[Baby Stops Crying] What Color Do You Like? / Together with Mother (Covered by UtaSuta) [Crayon/Colors/Memorization Song]

Countless people must have sung this song when they were little.

Every time you use crayons, colored pencils, or paints, it pops into your head, doesn’t it? You start with your favorite colors, so those are the ones that run out first… It’s a children’s song that makes drawing even more fun.

In fact, this song was written by Osamu Sakata, who served as the seventh “Uta no Onii-san” starting in 1985.

It’s a fitting story for Mr.

Sakata, who originally made his mark as a band musician and singer.

Perfect for your drawing time with the kids!
