Jungle PocketMiyauchi Ryo, Nanase Hitomi
It’s a classic song that has been passed down by the “Uta no Onii-san” from Ryo Miyauchi, the 4th Uta no Onii-san, to the present.
Various tools that come out of a pocket are likened to animals, and the pocket they emerge from is compared to a jungle.
It’s a song that makes you excited and curious, wondering, “What’s next?”
Let’s join the Dandelion Group!!Imai Yūzō, Haida Shōko
This is a song written and composed by Osamu Sakata, the seventh “Uta no Onii-san” from the TV show “Okaasan to Issho.” If you wave to the sun and breathe in the gentle breeze, you can join the Dandelion Brigade, friends of spring.
It’s a warm and tender spring song.

It’s an exciting, up-tempo song that carries the message, “If you bravely take the first step, a bright future awaits.” It gives courage not only to children but also to adults, leaving you feeling somehow positive and forward-looking.
Morning Pella!Hanada Yuuichirou, Ono Atsuko
Just hearing the title of this track, “AsaPella!”, you might not really know what to make of it.
I’m told “AsaPella” is a coined word combining “asa” (morning) and “a cappella.” With that in mind, when you listen you’ll notice a truly beautiful harmony created solely by human voices.
And since it’s a song themed around the morning, it leaves you feeling fresh and breezy.
It’s definitely a track I hope you’ll play in the morning to kick off your day with a perfect head start.
