Like, you know… and stuff… ohhh, I get it, I get it.Hanada Yuuichirou, Ono Atsuko31rank/position
Released in October 2021, the “Song of the Moon” is titled “Nannan, Tokatoka, Naa-runaru.” It’s a fun title, right? This song, with its mysterious vibe, was written and composed by TOBI, the vocalist of Les Romanesques—a music duo popular in Europe’s club scene and at festivals.
The lyrics are mostly just the words from the title, but their impact is sure to make kids love it.
The dance is slow in tempo yet flashy and amusing, so your children will definitely enjoy dancing to it!
Ninja GiraffeHanada Yuuichirou, Ono Atsuko32rank/position
This is a song with lyrics by Hiroo Takada, who is also famous for “Swim! Taiyaki-kun.” A giraffe who admires ninjas goes “poof!” and tries to vanish like a ninja during hide-and-seek, but because it’s so big, it gets found right away.
Aren’t there many children who, like this giraffe, admire ninjas?
Ta-da-da-da-daaa!Hanada Yuuichirou, Ono Atsuko33rank/position
It takes courage to try something you’ve never done before—even for adults.
All the more so for little kids who don’t have much experience in the world yet.
But maybe this upbeat song will help lift their spirits.
There are surely many parents who want their children to take on all kinds of challenges with the attitude this song conveys.
Sometimes they’ll fail.
But if they succeed, let’s celebrate with a big “Panpaka-paan!”—just like the song’s title!
A Drop of StarHanada Yuuichirou, Ono Atsuko34rank/position
The monthly children’s song feature “Song of the Month” for July 2021 is Hoshi no Hitoshizuku (A Drop of Star).
Written and composed by steel pan player Tonchi, this song has a soothing steel pan sound and is sung as a duet by Yuichiro Oniisan and Atsuko Oneesan.
The dance gently sways like the melody—yura~ yura~—so even little kids can relax and move along to the music.
It’s popular with children, of course, but especially with moms, making it a great pick for parents and kids to enjoy together.
Magical La-La-La♪Hanada Yuuichirou, Ono Atsuko35rank/position
“Mahou no La La La♪” was released as the song for February 2022.
It was the monthly song for the final month of Atsuko Ono (Ono Atsuko Onee-san), who graduated in March 2022.
The lyrics were written by Aritarou and Takanori Mizoguchi, and the music was composed by Taro Masuda.
This is a very gentle song that encourages young children who find it hard to sing out confidently.
Since the “la la la” in the title is repeated many times, even children who can only sing quietly at first will likely find themselves singing louder before they know it.
Try singing it together with lots of energy!
mugya mugyaHanada Yuuichirou, Ono Atsuko36rank/position
The song title uses a uniquely expressive phrase, “Mugya Mugya.” It was the Monthly Song for September 2021.
Written and composed by Satoko Shibata, its TV visuals featured a striking animation drawn with simple black lines to match the music.
The word “mugya mugya” probably expresses the feeling of not being able to be straightforward.
I really hope you’ll let children listen to it, as it says, “Yes, that happens,” in a gentle way.
It beautifully sings, from a child’s perspective, about the emotions we all have when we can’t be honest with our feelings.
It’s a wonderful song.
Moku-moku fuyu—nHanada Yuuichirou, Ono Atsuko37rank/position
This is a song that was played as the January 2018 song on NHK Educational TV’s “Okaasan to Issho.” When did you first notice, as a child, that your breath looks white in winter? You might have gotten excited wondering what it was, tried it over and over, or challenged your friends to see how long you could breathe out toward the sky.
Those fun feelings are captured in this song.
Even as an adult, doing it now still gives you that tingling sense of winter, doesn’t it? It might be even more fun to sing it while puffing your breath onto your palms together with your child.
A gentle songHanada Yuuichirou, Ono Atsuko38rank/position
In this song, “gentle songs” refers to encounters that make you feel gentle, or kind words from friends.
It teaches us something very important: if everyone experiences kindness, the whole world will be filled with gentle songs.
Lina the OcarinaHanada Yuuichirou, Ono Atsuko39rank/position
Lina is a slightly quirky bird shaped a bit like an ocarina who loves to sing.
In the intro, you can hear a melody played on the ocarina.
It’s a song about Lina joyfully singing as she flies through the sky—just listening to it will lift your spirits.
Devil, Be Shocked, Do Your Best!Hanada Yuuichirou, Ono Atsuko40rank/position
In this song, the real “big brother and sister from the kids’ show” turn into devils and sing.
At first it feels like, “Uh-oh, is a scary song about to start?” but it’s actually a very cute song about bats.
They get feared because of their cries, but bats like to take naps during the day and keep watch at night.
Please don’t be scared of them.
