That's What Friends Are — Okaasan to Issho, July–August 2011 Song

It’s a lovely song that makes you feel that it’s okay for everyone not to be the same.

Even if you argue with friends or start to dislike someone, it sings, “That’s okay.” It warms your heart when you listen to it, so please give it a try.

You and IImai Yūzō, Haida Shōko

Dekoboko Friends: “Me and You”

This is a song from the animated segment “Dekoboko Friends,” which aired within the program “Okaasan to Issho.” Many of you may already be familiar with it.

When you discover a different side of someone, you sometimes find yourself thinking, “I really like them.” I hope children won’t be afraid of being different from everyone else.

Crazy About Space / With Mother (Covered by UtaSta)

Uchuu ni Muchuu (Crazy About Space) aired in April 2020.

I think many children are interested in astronomy and outer space.

And this song may be just the spark that makes them want to learn more and more about space—truly a chance to become “crazy about space.” The phrase like “Mercury, Venus, Earth, Mars, Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, Neptune,” which sounds like a magic passphrase to those who don’t know it, is really fun.

There’s still so much we don’t know about the universe—how wonderful it would be if future astronomers and astronauts were inspired by this song!

Bean Squad Bibin-BiinHanada Yuuichirou, Ono Atsuko

Bean Squadron Bibin Bean / The Beans’ Sharp Dance! A popular song from Okaasan to Issho COVER: Otousan to Issho · Yoko Ueno

The October 2017 song “Omame Sentai Bibinbiin.” Since they’re beans, it’s “bean,” of course.

From the title alone it sounds fun, and when you listen, it definitely lives up to expectations—a delightful song.

The singing big brother and big sister, along with the exercise big brother and big sister, become a superhero squad—the Bean Sentai—and sing and dance joyfully.

It’s a track that both adults and children can enjoy together.

What color do you like?Sakata Osamu, Kanzaki Yūko

[Baby Stops Crying] What Color Do You Like? / Together with Mother (Covered by UtaSuta) [Crayon/Colors/Memorization Song]

Countless people must have sung this song when they were little.

Every time you use crayons, colored pencils, or paints, it pops into your head, doesn’t it? You start with your favorite colors, so those are the ones that run out first… It’s a children’s song that makes drawing even more fun.

In fact, this song was written by Osamu Sakata, who served as the seventh “Uta no Onii-san” starting in 1985.

It’s a fitting story for Mr.

Sakata, who originally made his mark as a band musician and singer.

Perfect for your drawing time with the kids!

Mahou no Tobira Revised (for ume3)

Is it perhaps inspired by the land of dreams? The song cheerfully sings about scenes like amusement parks and theme parks—what could be called a paradise for children.

The lyrics were written by Amemori Nemuri and Yuu Sawamura, and the music was composed by Yasuhiro Takano; the song was created in 2010.

Yeah, yay!!Yokoyama Daisuke / Mitani Takumi

“Ie Yei!!” Choreography Movie

It’s a very upbeat, cheerful song with occasional “Yay!” call-and-responses.

It’s a song about homes: while different creatures have different kinds of homes, in the end your own home makes you feel the biggest “Yay!”, and the home itself hopes to be the place where everyone feels the biggest “Yay!”
