This “Sparrows Do the Samba” is, as the title suggests, a playful song with a bit of a pun: sparrows dancing the “samba” in a group of “three.” Its upbeat, lively tune makes it easy and fun for young children to listen to—highly recommended.

We can’t always give it our all, can we? Even when we’re doing our best—wanting to try this, wanting to get good at that—there are times when we end up exhausted, things don’t go well, and nothing seems to work.

It’s okay to have things you’re not good at, and it’s okay to have things you can’t do.

“Yeah, That’s Okay” is a song that tells you just that: it’s fine as you are.

Even if you can’t push yourself today, even if you can’t do this or that, it gently sings, “It’s okay, it’s all right.” It’s a warm, comforting number that stays by your side, saying, “Let’s feel better and try again,” so let’s sing and dance to it with a smile.

From the beloved show “Okaasan to Issho,” a new song by Yuichiro Hanada and Maya Nagata has arrived.

With a cheerful melody and bright lyrics, it vividly paints children’s dreams and hopes in colorful hues.

Its lively rhythm and easy-to-follow structure make it perfect for singing and dancing along, ideal for moving and having fun with kids.

Released in April 2023, this song is recommended for events at nursery schools and kindergartens, as well as for family time at home.

How about everyone singing together and creating a world full of dreams?

Winter’s Daughter, Rikka-RokkaYokoyama Daisuke / Mitani Takumi

“Fuyu no Musume Rikka Rokka” is a quintessential winter song from Okaasan to Issho, known for its slightly bittersweet melody and lyrics.

By the way, “Rikka Rokka” comes from the Japanese word rikka (六花), which refers to snow.

It’s a masterpiece with a lovely sense for word choice.

During Winter, Together with Mother – January 2017 Song

It’s a song that asks things like fans and wind chimes, which we don’t use during winter, “What are you doing? Are you sleeping?” The childlike idea of “I’m sure they’re having dreams like this!” is so cute, it makes you want to listen to it over and over.

It would also be fun to make a parody version using things you actually have at home!

Pajama Party Visit

I bet many people practiced putting on their pajamas while singing this song.

It was even used on “Okaasan to Issho” as the background music for kids trying their hardest to change into their pajamas.

It’s a song you’ll want to let children hear at least once as they grow up.

Chonmage MarchMizuki Ichirō

It’s the song that goes, “If I had a chonmage topknot, I’d end sentences with ‘gozaru’ and call my dad ‘chichi-ue.’” It has been passed down and sung by successive generations of the “Singing Big Brothers” since the time of Ichiro Mizuki, the second “Singing Big Brother.” As an aside, the nickname “Aniki” for Ichiro Mizuki is said to come from his role as the “Big Brother” on Okaasan to Issho.
