I looked up at the blue sky and tried singing, playing two roles by myself.

It’s a classic, upbeat tune overflowing with a fresh, breezy feel, and the expansive vocals really stand out! It’s packed with a fun vibe that makes you want to go out somewhere.

It sounds like a song kids would happily sing and dance to as well.

Breakfast March (NHK Okaasan to Issho)

This is a lively, march-style song that teaches children the importance of eating breakfast.

It premiered in October 2008 on NHK Educational TV’s popular program “Okaasan to Issho.” The bright and cheerful vocals by Daisuke Yokoyama and Takumi Mitani express the joy of eating breakfast.

Traditional Japanese breakfast items like plain rice, pickled plums, and takuan appear one after another, with memorable, playful descriptions that make it feel as if the ingredients are marching along.

As a motivational song that parents and children can sing together during the busy morning hours, it has been loved by many families.

It’s a recommended track for parents with young children, helping to build a habit of enjoying breakfast.

May tomorrow be sunny! (From 'Okaasan to Issho')

It’s the song that has been used as the ending theme for “Okaasan to Issho” since the 2009 puppet show Monoran Monoran began.

Although the ending song often changed when the puppet show was renewed, this song continued to be used across three generations—after Monoran Monoran, through Pokottoite and Garapiko Puu—until March 2017.
