We’d like to introduce songs from the anime “Hanakappa,” based on picture books by Tadashi Akiyama.
Hanakappa tells the everyday stories of the Hanakappa family—a family of kappa who have flowers blooming on their heads instead of dishes—and their friends.
The fun, everyday adventures of Hanakappa and friends are hugely popular with children.
In this article, we’ve gathered Hanakappa songs that capture children’s hearts alongside the story.
They’re all happy, fun tracks that make your body start moving just by listening.

Hanakappa Songs: Anime Theme and Insert Songs. Opening and Ending Track List (1–10)
The Same FeelingTokyo Girls' Style
The girls’ dance and vocal group Tokyo Girls’ Style sings the first season’s ending theme, “Onnaji Kimochi.” The lyrics, which express feelings for someone dearly loved—“I like you,” “I want to be with you forever”—convey a pure, heartfelt emotion.
It’s a song that will put you in a very gentle mood.
Since it’s a relatively slow-tempo track, try copying Tokyo Girls’ Style’s dance moves too.
Shuwa Pika☆ToothbrushingHanakappa
The ending theme from Seasons 5 to 10, “Shuwapika☆Hamigaki,” is a song centered on toothbrushing, just like its title suggests.
Even kids who don’t like brushing their teeth might enjoy doing it while singing along.
It’s a rhythmic and fun tune, making it easy to brush in time with the music!
SmileMoka Kamishiraishi
Opening theme for Seasons 6–9: “S.M.I.L.E.” Among Hanakappa’s opening themes, it’s unusual in that it was used for three consecutive seasons.
As the title suggests, this song also carries the message: when you wake up in the morning, start your day with a smile.
It’s a bright, uplifting happy song.
Magic of SmilesYuiko Ohara
Egao no Mahou by Yuiko Ohara was the opening theme for season 10 of the anime Hanakappa in 2019.
It’s a fresh, cheerful, and cute track that’s great for kids.
In addition to the regular music video, there’s also a dance version, so you can enjoy dancing along with Hanakappa.
If you love both Hanakappa and dancing, definitely give it a listen!
ColorfulMy Little Lover
It’s the first season opening theme, ‘Colorful.
‘ My Little Lover tends to have a strong pop image, but it turns out they also sang theme songs for children’s shows.
True to its title, the song conveys that this world is fun precisely because it’s filled with characters of many different personalities.
It seems to carry a message to children: it’s okay to be yourself.
Toma-totto...? Chili pepper—Vegetable Shiritori—Shinji Kakijima / Hanakappa (Rie Nakagawa), Momokappa (Rumi Shishido)
This is the ending theme for seasons 6 through 10, “Tomatotto.
.
.
? Togarashi ~Vegetable Shiritori~.” It’s a unique song that plays shiritori using vegetable names, so try singing it together with kids who don’t like vegetables.
It might be a bit of a sneaky tactic to make them say they like vegetables at the end of the song and then get them to eat them, but maybe they’ll find them tastier than usual!
PAN-PAKA-PAN！SUPER☆GiRLS
The Season 4 opening theme is “PAN-PAKA-PAN!” Even from the title, you can already feel a happy vibe.
It’s a song that fills you with courage, with heartfelt thanks to parents, friends, and teachers, and a bright message that says, “If we’re together with our friends, we can go anywhere!” The track was performed in rotation by units from iDOL Street, including SUPER☆GiRLS.
