Many children may not like the acidity or texture of tomatoes.
This is a song that sings, “See how wonderful tomatoes are?” Even if you’re not a fan of tomatoes, this song might help you feel closer to them and make it easier to eat them.
The straightforward lyrics convey plenty of tomatoes’ charm.

In such times, try playing this song and creating a fun atmosphere while brushing—your child might start enjoying it and willingly brush their teeth.
Give it a fun try together with your child!
When I’m with youHanada Yuuichirou, Ono Atsuko
September 2020’s “Song of the Month,” ‘Kimi to Issho ni Iru to’ (When I’m With You).
The lyrics and music were written by singer-songwriter Mimori Yusa.
This song has a gentle, lovely melody that may bring to mind your friends and loved ones when you listen to it.
It would be moving to sing together at the end of events like preschool graduation thank-you parties.
The song carries the feeling, “I’m happy when you’re here, and it makes me feel stronger.” So listen to it with someone important to you and try saying “thank you.”
Sora Sora SomenHanada Yuuichirou, Ono Atsuko
Released in June 2021, “Sora Sora Somen” is a fun, striking song with a real impact—especially with the somen noodles dancing around! Sung from the perspective of flowing somen, the lyrics freshly and adorably depict the noodle’s feelings as it’s boiled and eaten cold.
It’s great for dancing with kids, and it sounds fun to sing while cooking somen together.
Plus, since it has a Soran-bushi-style rhythm, dancing to it like Soran-bushi would be super fun too.
Definitely give it a try!
