Looking up at the blue skyYokoyama Daisuke / Mitani Takumi
It’s a classic, upbeat tune overflowing with a fresh, breezy feel, and the expansive vocals really stand out! It’s packed with a fun vibe that makes you want to go out somewhere.
It sounds like a song kids would happily sing and dance to as well.
Toy BluesYokoyama Daisuke / Mitani Takumi
It’s a song that says “Clean up after you’re done playing!” from the toys’ point of view.
If I were a toy, I’d surely feel the same way as in this song.
It might work well if you let kids who struggle with tidying up after playtime listen to it! And at night, please let the toys rest in their toy box, too.

The Song of the Month for June 2012 features lyrics by Mishio Ogawa and music by Takeshi Shibuya.
The “waiting quietly” mentioned in the title actually refers to a single tree on a hill that is always watching over everyone.
It’s a fun piece with an appealing, lively, upbeat feel.

The lyrics were written by Kanon Kuwa, and the music was composed by Kanō Kawashima.
From the lyrics, you can tell that what tumbles down with the onomatopoeia “koronpa” is a beaming smile! A child’s smile is a treasure, isn’t it?
Help! Oyoyo ManHanada Yuuichirou, Ono Atsuko
This is the song of Oyoyoman, who comes to the rescue when you’re in trouble! When your room is a mess after playing, or when you’re too tired to walk anymore, Oyoyoman shows up and—like magic!—helps you tidy up or gives you a burst of energy.
It’s a fun song with an Arabian-style melody that sticks in your ears.
Whether it’s tidying toys your child doesn’t want to clean up or going out for a long time, this song might help switch their mood.
It’s a tune we hope parents and kids will sing together at the top of their lungs.
One idea is for the parent to get into character as Oyoyoman!

Mola mola sunfishYokoyama Daisuke / Mitani Takumi
“Moramora Mambo,” which was also included in the customary Monthly Songs Best from Okaasan to Issho.
It’s a catchy song with a lively mambo rhythm that everyone loves.
“Moramora” is said to come from the sunfish’s scientific name.
A yawn goes bibubeba.Yokoyama Daisuke, Mitsuya Takumi
Just hearing the title “Akubi ga Bibubeba” makes me think it has a funny ring to it, and I imagine kids would find it quite amusing too.
Up-tempo songs tend to be a hit with children, you know.
Even the parts where the rhythm is unexpected could lead to something fun when kids accept them unconsciously.
Children’s songs are actually crafted with surprising depth.
