Devil, Be Shocked, Do Your Best!Yuichiro Hanada, Atsuko Ono

In this song, the real “big brother and sister from the kids’ show” turn into devils and sing.
At first it feels like, “Uh-oh, is a scary song about to start?” but it’s actually a very cute song about bats.
They get feared because of their cries, but bats like to take naps during the day and keep watch at night.
Please don’t be scared of them.
Lou the SnowmanDaisuke Yokoyama / Takumi Mitani

This is the monthly song for January 2015.
Lyrics by Yuko Onari, music by Masami Kurihara.
It was the first collaboration project between “Minna no Uta” and “Okaasan to Issho.” Two interlinked songs set in the same snowman world were broadcast on each program.
What kind of bread is it, though?!Yuichiro Hanada, Atsuko Ono

The Monthly Song for October 2020, “Even If It’s Bread, Which Bread Am I?” It’s a song whose lyrics are made up of kids’ favorite riddles, and you sing your answers to questions like, “Even if it’s bread, which bread that’s ○○ is it?” Children who like riddles will enjoy it, and for kids who don’t know riddles yet, it’s a great chance to try them out.
There’s a thinking time, so it really livens up if you add dancing or clap along together.
After the thinking time, let’s all shout out the answer!
Let's go home.Daisuke Yokoyama / Takumi Mitani

With this “Let’s Go Home,” I imagine many people may recall a bit of how they felt as small children—the sunset sky, that slightly bittersweet feeling as the day comes to an end… It’s a song that makes you a little sentimental.
