Konya Konnyaku, sung by a man and a woman (from Okaasan to Issho)

It’s a song themed around konnyaku, and it’s fun because it features lots of onomatopoeia like ‘kunya-kunya’ and ‘gunya-gunya’! If you tell the children to freeze at the shout of ‘Stop!!’ in the middle of the song, it can also turn into a fun game to play!

“Ie Yei!!” Choreography Movie

It’s a very upbeat, cheerful song with occasional “Yay!” call-and-responses.

It’s a song about homes: while different creatures have different kinds of homes, in the end your own home makes you feel the biggest “Yay!”, and the home itself hopes to be the place where everyone feels the biggest “Yay!”
