Boo! Ska Party!Yuichiro Hanada, Atsuko Ono

Boo! Ska Party! / August 2020 Monthly Song from “Okaasan to Issho.” A current nursery school teacher takes on nine roles solo!

The August 2020 Tsuki no Uta “Boo! Suka Party!” It’s an upbeat dance song that brightens your mood just by listening.

The song features all kinds of animals and creatures—pigs, monkeys, cows, crocodiles, and more.

It seems like everyone is gathering at the pig’s house for a party.

It would be adorable for performances at preschools, and playing it as background music at a birthday party would make for a happy time! The choreography is fast and a bit tricky, but even little kids can have fun with the call-and-response parts.

Shake Shake Genki!Daisuke Yokoyama / Atsuko Ono

Shake, Shake, I’m fine! Lyrics by Saito Inko, music by Aozora Sky

It’s a lively, energetic song that’s very typical of “Okaasan to Issho.” The dance where you swing your arms to the “Shake, shake!!” vocals is really cute.

If you play it for a fussy child, it might cheer them up and get them dancing happily.

Kitchen Orchestra (covered by UtaSuta) / NHK E-Tele, Okaasan to Issho [Osamu Sakata]

“Was the kitchen an orchestra of delightful sounds!?” The cutting board goes “ton ton ton,” the pot goes “gutsu-gutsu” (simmer-simmer), the frying pan goes “ju-ju” (sizzle), and unbelievably, the pot lid transforms into a cymbal—what a surprise! It’s a very fun song.

It will be sunny tomorrow.Lyrics and Music: Osamu Sakata

♪ Ashita wa Hareru (Daisuke Yokoyama × BonBon Academy Collaboration) When you're sad and feel like crying, I want you to remember us ~ ♪ [♪ Original Song]

A moving song from NHK’s “Okaasan to Issho,” gently singing about the importance of friendship and a hopeful future.

Its warm melody and encouraging lyrics carry a message to children who feel lonely and isolated.

First broadcast within the program in March 1999, the piece depicts friends gathering on a green meadow, holding hands and singing together—a song that gives you the courage and energy to face forward.

It’s a heartwarming number you’ll want to hum along to with your family.

Morning Pella!Yuichiro Hanada, Atsuko Ono

[New Song] Asa-pera! / Okaasan to Issho (Covered by UtaSuta) [November Monthly Song]

Just hearing the title of this track, “AsaPella!”, you might not really know what to make of it.

I’m told “AsaPella” is a coined word combining “asa” (morning) and “a cappella.” With that in mind, when you listen you’ll notice a truly beautiful harmony created solely by human voices.

And since it’s a song themed around the morning, it leaves you feeling fresh and breezy.

It’s definitely a track I hope you’ll play in the morning to kick off your day with a perfect head start.

Let’s hang out!Daisuke Yokoyama / Atsuko Ono

“Let’s Meet Up!” (April 2016 ‘Okaasan to Issho’ Song) – Rough Arrangement

This was Atsuko Ono’s debut “Monthly Song” after she became the 21st Uta no Oneesan in April 2016.

It’s a song about greeting a friend and saying, “Let’s meet again anytime.” During that year’s Family Concert at NHK Hall in Tokyo, Takumi Mitani, the 20th Uta no Oneesan, appeared as a guest and performed this song together with her.

Hikarumirai (Okaasan to Issho) Song: NEUTRINO (with lyrics)
