I’m here.yokoyama daisuke
It’s a gentle, ballad-style song that not only comforts children but also reaches the hearts of moms and dads working hard at parenting.
There may be lonely or sad times, but it feels like the song is saying, “You’re not alone.”
UraraHanada Yuuichirou, Nagata Maya
Urara was the first “Song of the Month” for Maya Onee-san on NHK’s Okaasan to Issho, debuting as the song for April 2022.
It was written and composed by Yoshiki Mizuno of Ikimonogakari.
The bright, rhythmic melody and gentle, uplifting lyrics—like “Let’s give a warm, tight hug; everything will be all right”—leave a strong impression on both children and adults.
It’s a lively yet tender tune that perfectly suits new beginnings in spring and everyday moments for parents and kids alike.
Cavity Construction Co., Ltd.Hayami Kentarō, Shigemori Ayumi
Many children probably say things like, “I hate brushing my teeth!” right? As its name suggests, ‘Cavity Construction Co., Ltd.’ is a song about a company that makes cavities! Using drills and shovels, they dig out cavities while germs have a field day.
That might sound a bit scary, but it’s actually a very sprightly and fun tune! It’s a big hit with kids, too.

Ogre’s Pants
It’s the ever-popular song “Oni no Pants” that hasn’t changed since long ago.
So the ogre’s underwear was made from tiger skin, huh? When we think of ogres, we picture them as strong and powerful, often playing the bad guy, which can scare many children.
But the ogres in this song are very cute, and everyone ends up singing along.
It’s a song that little children can enjoy singing, and one that grandpa and grandma can sing together with them, too.
Applause for you!Hanada Yuuichirou, Nagata Maya, Fukuo Makoto, Akimoto Azuki
Clapping serves as the motif for a bright, refreshing cheer song, “Kimi ni Hakushu!” which appeared as the February 2023 song on NHK’s Okaasan to Issho.
The lyrics were written by the unit “Aritarou,” and the composition was handled by Taro Masuda himself.
Its rhythmic melody and handclaps resonate with fun! The lyrics are filled with positive phrases like “A round of applause for the one I love,” “A round of applause for being born,” and “A round of applause for the miracle that we met,” making it a song that brings energy and gratitude to both children and adults.
Be sure to listen while clapping along with your kids!

Lyrics by Yuko Onari, music by Masami Kurihara.

One Little One and One Little OneHanada Yuuichirou, Ono Atsuko

In real life, one sock sometimes goes missing at home, right? This song portrays that everyday occurrence with humor and drama, making it enjoyable for children.
