@user15821878215964Original song – Hikaru Tamura – Hikaru Tamura

This is a duet sung by Yuzo Imai—the beloved “Uta no Oniisan” from NHK’s Okaasan to Issho—and Shoko Haida.

It was broadcast in March 2008 as the “Song of the Month,” created to coincide with their graduation from the program.

The track is included on the album NHK Okaasan to Issho Song Collection: Yume no Kakera, released in April of the same year, as well as the DVD NHK Okaasan to Issho Latest Songbook: Kimi ni Aeta kara.

The lyrics, which express gratitude for meeting and the poignancy of parting, resonate deeply.

Carried by a gentle melody, the pair’s clear harmonies softly embrace the listener’s heart.

It’s perfect for graduation slideshow presentations and appreciation parties, and many parents and teachers may find themselves moved to tears as they look back on their days with the children.

Shaking Your Bottom / With Mother

This is a song that was played on “Okaasan to Issho” in January 2005.

It features a bright tempo and a fun rhythm, and the repeated, easy-to-understand phrases stick in your head, so it’s great for little kids.

It’s the kind of song that makes you want to sway while holding your child or move your body without thinking, so if adults sway side to side and dance along with the lyrics, your child might join in, copy you, laugh, and get into a great mood!

Dekoboko Friends: “Me and You”

This is a song from the animated segment “Dekoboko Friends,” which aired within the program “Okaasan to Issho.” Many of you may already be familiar with it.

When you discover a different side of someone, you sometimes find yourself thinking, “I really like them.” I hope children won’t be afraid of being different from everyone else.

Children of the Southern IslandsImai Yūzō, Haida Shōko7rank/position

Children of the Southern Islands - Okaasan to Issho ~ Full Live-Action Cover (by Ear)

It’s a very bright melody that even children can easily remember.

It seems to be singing about a southern island.

It touches on “life,” and despite the pop tune, the lyrics are very profound.

It’s a song that teaches children important things while letting them have fun.
