Yokai ShiritoriYokoyama Daisuke / Mitani Takumi3rank/position

Yokai Word Chain / With Mother

A yokai song you can play during little breaks at summer events: it’s called “Yokai Shiritori.” This version of shiritori has a slightly eerie atmosphere compared to the ordinary game.

Yokai who have gathered at the yokai professor’s place suggest playing shiritori using yokai names, starting from their own names.

Any yokai who accidentally says a name that ends with “n” sulks and heads home.

So many different yokai names appear that when an unfamiliar one comes up, you can’t help but get excited wondering, “What kind of yokai is this?” We also recommend using this song as a starting point to play shiritori with yokai names that don’t appear in the lyrics!

Go by Shinkansen! Go, go!Yokoyama Daisuke / Mitani Takumi7rank/position

Go by Shinkansen! Go, go! (with lyrics) Okaasan to Issho NHK E-Tele Kids Channel Fuwafuwa

If your child loves trains—and especially the Shinkansen—this is a sure-fire song to recommend! The Shinkansen is so cool, isn’t it? Its sleek look and incredible speed.

A lot of kids, especially boys, really get into it, don’t they? Thanks to the racing, fast-paced feel of the music, you can truly feel like you’re riding the Shinkansen.

What kind of towns lie beyond these tracks, and what scenery spreads out there? Be sure to imagine it together as a parent and child.
