The little cowboy has arrived.Sakkyoku: Sakata Hiroo / Sakushi: Arekisu Sakkyoku Tom Tirilin Tom
This song, which depicts a lively cowboy galloping across the vast western plains, was selected in an Italian children’s song contest in 1965 and was given Japanese lyrics by Hiroo Sakata.
It vividly portrays a little cowboy from the cactus-blossoming West riding along on his horse while strumming a banjo.
The repeated “la-la-la” set to a marching rhythm is delightful and makes children naturally want to move their bodies.
It was first broadcast on NHK’s “Minna no Uta” in 1966, and was later sung on “Okaasan to Issho.” In 1991, a single was also released by Ichiro Mizuki.
It’s a perfect children’s song for everyone to sing together with rounds and handclaps, full of energy!
A Little Lovetenchi mari
This is Mari Amachi’s second single, released in February 1972, weaving scenes of first love—pinky promises, Sunday dates, and crimson sunsets.
It reached No.
1 on the Oricon weekly chart, with an estimated 540,000 copies sold and a cumulative total of 900,000.
The lyrics were written by Kazumi Yasui, the music composed by Kōsuke Hamaguchi, and the arrangement by Shunichi Makaino.
A gentle folk-tinged arrangement layered with strings and flute wraps Amachi’s clear, transparent voice in a soft glow of excitement.
It was also included on the album “Chiisana Koi / Hitori Janai no,” released in June of the same year, and this work became her first to top the weekly chart.
A song that quietly stays by the side of anyone nurturing a tender, budding love.

Choujuu Sentai LivemanShima Daisuke
This song was produced as the opening theme for Choujuu Sentai Liveman, which began airing in February 1988.
Set in a scientific academy and depicting a tragic conflict with former comrades, it features bold brass and a driving band sound that embody the series’ world.
Akira Otsu’s powerful lyrics succinctly express the heroic ideals of justice, friendship, and courage, while Yasuo Kosugi’s leaping melody leaves a lasting impression in the chorus.
Daisuke Shima, who played Red Falcon, performs the vocals himself, giving the piece a strong sense of unity between the show and its music.
As the final Super Sentai series of the Showa era, it still enjoys enduring love from many fans.
The single was released by Nippon Columbia in March 1988 and was also included on the album “Choujuu Sentai Liveman Music Collection.”

ChaO!Kōda Kumi
ChaO! is more about the groove than the “singing.” If you really move your body and get into the rhythm as you sing, you’ll find it consistently enjoyable, so if you’re not confident in your pitch, a song like this is a great choice! The chorus uses a lot of notes around the mid–2 range, but if you’re locked into the groove, that range should come out smoothly.
Don’t tense up—let the notes flow comfortably.
At the very end of the song, you might wonder whether to sing the lyrics line or the long-held note; either one sounds cool, so just go with the one you want to sing!
Stars on EarthNakajima Miyuki
The 37th single by Miyuki Nakajima, a singer-songwriter beloved across generations.
Chosen as the theme song for the documentary series “Project X: Challengers,” its powerful lyrics—filled with respect and encouragement for unsung challengers—perfectly align with the show’s worldview.
Sprinkling in keywords like wind and stars, the song shines a light on people who work quietly and steadily, resonating deeply with listeners of all ages.
Although released in July 2000, it became an exceptional long-running hit: after her performance at the 2002 Kohaku Uta Gassen, it reached No.
1 on the Oricon Weekly Chart roughly 130 weeks after its release, and it remains a karaoke staple.
