Surely a miracleHanada Yuuichirou, Nagata Maya
Perfect for spring, new beginnings, and the new school term—here’s an introduction to “Kitto Kiseki,” a song parents and children will want to listen to together.
Some listeners may find courage and hope in the message woven into the lyrics.
The song is being presented as the Song of April 2025.
Of course it suits the season of new encounters in spring, but it’s also a great listen when you’re feeling down or after a quarrel with a friend—it may help you feel gratitude for the people you meet and a sense of destiny.
It might even turn your attention to encounters with animals and nature beyond humans.
What a wonderful song.
Go by Shinkansen! Go, go!Yokoyama Daisuke / Mitani Takumi
If your child loves trains—and especially the Shinkansen—this is a sure-fire song to recommend! The Shinkansen is so cool, isn’t it? Its sleek look and incredible speed.
A lot of kids, especially boys, really get into it, don’t they? Thanks to the racing, fast-paced feel of the music, you can truly feel like you’re riding the Shinkansen.
What kind of towns lie beyond these tracks, and what scenery spreads out there? Be sure to imagine it together as a parent and child.
Magical La-La-La♪Hanada Yuuichirou, Ono Atsuko
“Mahou no La La La♪” was released as the song for February 2022.
It was the monthly song for the final month of Atsuko Ono (Ono Atsuko Onee-san), who graduated in March 2022.
The lyrics were written by Aritarou and Takanori Mizoguchi, and the music was composed by Taro Masuda.
This is a very gentle song that encourages young children who find it hard to sing out confidently.
Since the “la la la” in the title is repeated many times, even children who can only sing quietly at first will likely find themselves singing louder before they know it.
Try singing it together with lots of energy!
One step, two steps, a walkHanada Yuuichirou, Ono Atsuko
It’s a very catchy song that sings, “Go outside, take a walk, and find what you love!” The rhythm is perfect for a walking pace, and the bright, uplifting lyrics are great.
It makes you want to hum along while taking a stroll.
This is a bit of an aside, but the track aired as the song of April 2021 and became a hot topic online at the time.
The songwriting credit was listed as Edamame-ns, and rumors spread that it might be an alias of the music group GReeeeN, based on the style, melody, and overall feel of the lyrics.
