When I'm with youHanada Yuuichirou, Ono Atsuko

September 2020’s “Song of the Month,” ‘Kimi to Issho ni Iru to’ (When I’m With You).

The lyrics and music were written by singer-songwriter Mimori Yusa.

This song has a gentle, lovely melody that may bring to mind your friends and loved ones when you listen to it.

It would be moving to sing together at the end of events like preschool graduation thank-you parties.

The song carries the feeling, “I’m happy when you’re here, and it makes me feel stronger.” So listen to it with someone important to you and try saying “thank you.”

As we grow up, we tend to forget the feeling that rain sparkles beautifully and that splashing around is so much fun! For children, wearing rain boots and stepping into puddles is one of the most enjoyable games.

This is a song that captures the cheerful, excited feeling that only a rainy day can bring.

Hug—Professor!Hanada Yuuichirou, Ono Atsuko

Verbal communication is important, and sometimes things are conveyed through physical touch, just like in this song! It’s a song about how you can understand your parents’ feelings by giving them a big hug.

It’s true… If you have children, you probably hug them often, right? You can gauge their mood by whether they welcome it or not.

And maybe, at that moment, your child is actually checking how you’re feeling, too.

In any case, physical contact is a chance to deepen closeness! Let’s hug along with the song!

Advance! Sutten Sukk!Hanada Yuuichirou, Ono Atsuko32rank/position

Advance! Sutten Sukk!Hanada Yuuichirou, Ono Atsuko

The May 2020 “Song of the Month,” “Susume! Suttenssukku!” It’s a song that portrays “Suttenssukku,” who keeps moving forward no matter if there are mountains or walls in the way.

Failure is proof that you tried.

It’s far cooler to take on a challenge and fail than to do nothing out of fear of failing.

It’s a song that gives courage to children who are about to experience many things.

I hope they’ll try anything, just like in this song.

The melody has a cool vibe, but it’s also easy for women to sing.

Breeze SneakersHanada Yuuichirou, Ono Atsuko33rank/position

Kids love taking walks.

Once they head out in their favorite sneakers, they never want to go home, right? In this song too, they put on their sneakers and go adventuring under the blue sky to all sorts of places.

It’s the kind of track that makes you want to head out as you listen.

Sora Sora SomenHanada Yuuichirou, Ono Atsuko34rank/position

[Okaasan to Issho June New Song] Sora Sora Somen (NHK E-TV)

Released in June 2021, “Sora Sora Somen” is a fun, striking song with a real impact—especially with the somen noodles dancing around! Sung from the perspective of flowing somen, the lyrics freshly and adorably depict the noodle’s feelings as it’s boiled and eaten cold.

It’s great for dancing with kids, and it sounds fun to sing while cooking somen together.

Plus, since it has a Soran-bushi-style rhythm, dancing to it like Soran-bushi would be super fun too.

Definitely give it a try!

Elephant ImaginationHanada Yuuichirou, Ono Atsuko35rank/position

The song “Zou no Souzou,” which aired in January 2020.

As the title suggests, it’s a lively tune where an elephant expands its imagination and discovers many things.

For children, seeing various things and imagining them can lead to lots of discoveries and growth.

I believe it’s a song that helps young children recognize that they are “using their imagination” with their own minds.

Whether it’s things with form or without, please enjoy letting your imagination expand infinitely!
