Dreaming Yukkuri-sanHiromichi Sato
A gentle, easy-to-listen-to tune! Let us introduce “Yumemiru Yukkuri-san.” It’s a wonderful song whose lyrics express the desire to cherish and watch over individuality.
The song was presented as the song of June 2025.
Lyrics by Shinzo Higurashi.
Music by Bearground.
It’s great not only at home but also for use in preschools and kindergartens.
It feels like it teaches, through song, that it’s okay for people to be different.
Pay attention to the lovely lyrics about accepting your own individuality and that of others!
Hyurara boon-boon!Yuichiro Hanada, Maya Nagata
Let me introduce a song that gets everyone from kids to adults pumped up: “Hyura Love Boom Boom!” It’s a pop, happy track that’s perfect for shaking off morning drowsiness or lifting your spirits when you’re feeling low.
First performed in March 2024, the song was written and composed by Nobuhiro Mitomo.
From the intro to the very end, it stays consistently rhythmic, and with many repeated lyrics, it’s easy for children to remember.
Plus, dancing along with the energetic choreography is sure to boost your mood!
Go by Shinkansen! Go, go!Daisuke Yokoyama / Takumi Mitani
If your child loves trains—and especially the Shinkansen—this is a sure-fire song to recommend! The Shinkansen is so cool, isn’t it? Its sleek look and incredible speed.
A lot of kids, especially boys, really get into it, don’t they? Thanks to the racing, fast-paced feel of the music, you can truly feel like you’re riding the Shinkansen.
What kind of towns lie beyond these tracks, and what scenery spreads out there? Be sure to imagine it together as a parent and child.

peach-colored cheeksLyrics/Composition: Yamamoto Sho
The new song that began airing in March 2025 on NHK Educational TV’s “Okaasan to Issho” is a cheerful and fun piece created by Sho Yamamoto.
It features an appealing, idol-style melody and lyrics that are easy to enjoy.
With lively choreography designed to bring out children’s smiles, the piece has a heartwarming finish.
Sung joyfully by singer Nagata Maya, exercise leader Anzu Akimoto, and the new character Mimomo-chan, this song is delightful for everyone from babies to young children.
It’s a wonderful tune that families can enjoy together, moving their bodies to the rhythm.
Hardworking BoogieYuichiro Hanada, Maya Nagata
Taking off your pajamas in the morning, checking the weather forecast, jotting down notes so you don’t forget anything… It shares the little hard-working moments of everyday life set to a fun boogie tune.
With a lively, spirited rhythm, it’s a cheerful song that tells kids “working is cool.” Debuting as the Song of the Month in October 2023, “Hatarakimono Boogie” features lyrics by Morihisa Yamamoto and music by Asei Kobayashi.
Listening to this track might even make cleaning and tidying up more fun!
Magical La-La-La♪Yuichiro Hanada, Atsuko Ono
“Mahou no La La La♪” was released as the song for February 2022.
It was the monthly song for the final month of Atsuko Ono (Ono Atsuko Onee-san), who graduated in March 2022.
The lyrics were written by Aritarou and Takanori Mizoguchi, and the music was composed by Taro Masuda.
This is a very gentle song that encourages young children who find it hard to sing out confidently.
Since the “la la la” in the title is repeated many times, even children who can only sing quietly at first will likely find themselves singing louder before they know it.
Try singing it together with lots of energy!
Karada DandanMakoto Fukuo, Anzuki Akimoto
One song played during exercise time is Karada☆Dandan.
The previous exercise song, Bunba-Boon!, also featured various creatures, and this one lets kids dance while transforming into things they love—like dinosaurs, sea animals, and even ninjas! Since it’s an exercise song, doing just one track gets the body moving, so try it in the morning to wake up or during group fun in childcare settings.
With little ones, it’s great for adults to dance together with them and teach them to have fun by imitating the moves.
