[Song] Medaka no Gakkō (The Medaka School) <Medaka no gakkō wa~♪> with Lyrics | Elementary School | Japanese Songs | Nursery Rhyme | Children’s Song | Songs Babies Love | Kids | Japanese Children’s Song | Gakken Kids TV

“Medaka no Gakkō” (The Minnows’ School), which is also selected for the “100 Best Japanese Songs,” is a tune that has been cherished for generations, so many people—from children to adults—know it.

Though it’s set in the world of minnows, I think it’s a fun song that helps you imagine what a school is like.

New first graders often feel anxious about what elementary school is like and how it differs from daycare or kindergarten.

In times like that, why not ease those feelings with this cheerful song? It might be nice for current students and new students to sing it together at the entrance ceremony.
