The laughter is yodeling, yo.Hanada Yuuichirou, Ono Atsuko8rank/position
“Warai-goe ga Yo-deru ne” was released as the Song of November 2021.
The lyrics and music were written by singer-songwriter Daisuke Mori.
Speaking of Daisuke Mori, he also wrote the lyrics and music for the October 2020 song “Pan wa Pan demo!?” This is a very cheerful song that lets you enjoy tickling games in time with the lyrics.
The title seems to be a play on words, combining the vocal technique yodel with the idea of laughter coming out.
Be sure to sing and have fun with toddlers who love tickling games!
Creepy-Crawly Sports DayHanada Yuuichirou, Ono Atsuko9rank/position
It’s a cheerful song with the themes of an aquarium and a sports day.
Jellyfish, dolphins, penguins, and more make appearances, and listening to it makes you want to visit an aquarium.
If your child loves creatures that live in the sea or rivers, this will be right up their alley.
They might even be imagining, “What do those animals usually do all day?” Maybe, just like in this song, they’re holding a sports day…? It tickles the intellect, brings smiles, and is a fun song from Okaasan to Issho.
One step, two steps, a walkHanada Yuuichirou, Ono Atsuko10rank/position
It’s a very catchy song that sings, “Go outside, take a walk, and find what you love!” The rhythm is perfect for a walking pace, and the bright, uplifting lyrics are great.
It makes you want to hum along while taking a stroll.
This is a bit of an aside, but the track aired as the song of April 2021 and became a hot topic online at the time.
The songwriting credit was listed as Edamame-ns, and rumors spread that it might be an alias of the music group GReeeeN, based on the style, melody, and overall feel of the lyrics.

Age-age donutsHanada Yuuichirou, Ono Atsuko11rank/position
The November 2020 Song of the Month, “Ageage Donuts.” It’s a track featuring sweet, delicious donuts that kids often request at snack time.
If you’re crying, a donut comes to comfort you; whenever you see something round, it reminds you of donuts—these cute lyrics make donuts feel even more familiar.
Listening to this song will make you crave donuts, so be sure to pick some up before you listen with your child (lol)!
Morning Pella!Hanada Yuuichirou, Ono Atsuko12rank/position
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.
Rainy Day HeartbeatHanada Yuuichirou, Ono Atsuko13rank/position
We tend to think rainy days are boring because we can’t play outside, but once you listen to this song, those feelings will blow away and rainy days will become fun! You’ll notice sounds you don’t usually hear, like raindrops and thunder, and see colorful umbrellas that look different than usual.
The song compares them to things like a concert or an art exhibition, giving children a chance to make new discoveries.
I’m here.Hanada Yuuichirou, Ono Atsuko14rank/position
It’s a song about how the moon is invisible at noon and the sun is invisible at night, but “even if you can’t see them, they’re always there.” At the end of the lyrics, the moon and the sun turn into friends.
It makes you happy to think that friends are always by your side, doesn’t it?
