Shimajiro Songs: Popular tracks from the anime, movies, and concerts (21–30)
Color Song
The song’s name is “Iro no Uta,” and it features lots of different colors.
It’s sung by Michiko Shimizu, who’s active as an impressionist and actress.
The song is performed packed with Shimizu’s impressions, making it very unique.
Kids might not quite know whose impressions they are, but parents might find themselves thinking, “Could it be…?” The lyrics are almost entirely just color names.
It’s amazing how Shimizu sings them in so many variations! By all means, follow her lead and learn the color names while trying out different ways of singing them.
Patissier / Patissiere
“Pâtissier Pâtissière,” a song featured in the music segment of Shimajiro no Wao!, describes what the jobs of a pâtissier and a pâtissière—roles many children admire—are like.
While it portrays the work of making delicious cakes as a lot of fun, it also includes realistic depictions of the challenging aspects, helping listeners learn about the difficulties of the job.
With so many cake names appearing along the way, your stomach might start to rumble.
This song is a must-listen not only for children who dream of becoming pâtissiers or pâtissières, but also for kids who simply love cake.
Rock, paper, scissors with pumpkin
A perfect recommendation for a Halloween party: “Goo-Choki-Pa de Pumpkin.” Its unique lyrics combine rock-paper-scissors (goo, choki, pa) with pumpkins, delighting children.
Because it also works as a kind of wordplay, both the lyrics and the coordinated dance are easy to learn.
The tempo is on the faster side, but the song’s quirky charm makes up for it, so kids can quickly pick it up and sing and dance along! And don’t forget to wear your Halloween costume when you dance!
I am a jellyfish.
It’s a song brimming with a curious charm, like jellyfish drifting in the sea.
The video, set in a bustling fishing port lively with fishermen, features a woman dressed as a jellyfish—Mao Otani—floating and dancing.
It’s a touch nonsensical, yet somehow stylish.
The sound, infused with bossa nova flavors and a tropical vibe, is irresistible.
The lyrics—cheekily shrugging, “well, it’s only natural, since I’m a jellyfish”—are unique, and the gentle message that even parenting doesn’t have to be overdone might let adults loosen up a bit and feel at ease.
It’s the kind of number that brings a small sigh of relief.
Hand in hand
It’s the kind of classic Shimajiro song that everyone can dance and sing along to.
With a poppy, catchy melody, upbeat lyrics that put a smile on your face, and a lively, danceable sound, it feels like anyone who listens will get an energy boost.
Everyday life while raising kids can be tough, with arguments, getting angry, or feeling down.
In times like that, listening to a song like this might be a good idea.
It’ll surely bring smiles back to both parents and kids and lift your spirits!
Song of the Whale
The song Kujira no Uta, featured as an insert song in the film Shimajiro and the Song of the Whale, is performed by actress Sayo Kubota, who appears as the Sea Fairy, and actor Naoto Nojima, who appears as the Crown-of-Thorns Starfish Man.
The lyrics say that singing can lift your spirits no matter when.
It’s a tune that makes you want to sing out freely with your friends—and with Mom and Dad, too.
As you listen and sing along, you’ll start to feel like meeting a whale just like the ones that appear in the movie! Try singing it while picturing the beautiful ocean where whales live.
Miclock
“Microck,” the opening song for the music segment of the TV show Shimajiro no Wao!.
It’s an uplifting number with the theme of mustering your courage and setting off on an adventure into the microscopic world.
The video zooms in on the micro realm—from inchworms and pill bugs to cherry blossoms and even water fleas—making it especially recommended for children who love living creatures.
Delivering the rhythmic track with cool flair is Charan-Po-Rantan, a sister music duo known for their unique worldview.
The accordion sound that livens up the light, upbeat arrangement is wonderful, too!
