Its lyrics weave together the mixed emotions of parting—loneliness, anxiety, and hope—giving children courage.
At this major milestone of graduation, the gentle melody softly nudges children stepping into a new world, powerfully supporting their first steps toward the future.
When graduation comes, let this song help you make a fresh start at heart.
I wish it were so.Sakushi: Ide Takao / Sakkyoku: Fukuda Wakako
The song “Sou dattara ii no ni na,” which sings about all kinds of dreams like “I wish it were like this” and “I wish it were like that,” has lyrics imagining how fun it would be if your house were like that, if it were Christmas all the time, or if you knew a wizard.
Just like this song, there are surely many children with delightful dreams.
It’s wonderful to make time to sing while imagining your own dreams.
Add some choreography to match the lyrics and try singing it at recitals or during everyday activities!
I want to scribble on the sky.sakushi: Yamagami Michio / sakkyoku: Izumi Taku
Let us introduce a dream-filled children’s song that’s perfect for the season when May’s fresh greenery sparkles.
Created by Michio Yamagami (lyrics) and Taku Izumi (music), this piece is a delightful song that nurtures children’s rich imagination.
With lyrics brimming with free-spirited dreams—like a big apple tree, a bulldog, and a long bridge—paired with a light, cheerful melody, it’s truly charming.
It’s included on the albums “Kodomo no Uta: Paku Paku Itadakimasu!” and “Ukiuki Wakuwaku! Kodomo no Uta,” and is also used as teaching material in kindergartens and nursery schools.
It’s a wonderful song to enjoy the joys of spring—whether you sing it while looking up at the sky on a walk, or sing along with friends while drawing pictures.
I wanna draw doodles in the sky.Sakushi: Yamashita Michio / Sakkyoku: Izumi Taku
“I Want to Doodle on the Sky” is a song that expresses the desire to draw on the vast, ever-expanding sky.
The music was composed by Taku Izumi, known for creating the familiar children’s song “Te no Hira o Taiyō ni,” and the lyrics were written by Michio Yamagami, who has penned numerous songs.
The lyrics describe wanting to draw things like so much food that it would startle the birds, slightly scary animals, and train tracks that could travel around the world.
Try singing it while imagining what kind of picture you would draw yourself.
Loss and LiesKurahashi Yoeko
When you listen to it casually, it hardly sounds like a depressing song.
But once you look at the lyrics… it all makes sense.
Wanting to be loved by the one you love is something everyone feels in romance.
However, the woman in this song doesn’t care how little he pays attention to her; even if he insults her, she just wants to be by his side.
She’s satisfied even with words of love that lack truth—that’s how deep her feelings are.
It’s a love song for women so in love they can’t stop themselves, no matter what.
GraduationKurasawa Atsumi
A song that chronicles an unrequited love from youth, “Sotsugyo” (Graduation).
It’s Junmi Kurasawa’s fourth single, released in 1985.
At first, it sounds like a breakup song, yet the strangely bright sound felt puzzling.
But when you get to the end of the lyrics, the reason becomes clear: at graduation, they discover their feelings are mutual.
If you listen to it during graduation season, you might just find yourself tempted to check the desk of the person you like (lol).
With such a happy ending, graduation doesn’t seem so bad.
