It was broadcast with vocals by Yuichiro Hanada and Atsuko Ono as the “Song of the Month” for April 2020 on NHK E-TV’s Okaasan to Issho.
Created by Yujin Kitagawa of Yuzu, the piece is designed to naturally nurture children’s interest in nature and the universe.
It encourages kids to explore the world with a spirit of adventure and enjoy it with rich imagination.
The track is included on the album “Saishin Best: Uchuu ni Muchuu,” and is characterized by an upbeat, bright tempo that’s perfect for parachute (para-balloon) performances.
With lyrics that spark children’s curiosity and simple, easy-to-remember choreography, it’s ideal for group performances at sports days and school recitals.
Sushi PicnicHanada Yuuichirou, Ono Atsuko16rank/position
The monthly song for November and December 2003, “Sushi Picnic.” This song is a classic that’s been sung for many years and is popular in early childhood settings.
The main character is the rice of the sushi, which gives piggyback rides to various toppings and takes them on a picnic.
When we think of sushi, our eyes tend to go to the colorful toppings, but it’s thanks to the rice that we can really enjoy them.
The rice is the true star! Listening to this song makes you feel that way.
With lyrics that read like a picture book, it’s sure to captivate children.
Help! Oyoyo ManHanada Yuuichirou, Ono Atsuko17rank/position
This is the song of Oyoyoman, who comes to the rescue when you’re in trouble! When your room is a mess after playing, or when you’re too tired to walk anymore, Oyoyoman shows up and—like magic!—helps you tidy up or gives you a burst of energy.
It’s a fun song with an Arabian-style melody that sticks in your ears.
Whether it’s tidying toys your child doesn’t want to clean up or going out for a long time, this song might help switch their mood.
It’s a tune we hope parents and kids will sing together at the top of their lungs.
One idea is for the parent to get into character as Oyoyoman!
Good morning!Hanada Yuuichirou, Ono Atsuko18rank/position
It’s the perfect song for a morning when a fun day is about to begin! The lyrics include the “good morning!” calls of various animals, so if Dad or Mom calls out the animal names, kids will likely get into it and imitate the animal sounds with excitement!
