It’s a song about how the moon is invisible at noon and the sun is invisible at night, but “even if you can’t see them, they’re always there.” At the end of the lyrics, the moon and the sun turn into friends.

It makes you happy to think that friends are always by your side, doesn’t it?

Crazy About Space / With Mother (Covered by UtaSta)

Uchuu ni Muchuu (Crazy About Space) aired in April 2020.

I think many children are interested in astronomy and outer space.

And this song may be just the spark that makes them want to learn more and more about space—truly a chance to become “crazy about space.” The phrase like “Mercury, Venus, Earth, Mars, Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, Neptune,” which sounds like a magic passphrase to those who don’t know it, is really fun.

There’s still so much we don’t know about the universe—how wonderful it would be if future astronomers and astronauts were inspired by this song!

This song, themed around space, features a memorable wordplay that lines up the names of planets children explore and the colors of the rainbow in order.

It was broadcast with vocals by Yuichiro Hanada and Atsuko Ono as the “Song of the Month” for April 2020 on NHK E-TV’s Okaasan to Issho.

Created by Yujin Kitagawa of Yuzu, the piece is designed to naturally nurture children’s interest in nature and the universe.

It encourages kids to explore the world with a spirit of adventure and enjoy it with rich imagination.

The track is included on the album “Saishin Best: Uchuu ni Muchuu,” and is characterized by an upbeat, bright tempo that’s perfect for parachute (para-balloon) performances.

With lyrics that spark children’s curiosity and simple, easy-to-remember choreography, it’s ideal for group performances at sports days and school recitals.

The monthly song for November and December 2003, “Sushi Picnic.” This song is a classic that’s been sung for many years and is popular in early childhood settings.

The main character is the rice of the sushi, which gives piggyback rides to various toppings and takes them on a picnic.

When we think of sushi, our eyes tend to go to the colorful toppings, but it’s thanks to the rice that we can really enjoy them.

The rice is the true star! Listening to this song makes you feel that way.

With lyrics that read like a picture book, it’s sure to captivate children.

It’s the perfect song for a morning when a fun day is about to begin! The lyrics include the “good morning!” calls of various animals, so if Dad or Mom calls out the animal names, kids will likely get into it and imitate the animal sounds with excitement! It’s also recommended for kids who aren’t morning people!
