for someone you want to say “thank you” to.
If we make it togetherImai Yūzō, Haida Shōko

Known as a popular song from NHK’s “Okaasan to Issho,” this piece features warm lyrics that convey the importance of cooperation through the meeting of shapes and colors.
The bright, fun melody sung as a duet by Yuzo Imai and Shoko Haida captivates children and won’t let go.
Since its first appearance on the program in April 2005, it has been loved for many years as a song that parents and children can enjoy together.
With imagination-nurturing lyrics and a catchy rhythm, singing and dancing to it with your child is sure to create wonderful memories.
It’s also perfect for activities at nursery schools and kindergartens, so be sure to give it a try!
Congratulations a hundred timesYokoyama Daisuke / Mitani Takumi

This was the monthly song for February and March 2013 from the Takumi Mitani & Daisuke Yokoyama era, with lyrics by Shinzo Higurashi and music by Kan Sawada.
It’s a gentle song filled with love, expressing the desire to tell children—who grow a little each day—over and over how much they are loved.
Moku-moku fuyu—nHanada Yuuichirou, Ono Atsuko

This is a song that was played as the January 2018 song on NHK Educational TV’s “Okaasan to Issho.” When did you first notice, as a child, that your breath looks white in winter? You might have gotten excited wondering what it was, tried it over and over, or challenged your friends to see how long you could breathe out toward the sky.
Those fun feelings are captured in this song.
Even as an adult, doing it now still gives you that tingling sense of winter, doesn’t it? It might be even more fun to sing it while puffing your breath onto your palms together with your child.
Let’s join the Dandelion Group!!Imai Yūzō, Haida Shōko

This is a song written and composed by Osamu Sakata, the seventh “Uta no Onii-san” from the TV show “Okaasan to Issho.” If you wave to the sun and breathe in the gentle breeze, you can join the Dandelion Brigade, friends of spring.
It’s a warm and tender spring song.
