The bell rings.Hanada Yuuichirou, Ono Atsuko1rank/position
This is a song that was used as the ending theme starting in 2017.
It’s also memorable that the ending changed to this song during the broadcast of “Garapiko-pu.” It’s nice that the flow continues where the characters signal the end by passing through a tunnel they created.
The powerful rhythm that evokes a marching tune and the lyrics that depict making more friends are highlights that lift your spirits.
The development that expresses the bell sound—the song’s title—also conveys a bright atmosphere, sharing the sense of unity and fun in the moment.

This song, whose lyrics capture a bursting smile, features a bright melody that resonates in the heart.
It’s performed on NHK’s popular program “Okaasan to Issho,” so it’s well known among children.
The harmony between Yuuichirou Hanada and Atsuko Ono is wonderful, and just listening to it gives you energy.
It carries the message that even when you feel sad, you’ll be okay if you think of your friends, so I believe it’s a song that can stay close to children’s hearts.
It’s perfect for recitals and events, and it’s also a song you can sing and dance to in everyday childcare settings!
Your ColorHanada Yuuichirou, Ono Atsuko3rank/position
The song “Kimi-Iro,” which aired on Okaasan to Issho in February 2020, is themed around the word “color,” using many colors as a metaphor for each person’s individuality.
It has a very cheerful tone—fun to listen to and excitement-inducing.
And of course, since the lyrics feature many colors, it’s sure to lift children’s spirits as well.
Just like the title suggests, it would be wonderful if this song helps you discover your own “Kimi-Iro”—your special color!
Song of CourageOno Atsuko4rank/position
A wonderful song that harmonizes gentleness and strength has been born as the theme for the film.
Atsuko Ono’s warm voice accompanies the anxieties of taking a first step and gives you courage.
Centered on themes of the bonds with friends and the importance of believing in yourself, the work delivers a heartwarming message.
Written specifically for a film releasing in March 2025, it blends beautifully with the story.
Ono also takes on her first voice-acting role in the movie, showcasing a new side of her in addition to her singing.
It’s a piece you can enjoy as a parent and child, and one that’s perfect for activities at nursery and kindergarten, as well as singing and dancing together at home.
It gently supports children’s hearts and encourages their new steps—an utterly charming song.
Watch the CarnivalYokoyama Daisuke / Ono Atsuko5rank/position
Let me introduce “Miteté Carnival,” a song that’s so fun it lifts your spirits just by listening! It aired in June 2024 on NHK’s “Okaasan to Issho.” The lyrics and music are by Takumi Murata, who is also the leader of the rock band “Carnavacation.” He creates music that fuses Brazilian sounds with pop, and he works on many songs for children as well.
For example, he wrote the September 2023 monthly song “Ninjin Engine Rocket” and the exercise song “Kao Taisou.” Through his music, Murata hopes to make the world as joyful as a carnival.
Be sure to sing along with your kids and make every day a little more fun!
One step, two steps, a walkHanada Yuuichirou, Ono Atsuko6rank/position
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.
Mirai KurukuruHanada Yuuichirou, Ono Atsuko7rank/position
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!
