Everyone, everyone, everyoneYokoyama Daisuke / Mitani Takumi
When we become adults, we always introduce ourselves when we meet someone for the first time.
But as this song suggests, maybe that wasn’t necessary when we were children.
Thinking back, I don’t remember ever making a point of giving my name before playing.
A gentle world where everyone holds hands and becomes friends—that thought puts my heart at ease.
Mole TunnelSugita Akihiro, Tsunoda Ryōko
This song, which aired in 2019, humorously sings about tunnels dug by moles.
With everyone dancing in sunglasses, it was great fun, and many children probably danced their hearts out in front of the TV.
It also became a hot topic among mothers, who couldn’t get enough of Makoto Oniisan’s muscles and dance moves as he thrived in his role as the exercise big brother.
Fruit TarōHanada Yuuichirou, Nagata Maya
Throughout spring, summer, autumn, and winter, there are delicious fruits to enjoy.
Peaches, strawberries, cherries, bananas, apples, pineapples—such a colorful array of fruits has become a cheerful song.
We all know Momotaro for peaches, but what about the other fruits? Strawberry becomes Ichigo-taro, cherry becomes Sakuranbo-taro, and these cute fruit characters dance joyfully to the fun tune.
Since so many fruits appear, the title is “Fruit Taro.” Let’s do the fruit dance together with friends and family and have a great time!

In addition to frequent airings on the program, it’s reportedly performed at events such as family concerts.
It’s a song that parents and children can enjoy together, making it perfect for family time as well as activities at preschools and kindergartens.
Here and thereHayami Kentarō, Shigemori Ayumi
Holding hands is fun, and when our shoulders touch, it makes me happy.
If we fight, it makes me very sad, but when our eyes meet, we make up.
Listening to it as an adult, it starts to feel like it might actually be a song about first love—a gentle, tender-sounding piece.
Dandelion-chan and Horsetail-kunHayami Kentarō, Shigemori Ayumi
When spring arrives, along come Dandelion Girl “Tanpopo-chan” and Horsetail Boy “Tsukushi-kun.” With their cute yellow petals and little brown caps, these icons of spring are celebrated in a charming melody—a song that really lets you feel the arrival of the season.
A Boy’s SummerSugita Akihiro, Tsunoda Ryōko
It’s a song about summer memories like catching bugs and playing in the water at the beach.
Although it’s from a children’s program, the lyrics are sung from the perspective of reminiscing about one’s early childhood, so even adults will feel very nostalgic listening to it.
It would be nice for parents and children to spend a summer vacation like this together.
