Christmas with everyoneSakata Osamu, Kanzaki Yūko8rank/position

This is a Christmas song from NHK’s “Okaasan to Issho.” The song begins with the idea that there are children who might not receive presents, but it carries a gentle wish: “Santa, please visit everyone.” Let’s all have a joyful Christmas together!
Panda, rabbit, koalaSakata Osamu, Kanzaki Yūko9rank/position

How about “Panda, Bunny, Koala,” a hand-play song that became widely popular thanks to NHK’s educational program Okaasan to Issho? The song is known for having lyrics by Hiroo Takada, and it’s fun because you imitate the movements of the panda, bunny, and koala that appear in the lyrics.
Its appeal also lies in the built-in variety and game-like elements, such as the tempo gradually getting faster.
You might enjoy it even more if you add brief explanations between sections of the song—for example, “Let’s line them up and try it.”
Ho! Ho! Ho!Sakata Osamu, Kanzaki Yūko10rank/position

This is a classic song that has been covered every time the male and female lead singers change, and it has continued to be sung on the program.
According to composer Wakako Fukuda, who passed away suddenly in 2008, this song is often used for auditions for the female lead singer.
In other words, it’s like a gateway piece for the role.
It’s clearly cherished very much.

One starSakata Osamu, Kanzaki Yūko11rank/position

Countless stars traveling across the night sky.
It’s a song that gently whispers, “On the day you were born, one more star was added.” Thinking that the number of stars in the sky matches how dearly we love our child fills the heart with such tenderness.

We recommend “What Color Do You Like?” for kids who love drawing.
Its cute lyrics capture a classic kid moment: their favorite crayon always gets used up faster than the others.
Which color crayon disappears the quickest for your child? Try singing along while drawing, and feel free to change the lyrics to match your child’s favorite color.
