There are days when even adults get excited when it snows, right? You wake up in the morning, look out the window, and see snow piled up! This is a cute winter song packed with that fluttering excitement.
The lyrics comparing snow to whipped cream are lovely.
Once someone says it, it strangely starts to look that way.
And the squeaky “kyu” sound when you step on snow is definitely fun, too.

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.
Pancakes are wonderful.Yokoyama Daisuke / Mitani Takumi

When you want to play with everyone but can’t bring yourself to speak up, or when you want to talk to a child who’s crying but feel unsure, the magic shoes give you courage.
