I want to ride a vehicle.Yuichiro Hanada, Maya Nagata
A lively, vehicle-themed song has arrived! Sung by Yuichiro Hanada and Tamaa Nagata, this fun melody features 20 uniquely charming vehicles making their appearances one after another.
Its up-tempo, rhythmic style layered with light, friendly vocals makes it an irresistibly catchy track that will have you swaying along.
The broadcast began in November 2024, and the song is also included in the songbook “Takaromono” as of April 2025.
It’s a piece that children who love vehicles will adore—and parents can enjoy together with them.
Open your imaginations with your child and take flight into the world of all kinds of vehicles!
March here and thereDaisuke Yokoyama / Takumi Mitani
It sings about the childlike spirit brimming with a sense of adventure, going here and there.
It’s a very uplifting song that plays on the NHK program “Okaasan to Issho.” Its march-like choreography is distinctive, and I think parents and children can enjoy moving their bodies together while singing.
The title is literally “March,” so it’s a march, as you’d expect!
Like, you know… and stuff… ohhh, I get it, I get it.Yuichiro Hanada, Atsuko Ono
Released in October 2021, the “Song of the Moon” is titled “Nannan, Tokatoka, Naa-runaru.” It’s a fun title, right? This song, with its mysterious vibe, was written and composed by TOBI, the vocalist of Les Romanesques—a music duo popular in Europe’s club scene and at festivals.
The lyrics are mostly just the words from the title, but their impact is sure to make kids love it.
The dance is slow in tempo yet flashy and amusing, so your children will definitely enjoy dancing to it!
Do! Do! Do! DragonDaisuke Yokoyama / Takumi Mitani
Get pumped and have fun with the rockin’ melody of “Do! Do! Do! Dragon.” A very long-lived, gigantic dragon makes an appearance.
Lots of kids love dragons and dinosaurs, right? If those dragons you only see in anime and movies were suddenly around you, what would you do? As you listen through the song, you might start to feel like dragons could still be out there somewhere.
Doesn’t it make you want to go look for one? It’s the perfect song for curious kids.
Also recommended for kindergarten recitals and performances.
Lingon tōDaisuke Yokoyama / Takumi Mitani
Once you hear it, “Lingontou” is a slightly mysterious melody that sticks in your head forever.
It’s a cute song about apples that children love.
It’s such a fun tune that you’ll want to hum along, singing, “Ringo, ringo♪.”

Moku-moku fuyu—nYuichiro Hanada, Atsuko Ono
This is a song that was played as the January 2018 song on NHK Educational TV’s “Okaasan to Issho.” When did you first notice, as a child, that your breath looks white in winter? You might have gotten excited wondering what it was, tried it over and over, or challenged your friends to see how long you could breathe out toward the sky.
Those fun feelings are captured in this song.
Even as an adult, doing it now still gives you that tingling sense of winter, doesn’t it? It might be even more fun to sing it while puffing your breath onto your palms together with your child.
Yeah, sounds good.Yuichiro Hanada, Maya Nagata
We can’t always give it our all, can we? Even when we’re doing our best—wanting to try this, wanting to get good at that—there are times when we end up exhausted, things don’t go well, and nothing seems to work.
It’s okay to have things you’re not good at, and it’s okay to have things you can’t do.
“Yeah, That’s Okay” is a song that tells you just that: it’s fine as you are.
Even if you can’t push yourself today, even if you can’t do this or that, it gently sings, “It’s okay, it’s all right.” It’s a warm, comforting number that stays by your side, saying, “Let’s feel better and try again,” so let’s sing and dance to it with a smile.
