Good morning!Hanada Yuuichirou, Ono Atsuko
It’s the perfect song for a morning when a fun day is about to begin! The lyrics include the “good morning!” calls of various animals, so if Dad or Mom calls out the animal names, kids will likely get into it and imitate the animal sounds with excitement! It’s also recommended for kids who aren’t morning people!

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.
