It features vampires, werewolves, and Frankenstein, all stepping in time and dancing together.

Karaoke JOYSOUND (Cover) Let's Go Home / Daisuke Yokoyama, Takumi Mitani (original key) I Tried Singing

With this “Let’s Go Home,” I imagine many people may recall a bit of how they felt as small children—the sunset sky, that slightly bittersweet feeling as the day comes to an end… It’s a song that makes you a little sentimental.

Kobuta, Tanuki, Kitsune, Neko [Song by Mama and Papa] - Okaasan to Issho nursery rhyme hand play

A very fun play song where animal names connect in a shiritori-style chain.

Because the structure repeats the animals’ names, it’s easy to remember, and even children who have just started talking might be able to imitate and sing along.

The charm of this piece lies in the parts where you mimic animal sounds.

The humorous sound of the words may be a curious and amusing highlight.

Originally released in August 1999 as a song by Masako Saito and the Suginami Children’s Choir, it became widely loved after being performed on the NHK program “Okaasan to Issho,” and it remains popular today.

Be sure to sing it together as a parent and child, adding cute gestures to match each animal.

Let me introduce “Miteté Carnival,” a song that’s so fun it lifts your spirits just by listening! It aired in June 2024 on NHK’s “Okaasan to Issho.” The lyrics and music are by Takumi Murata, who is also the leader of the rock band “Carnavacation.” He creates music that fuses Brazilian sounds with pop, and he works on many songs for children as well.

For example, he wrote the September 2023 monthly song “Ninjin Engine Rocket” and the exercise song “Kao Taisou.” Through his music, Murata hopes to make the world as joyful as a carnival.

Be sure to sing along with your kids and make every day a little more fun!

One apple pie

There’s only one apple pie, but since two of us are eating, we’ll split it in half.

Then what about sharing one chocolate among three people? Sharing snacks can be tricky, but it’s fun when everyone eats together.

This is a heartwarming piece that evokes the scene at the dining table.
