Song of the Railroad CrossingSuzukawa Ayako

Fumikiri no Uta / Ayako Suzukawa [Song] The Song of the Railroad Crossing

It’s a song that sings about the unique features of railroad crossings in various places.

Just by listening to the music, you’ll feel as if you’ve traveled across the country.

It also sparks your imagination, making you think, “So there are crossings like this, too.” Children love vehicles, but many may not yet know about railroad crossings, so this song is a good opportunity to teach them.

It might also be good to explain at the same time that crossings help protect our safety.

For children who already know about crossings, it will be fun to learn about unfamiliar ones from all over the country.

Monorail SongYamano Satoko

Monorail Song

This is a song titled “Monorail no Uta,” with lyrics by Akira Ito and music by Asei Kobayashi.

Depending on where you live, you might not get many chances to ride a monorail, so some people may not know how it differs from trains or the Shinkansen.

If that’s the case, give this song a listen.

It sings about what’s good and convenient about monorails.

The lyrics are written from the monorail’s point of view, too, expressing feelings as if it’s competing with other vehicles—which is kind of adorable.

Here it comes! Here it comes! The limited express!madobana sanae

Open! Ponkikki: Sanae Madohana “Here it comes! Here it comes! Limited Express”

It’s a song that played on “Hirake! Ponkikki,” which started after the children’s TV show “Ponkikkies.” Some of you might have heard it when you were little.

Many different trains appear in the lyrics, and if your child loves express trains, they’ll be absolutely thrilled—it’s full of them! The lyrics are easy for small children to remember, and the tune is a catchy pop style, so it might be great for kids who want to learn lots of train names.

[Children’s Song Dance] The Choo-Choo Train ♪

The Japanese children’s song “Kisha Poppo,” loved by everyone for generations.

It was apparently first released on record in 1937 under the title “Soldiers’ Train.” The lyrics are wonderfully peaceful and packed with onomatopoeia.

For children, it’s a fun song that just makes you want to imitate it.

The image of a locomotive charging ahead overlaps beautifully with children moving straight toward a hopeful future.

It’s a heartwarming train song.
