Boyoyon MarchImai Yūzō, Haida Shōko
Despite what its title might suggest, Boyoyon March has such wonderful lyrics that they can move you to tears when you listen.
Many adults love this song, and it’s said that Hitori Gekidan also drew courage from it.
Please experience together, as parent and child, the depth that goes far beyond being merely bright and fun.
Flower of ThanksYokoyama Daisuke / Mitani Takumi
It’s a song about how saying “thank you” makes everyone happy, which in turn makes you want to say “thank you” even more—the “thank yous” spread like flowers.
Takumi Mitani, who was active as the 20th Uta no Oneesan, sang this song at the end of her farewell address.
Surely a miracleHanada Yuuichirou, Nagata Maya
Perfect for spring, new beginnings, and the new school term—here’s an introduction to “Kitto Kiseki,” a song parents and children will want to listen to together.
Some listeners may find courage and hope in the message woven into the lyrics.
The song is being presented as the Song of April 2025.
Of course it suits the season of new encounters in spring, but it’s also a great listen when you’re feeling down or after a quarrel with a friend—it may help you feel gratitude for the people you meet and a sense of destiny.
It might even turn your attention to encounters with animals and nature beyond humans.
What a wonderful song.
Go by Shinkansen! Go, go!Yokoyama Daisuke / Mitani Takumi
If your child loves trains—and especially the Shinkansen—this is a sure-fire song to recommend! The Shinkansen is so cool, isn’t it? Its sleek look and incredible speed.
A lot of kids, especially boys, really get into it, don’t they? Thanks to the racing, fast-paced feel of the music, you can truly feel like you’re riding the Shinkansen.
What kind of towns lie beyond these tracks, and what scenery spreads out there? Be sure to imagine it together as a parent and child.
Ganba RangersHanada Yuuichirou, Nagata Maya
The exciting intro really gets you pumped! Let me introduce “Ganba Rangers.” It’s one of those wonderful songs that sing about the warmth of family and how much we care for one another.
This song was presented as the song for May 2025.
Both the lyrics and music are by Masashi Sada, a renowned creator of many classic tunes.
The lyrics are sprinkled with themes of family love and the feelings children have, and even though the melody is upbeat, you might find yourself moved to tears as you listen.
It’s a poppy number you’ll want to sing along to with your kids.
We were born with a bang!Hanada Yuuichirou, Nagata Maya
An intro that starts with the sound of Japanese taiko drums makes a striking impression! Let me introduce “Bon! Tō umareta bokutachi wa.” Many people probably feel like listening to this song in the summer.
Popular on the show as the song for August 2025, it’s characterized by its rhythmic sounds and call-and-response shouts.
The lyrics are easy for kids to remember, making it a standout track.
Move your body to the calls and the music, and it’s guaranteed to get everyone excited! It should be easy to include at summer festivals and events, too.
It’s a song that’s fun to listen to and fun to dance to.
Karada DandanFukuo Makoto, Akimoto Azuki
One song played during exercise time is Karada☆Dandan.
The previous exercise song, Bunba-Boon!, also featured various creatures, and this one lets kids dance while transforming into things they love—like dinosaurs, sea animals, and even ninjas! Since it’s an exercise song, doing just one track gets the body moving, so try it in the morning to wake up or during group fun in childcare settings.
With little ones, it’s great for adults to dance together with them and teach them to have fun by imitating the moves.
