It’s a very catchy song that sings, “Go outside, take a walk, and find what you love!” The rhythm is perfect for a walking pace, and the bright, uplifting lyrics are great.

It makes you want to hum along while taking a stroll.

This is a bit of an aside, but the track aired as the song of April 2021 and became a hot topic online at the time.

The songwriting credit was listed as Edamame-ns, and rumors spread that it might be an alias of the music group GReeeeN, based on the style, melody, and overall feel of the lyrics.

The November 2020 Song of the Month, “Ageage Donuts.” It’s a track featuring sweet, delicious donuts that kids often request at snack time.

If you’re crying, a donut comes to comfort you; whenever you see something round, it reminds you of donuts—these cute lyrics make donuts feel even more familiar.

Listening to this song will make you crave donuts, so be sure to pick some up before you listen with your child (lol)!

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!

“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!

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!

A gentle ballad that feels very soothing, NHK’s “Okaasan to Issho” Song of May 2024, “Kujira ga Kiiteiru” (The Whale Is Listening), is written and composed by Beautiful Hummingbird.

Beautiful Hummingbird is a duo consisting of vocalist Mitsuko Koike and guitarist Nobuaki Tabata.

With lyrics that depict the way sounds of nature connect—such as “the whale, the frog, and the wind are listening”—and a tender melody, the song gives a sense that everyone is connected.

The animation is by picture-book and animation artist Osamu Sakai, whose warm, picture-book-like visuals further enhance the song’s world.
