Soap bubbles that children love.

The song voices a child’s adorable question: “If I rode on one of those bubbles and flew away, what would the town look like from the sky?” It’s a gentle, unhurried piece with a soft mood, like soap bubbles drifting through the air.

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?

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.

[Okaasan to Issho New Song] Mugya Mugya / Okaasan to Issho Tsukiuta | September 2021 | Covered by UtaSta

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 Fuyuun" Okaasan to Issho (Live-Action Full Cover)
Moku-moku fuyu—nHanada Yuuichirou, Ono Atsuko

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.

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.

“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!
