Toy BluesYokoyama Daisuke / Mitani Takumi41rank/position

Toy Blues

It’s a song that says “Clean up after you’re done playing!” from the toys’ point of view.

If I were a toy, I’d surely feel the same way as in this song.

It might work well if you let kids who struggle with tidying up after playtime listen to it! And at night, please let the toys rest in their toy box, too.

[With Mother] Your Voice | With Lyrics | NHK Songs

“Kimi no Koe,” a song long loved and continually sung on NHK’s Okaasan to Issho, features lyrics that express the love parents want to convey to their children and a gently heartwarming melody, making it a great choice for recitals and graduation ceremonies.

Its message—that both high and low voices are each wonderful, and when they come together they create beautiful harmony—also resonates deeply.

It’s not only about love from parent to child; it also embodies affection and gratitude toward friends, so it would likely be well received at thank-you gatherings as well.

The Song of the Month for June 2012 features lyrics by Mishio Ogawa and music by Takeshi Shibuya.

Jaku-jaku AmanojakuYokoyama Daisuke / Mitani Takumi48rank/position

Jaku-jaku Amanojaku - With Mother (Okaasan to Issho) - April 2014 Song

For some reason, little kids can sometimes be contrary.

I don’t think they themselves care about it, but that kind of behavior can be pretty cute, right? This song also portrays children’s adorable antics.

The phrase “jaku-jaku aman-no-jaku” is fun to say, and it’s something you can sing together with the kids!

Billy the Electric KidYokoyama Daisuke / Mitani Takumi49rank/position

Electric Kid Billy - Singing Man and Woman (from “Okaasan to Issho”/“With Mother”)

In winter, when you take off a knit sweater or touch people or objects, you get that sharp little zap of static electricity.

It’s kind of scary—or at least startling, right? “Billy, the Child of Electricity” is a cute song about that very static.

Not many people actually like static electricity, but when you hear this song and think, “Oh, it’s a mischievous little child of electricity,” it somehow starts to feel a bit endearing, doesn’t it?
