A rainbow arches across the sky after the rain.

“I wonder what lies beyond it?”—that’s exactly the kind of question every child can’t help but ask, isn’t it? Listening to this song, which sings of the sun after the rain and the warmth of a friend’s hand in yours, somehow makes your spirits feel brighter too.

It has a very cheerful tone—fun to listen to and excitement-inducing.

The April 2019 “Song of the Month,” Mirai Kurukuru.

It’s sung by Yuichiro Hanada and Atsuko Ono.

It’s a dance song with an unusually rock-like sound for a children’s song! In fact, the choreography even includes a move where you strum an imaginary guitar.

It’s a bit hard for little kids, but for older preschoolers it’s a fun track they can imitate and dance to.

It would probably hype up a karaoke session, too.

The lyrics are so positive that if you listen when you’re feeling down, your worries might just blow away!
