Hanakappa ParadiseEriko Imai
Hanakappa Paradise is the song by Eriko Imai, formerly of SPEED, that became the ending theme for season 3 of Hanakappa.
It was released in 2012 as a single CD together with Hanakappa Parade, which aired as the opening theme during the same period.
The lyrics—encouraging kids to dance and smile even after crying or feeling down—convey a message that’s just right for children.
The Flower I Make BloomMiho Shinogaya
The 2015 opening theme for Hanakappa is “Boku ga Sakaseru Hana” by Miho Shinogaya, who is also active on stage and in other performances.
In fact, she has experience as the singing “big sister” in the Shimajiro Concerts, so some of you may have heard her without realizing it.
It’s a song that evokes a fun, hopeful future for Hanakappa, who still hasn’t decided which flower to bloom on his head.
Hanaka ParadeEriko Imai
In the latter half of the 2012 broadcast year, during the third season of Hanakappa, the opening theme was this song, Hanakappa Parade.
The vocals were performed by Eriko Imai, also known for her work with SPEED.
As a mother, she delivers a happy song that lifts children’s spirits, making it a track that puts listeners in a joyful mood.
specialhitomi
In the second season of Hanakappa, which aired in 2011, the song “Special” was used as the opening theme throughout the entire year.
The singer is hitomi, who had many hits in the ’90s as a member of the Komuro Family.
I bet many moms got excited hearing her voice again.
Incidentally, she also sang the ending theme “Guru☆Maze Yeah!!” during the same period.
Spring, Summer, Autumn, WinterHanakappa
“Spring, Summer, Fall, Winter” is a chant-like song that’s sung when Hanakappa makes the flower on his head bloom.
With easy-to-remember lyrics and a fun, cheerful tune, it’s hugely popular with little kids.
Many parents and children probably copy the moves and dance along, right? The cute choreography makes it fun no matter how many times you sing it!
LienEvery Little Thing
Every Little Thing performed the theme song for Hanakappa’s first film, released in 2013, titled “Hanakappa the Movie: Blooming! Paka—n♪ The Great Adventure in the Butterfly Kingdom.” “Lien” means “bond” in French, making it a perfect fit for the film’s story about family bonds.
By the way, ELT members Kaori Mochida and Ichiro Ito make guest appearances in the movie as “Mocchi” and “Ikkun.”
