Drawing on EarthYokoyama Daisuke / Mitani Takumi
This piece is marked by a relaxed, flowing melody.
“Who in the world is drawing on the Earth…?” The lyrics are truly lovely, prompting you to notice things you may never have realized before.
Please listen with a calm, unhurried mind.
I’m here.Hanada Yuuichirou, Ono Atsuko
It’s a song about how the moon is invisible at noon and the sun is invisible at night, but “even if you can’t see them, they’re always there.” At the end of the lyrics, the moon and the sun turn into friends.
It makes you happy to think that friends are always by your side, doesn’t it?
Fine weather for tomorrow, please!Yokoyama Daisuke / Mitani Takumi
It’s the song that has been used as the ending theme for “Okaasan to Issho” since the 2009 puppet show Monoran Monoran began.
Although the ending song often changed when the puppet show was renewed, this song continued to be used across three generations—after Monoran Monoran, through Pokottoite and Garapiko Puu—until March 2017.
Norimaki Pera Pari OndoHanada Yuuichirou, Nagata Maya
Nori (seaweed) that comes in super handy when making everyone’s favorites—rice balls and sushi rolls.
We’ve turned that beloved norimaki into a cheerful bon-odori-style tune.
It’s a unique “Norimaki Pera-Pari Ondo” that everyone can enjoy dancing to at bon dances, school plays, and recitals.
The choreography includes moves like rolling a sushi roll, and it’s packed with fun sound effects.
It’s also great fun to shout out call-and-response together.
Learn the choreography with friends and family, and let’s get into the groove and dance the “Norimaki Pera-Pari Ondo”!
A Drop of StarHanada Yuuichirou, Ono Atsuko
The monthly children’s song feature “Song of the Month” for July 2021 is Hoshi no Hitoshizuku (A Drop of Star).
Written and composed by steel pan player Tonchi, this song has a soothing steel pan sound and is sung as a duet by Yuichiro Oniisan and Atsuko Oneesan.
The dance gently sways like the melody—yura~ yura~—so even little kids can relax and move along to the music.
It’s popular with children, of course, but especially with moms, making it a great pick for parents and kids to enjoy together.
A-I-UuSatō Hiromichi
Speaking of “Okaasan to Issho,” it’s the exercise song where the singing big brother and big sister dance together with the exercise big brother, right? I think this is the song most of you recognize the most.
It’s a lively exercise tune where you can move your whole body while enjoying the 50 Japanese syllables (a-i-u-e-o, etc.) through fun facial expressions.
In the song, there are also parts where you transform into familiar animals for children, like squirrels, cats, and cranes—great moments to move your body in a fun way.
Be sure to try doing the exercises while listening to the song!
Are you good at brushing your teeth?
Brushing your teeth is something you do throughout your life, so it’s very important.
However, most children who have just gotten their first teeth dislike brushing! Many moms struggle with this.
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!
