Rainy Rin-chanSugita Akihiro, Tsunoda Ryōko
Many kids love rain boots, umbrellas, and raincoats, don’t they? Maybe it’s because they have that special feel of being used only on rainy days.
The song’s moist, rain-day vibe is striking.
Try singing along together on a rainy day.

Konjac tonightYokoyama Daisuke / Mitani Takumi
It’s a song themed around konnyaku, and it’s fun because it features lots of onomatopoeia like ‘kunya-kunya’ and ‘gunya-gunya’! If you tell the children to freeze at the shout of ‘Stop!!’ in the middle of the song, it can also turn into a fun game to play!
