Since its debut on NHK’s “Okaasan to Issho” in 2006, it has continued to be loved by both children and adults.
The song carries the message that everyone has a powerful spring under their feet: even when things are tough, you can spring over them and keep looking forward as you walk on.

It was broadcast in March 2008 as the “Song of the Month,” created to coincide with their graduation from the program.
The track is included on the album NHK Okaasan to Issho Song Collection: Yume no Kakera, released in April of the same year, as well as the DVD NHK Okaasan to Issho Latest Songbook: Kimi ni Aeta kara.
The lyrics, which express gratitude for meeting and the poignancy of parting, resonate deeply.
Carried by a gentle melody, the pair’s clear harmonies softly embrace the listener’s heart.
It’s perfect for graduation slideshow presentations and appreciation parties, and many parents and teachers may find themselves moved to tears as they look back on their days with the children.
Summer Memorieshaida shouko4rank/position
I feel like I learned both the name of the place Oze and the flower skunk cabbage from this song.
The piece itself seems to be quite old, but I think I got to know it through “Minna no Uta.” The lyrics, which sing of memories of Oze, bring to mind a serene and beautiful landscape.
Sushi PicnicImai Yūzō, Haida Shōko5rank/position
Released in 2004, it was included as the first track on “Children’s Songs ~Sushi Picnic / A-I-U-E Onigiri~.” Sung by Sho Haida, the 19th “Uta no Onee-san” (Big Sister), and Yuzo Imai, the 10th “Uta no Onii-san” (Big Brother), from the NHK educational program “Okaasan to Issho,” the song became very popular.
Splatty SplappaImai Yūzō, Haida Shōko6rank/position
The song Splappi-Splappa was used as the ending theme for the puppet shows “Spoo and Gatalatt” and “Gū Chokoran-tan.” It was the ending theme used for the longest period—ten years—from 1999 to 2009, and it was passed down and sung by three generations of the show’s lead singers (the “older brother” and “older sister” roles).
In 2016, the three-piece rock band Yabai T-Shirts Yasan also covered the song on their single “Sokomade Rare Janai.”

This song, “Niji” (“Rainbow”), is planted—so to speak—across kindergartens and nursery schools nationwide.
The music is by Hirotaka Nakagawa, with lyrics by Toshihiko Shinzawa.
The video I’m introducing features the version sung by Shoko Haida, a singer who also served as the “big sister” on the children’s program Okaasan to Issho.
It has a melody that clears the heart and lifts the spirits.
When you’re feeling down or struggling with something, this song might just save you.
Chuggington Opening Themehaida shouko8rank/position
The opening song of the CG railway anime Chuggington, a hit from the UK loved around the world.
The character settings are fun—there’s Wilson, the red diesel engine who’s always cheerful and a bit clumsy in a cute way; Brewster, laid-back but kind-hearted; and Koko, the slightly impatient electric engine.
Their memorable catchphrases are woven in, too, and the upbeat melody will make not only kids but adults want to hum along.
Be sure to sing it out loud together as a family!
