A must-see for all ages, from kids to adults! Yuichiro Hanada and Atsuko Ono’s popular songs (31–40)
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.
