Popular song rankings for toddlers (81–90)
Goodbye MarchSakata Osamu, Mori Miyuki81rank/position
Sayonara March is the song that took over the ending theme from Manekko Pun, which had been used since the start of the puppet show Niko Niko Pun.
This was the first time the ending theme had changed within the same puppet show, and it continued to be used for the following eight years.
The hand gate at the end of the program, which is now a standard feature, is said to have started with Sayonara March.
It wonderfully captures the scene of children cheerfully heading home, and it’s heartwarming to see them still playfully having fun right up to the very end as they leave.
Let It Go ~Ari no mama de~Matsu Takako82rank/position
Known as the theme song of the film Frozen, this piece is a masterpiece that fully showcases Takako Matsu’s vocal prowess.
The lyrics, which sing of the resolve to accept one’s true self, resonated with many people.
Upon its release in March 2014, it held the No.
1 spot on RecoChoku’s rankings for 28 consecutive days.
It topped the chart a total of 13 times, setting a new all-time record.
It’s a song that gives you courage when you lack confidence or want to take a new step forward.
LullabySakushi: Kitahara Hakushū / Sakkyoku: Kusakawa Shin83rank/position
This song, which was selected for the 2007 Japan’s Top 100 Songs, is a children’s song with lyrics by Hakushū Kitahara and music by Shin Kusakawa.
In Japan, it is cherished as a lullaby and is often heard as a music box tune inside toys for babies.
The sound of a music box is said to be good for prenatal education, so this song played on a music box could be considered the best.
In addition, this video features the sound inside a mother’s womb in the background, which is said to have a calming effect on babies.
From MotherKasai Shunsuke84rank/position
The timing of a child’s first birthday is a perfect opportunity to look back on their growth so far, isn’t it? This is a piece by Shunsuke Kasai that reflects, from a mother’s perspective, on various memories related to the child’s birth and watching them grow.
The piano-centered sound conveys a strong sense of warmth, and its gentle atmosphere communicates a deep affection.
It depicts the joy of a child’s birth and growth, while also impressively expressing the mother’s happiness at being by the child’s side and her gratitude toward the child.
It’s a powerful yet tender composition that evokes a sense of hope as we move forward into the future.
glitter-sparkle-ponHanada Yuuichirou, Nagata Maya85rank/position
This is the ending theme that was changed with the start of the 2022 series “Fantane!”.
It’s a bit sad that the hand gates and tunnels created by the show’s beloved characters since its inception have officially been removed.
A standout feature is the sign-language choreography that matches the lyrics, which adds a solid educational element in addition to the song’s fun.
The relaxed rhythm is also pleasant, and it’s a piece that invites listeners to savor the message while encouraging large, expressive movements.
