Creepy-Crawly Sports DayHanada Yuuichirou, Ono Atsuko

It’s a cheerful song with the themes of an aquarium and a sports day.

Jellyfish, dolphins, penguins, and more make appearances, and listening to it makes you want to visit an aquarium.

If your child loves creatures that live in the sea or rivers, this will be right up their alley.

They might even be imagining, “What do those animals usually do all day?” Maybe, just like in this song, they’re holding a sports day…? It tickles the intellect, brings smiles, and is a fun song from Okaasan to Issho.

What kind of bread is it, though?!Hanada Yuuichirou, Ono Atsuko

The Monthly Song for October 2020, “Even If It’s Bread, Which Bread Am I?” It’s a song whose lyrics are made up of kids’ favorite riddles, and you sing your answers to questions like, “Even if it’s bread, which bread that’s ○○ is it?” Children who like riddles will enjoy it, and for kids who don’t know riddles yet, it’s a great chance to try them out.

There’s a thinking time, so it really livens up if you add dancing or clap along together.

After the thinking time, let’s all shout out the answer!

One, two, three!Hanada Yuuichirou, Ono Atsuko

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.

"Shadow Is My Friend ~ The Silhouette Professor's Song" from Okaasan to Issho (Full Cover)
Shadow Is My Friend: The Song of the Silhouette ProfessorHanada Yuuichirou

A segment where you look at a shadow and guess what shape it is: “Silhouette Doctor.” This is the theme song sung by Yuichiro Hanada-oniisan, who plays the role of the Silhouette Doctor in this segment.

It’s a cool, jazz-style tune that suits the Silhouette Doctor perfectly—he’s dressed like a phantom thief, with a silk hat, glasses, and a cape.

We can’t always give it our all, can we? Even when we’re doing our best—wanting to try this, wanting to get good at that—there are times when we end up exhausted, things don’t go well, and nothing seems to work.

It’s okay to have things you’re not good at, and it’s okay to have things you can’t do.

“Yeah, That’s Okay” is a song that tells you just that: it’s fine as you are.

Even if you can’t push yourself today, even if you can’t do this or that, it gently sings, “It’s okay, it’s all right.” It’s a warm, comforting number that stays by your side, saying, “Let’s feel better and try again,” so let’s sing and dance to it with a smile.
