Bunbun Rainbow Car / Okaasan to Issho January Monthly Song / ~covered by UtaSta~

“Bunbun Niji-iro Car” was released as the song for January 2022.

The lyrics are by Kanako Suzuki, and the music is by Tetsuro Oda.

Set to an upbeat, catchy rhythm, this song takes you to all sorts of places by car.

You’ll even meet creatures that are a little scary but make your heart race! Wouldn’t you love to ride in such a mysterious and wonderful car and go exploring at least once? It’s perfect as background music for a family drive, and it also works great for preschool recitals or as a dance tune!

Boo! Ska Party!Hanada Yuuichirou, Ono Atsuko44rank/position

Boo! Ska Party! / August 2020 Monthly Song from “Okaasan to Issho.” A current nursery school teacher takes on nine roles solo!

The August 2020 Tsuki no Uta “Boo! Suka Party!” It’s an upbeat dance song that brightens your mood just by listening.

The song features all kinds of animals and creatures—pigs, monkeys, cows, crocodiles, and more.

It seems like everyone is gathering at the pig’s house for a party.

It would be adorable for performances at preschools, and playing it as background music at a birthday party would make for a happy time! The choreography is fast and a bit tricky, but even little kids can have fun with the call-and-response parts.

Mirai KuruKuru – With Mother (Okaasan to Issho), April 2019 Song

The April 2019 “Song of the Month,” Mirai Kurukuru.

It’s sung by Yuichiro Hanada and Atsuko Ono.

It’s a dance song with an unusually rock-like sound for a children’s song! In fact, the choreography even includes a move where you strum an imaginary guitar.

It’s a bit hard for little kids, but for older preschoolers it’s a fun track they can imitate and dance to.

It would probably hype up a karaoke session, too.

The lyrics are so positive that if you listen when you’re feeling down, your worries might just blow away!

One, two, three!Hanada Yuuichirou, Ono Atsuko46rank/position

One, Two, Three! / Together with Mother (Covered by UtaSuta) [The big sister dances!]

This is the July 2019 song “One-Two-Three!” The composer is Osamu Sakata, who served as the 7th “Uta no Onii-san” on Okaasan to Issho, and the lyricist is his daughter, Megumi Sakata, who is also a children’s song singer—making it a parent–child collaboration.

It’s also a message song that serves as a cheer for children: capturing animals as they hop and leap, and encouraging everyone to do their best and jump together.

Boyoyon MarchHanada Yuuichirou, Ono Atsuko47rank/position

Big Gathering: “Boyoyon March” Together with the Brother, the Sister, and Keizo Nakanishi

This is a choral song written and composed by singer-songwriter Keizo Nakanishi that makes everyone smile and feel energized.

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 a message that everyone has a powerful spring under their feet, and even when times are tough, you can trust that spring to help you leap over obstacles and keep moving forward.

Though the tune is upbeat, it also brings a touching, tear-jerking sense of emotion.

It’s highly recommended for recitals and kindergarten graduation ceremonies!

Yokai ShiritoriHanada Yuuichirou, Ono Atsuko48rank/position

Yokai Shiritori [cover] - With Mother (Okaasan to Issho)

Many children (especially boys) love yokai, don’t they? In this song, amazingly, all the yokai names appear as a shiritori chain! You might even hear some yokai names for the first time.

Now then, which yokai ends with the “n” sound? Enjoy listening together with your child.
