Shimajiro Songs: Popular Tracks from the Anime, Movies, and Concerts (31–40)
HERO
HERO, sung by the hugely popular idol group Momoiro Clover Z under the name Momoclo-chan Z.
This song was chosen as the theme for the Shimajiro movie “Shimajiro and Ururu’s Hero Land,” in which the members of Momoclo also appeared as voice actors.
The lyrics express a desire to become a hero who can help others and bring smiles to their faces.
While Momoclo often performs intense dance tracks, this song features simple and cute choreography that’s easy for children to dance to.
Become Momoclo-chan Z with your friends and give the dance a try!
I love squid ~Beloved Squid~
A lavish track featuring the grand dame of the enka world, Aki Yashiro, as a vocalist.
It’s brimming with the uniquely Japanese culture and the intimate, melancholic atmosphere of enka—simply irresistible.
We often hear that it’s important to be exposed to the real thing from childhood, and the same goes for music: enjoying playful, quirky lyrics while also encountering authentic singing and composition can nurture one’s listening skills.
With visuals and lyrics that cheekily riff on the squid—one of the sake snacks mentioned in the lyrics of her signature song “Funauta”—this is a tune that adults can enjoy too.
Song of Shadows
Kage no Uta, a song about the shadow that’s always by your side.
Shadows are such mysterious things—on sunny days, they follow you wherever you go.
No matter how you run or dance, they move just the same; their size changes with time and place, and many children have probably wondered, “What are you?” In a way, shadows feel like friends who stay close by, and this song carries that warm, homely, and gentle moment.
Try singing it as you chase your own shadow.
Traffic safety—OK! (Yeah!)
Comedian Yoshio Kojima makes a guest appearance.
Even Mr.
Kojima, as you’d expect, can’t just say “That doesn’t matter!” when crossing the crosswalk (lol).
During the instrumental break of this song with its pleasant, lively rhythm, there’s a perfect safety reminder delivered in Kojima’s clear, well-articulated voice.
On top of that, Shimajiro does the dance from Kojima’s routine! It’s incredibly cute.
A green light means “you may proceed,” so don’t dash out right away—look around first before you move.
Sizzling Summer Activity Committee
It’s a poppy, fresh number that bursts with youthful energy.
You can feel the message of living hot and powerfully through the scorching summer.
The band sound, as if played by teenagers, has an irresistible ring that brings back memories of youth.
The lyrics mention summer delights like the ocean and shaved ice, so kids will probably feel excited when they listen.
Don’t let the heat beat you—sing and dance with joy and full-on energy!

The donut next door
It’s a fun song with a theme that parodies the proverb “The grass is greener on the other side,” rendered as “Even though they’re the same donuts, the donut next door looks tastier.” In the video, the cat characters played by girls styled like an idol group are adorable, and the chic choreography is sure to captivate kids.
With a highly polished sound that blends elements of rap and rock, it’s aimed at children but is the kind of track that adults can genuinely enjoy as well.
Bone Bone March
The song “Hone Hone March” teaches you all about the bones that everyone has in their body.
The reason we can stand and sit normally and play energetically is all thanks to our bones.
Without bones, we wouldn’t be able to stand properly, nor could we protect the important internal organs inside our bodies.
The lyrics explain the role and importance of bones.
Sung energetically to a marching rhythm, it helps you learn about bones without feeling it’s difficult.
We don’t usually think about our bones, so be sure to learn about them through this song!
