Get pumped with popular songs from “Okaasan to Issho”! A collection of timeless tunes everyone will want to sing together

Ho-re!Hanada Yuuichirou, Nagata Maya

[Okaasan to Issho October 2022 Song] “Ho-Re!” Cover

Just when you think it starts with a melancholy, flamenco-like melody, Ho-Re! suddenly bursts into a cheerful rhythm and tune—it’s a song about vegetables growing in the fields.

With lively, dig-dig beats, it shows, through a fun dance, how potatoes, daikon radishes, and carrots are briskly dug up from the soil.

The witty lyrics are another highlight.

There’s even a little learning element, as you wonder what kinds of vegetables grow in a field.

It’s also fun that familiar dishes made with those vegetables appear in the lyrics.

Come on—sing, dance, and play to the steady Ho-re, ho-re rhythm!

I’m sure everyone has heard this song at least once, right? It’s so popular that you always hear it in winter, or a family member hums it.

If Dad and Mom sing it, it seems like it would really capture their interest.

Rainy Day HeartbeatHanada Yuuichirou, Ono Atsuko

Rainy Day Thrills — With Mother (cover — full version)

We tend to think rainy days are boring because we can’t play outside, but once you listen to this song, those feelings will blow away and rainy days will become fun! You’ll notice sounds you don’t usually hear, like raindrops and thunder, and see colorful umbrellas that look different than usual.

The song compares them to things like a concert or an art exhibition, giving children a chance to make new discoveries.

A-I-UuSatō Hiromichi

[Ah-I-Uu] With Mother

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!

Shuriken NinjaTaniguchi Kunihiro

Finger Play: “Shuriken Ninja” (Kasama Tomobe Kindergarten Child-Rearing Information)

It’s a play song where you pretend to be a ninja: you jump to dodge the “foot shuriken” aimed at your feet, crouch to avoid the “head shuriken” aimed at your head, and catch the “ninja chop” with a sword-catching pose.

Sky-Blue Crayon – A-I-U-E-O Onigiri 2

It’s a song that makes you feel happy thanks to delicious rice balls.

The fillings mentioned in the lyrics are “umeboshi” (pickled plum), “salmon,” and “okaka” (bonito flakes), but it’s a play song where you can decide together with children and make rice balls with your favorite fillings.
