March here and thereYokoyama Daisuke / Mitani Takumi
It sings about the childlike spirit brimming with a sense of adventure, going here and there.
It’s a very uplifting song that plays on the NHK program “Okaasan to Issho.” Its march-like choreography is distinctive, and I think parents and children can enjoy moving their bodies together while singing.
The title is literally “March,” so it’s a march, as you’d expect!
Ninja GiraffeHanada Yuuichirou, Ono Atsuko
This is a song with lyrics by Hiroo Takada, who is also famous for “Swim! Taiyaki-kun.” A giraffe who admires ninjas goes “poof!” and tries to vanish like a ninja during hide-and-seek, but because it’s so big, it gets found right away.
Aren’t there many children who, like this giraffe, admire ninjas?
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.
Like, you know… and stuff… ohhh, I get it, I get it.Hanada Yuuichirou, Ono Atsuko
Released in October 2021, the “Song of the Moon” is titled “Nannan, Tokatoka, Naa-runaru.” It’s a fun title, right? This song, with its mysterious vibe, was written and composed by TOBI, the vocalist of Les Romanesques—a music duo popular in Europe’s club scene and at festivals.
The lyrics are mostly just the words from the title, but their impact is sure to make kids love it.
The dance is slow in tempo yet flashy and amusing, so your children will definitely enjoy dancing to it!
With youYokoyama Daisuke / Mitani Takumi
What should I do if I end up fighting with a friend I really love? Even kids feel sad when they have a fight, don’t they? It’s hard to honestly and straightforwardly say “I’m sorry,” but this gentle song expresses the feeling of “I’d be so happy if we could make up.”
Tango of the Red Ogre and the Blue OgreYokoyama Daisuke / Ono Atsuko
It’s a song with a tango rhythm, which is a bit unusual for children’s music.
It’s a very fun piece that makes you picture the red ogre and the blue ogre dancing a synchronized tango.
The chorus will make you want to sing with a powerful, expressive flair! Please give it a listen.

Devil, Be Shocked, Do Your Best!Hanada Yuuichirou, Ono Atsuko
In this song, the real “big brother and sister from the kids’ show” turn into devils and sing.
At first it feels like, “Uh-oh, is a scary song about to start?” but it’s actually a very cute song about bats.
They get feared because of their cries, but bats like to take naps during the day and keep watch at night.
Please don’t be scared of them.
