Shadow Is My Friend: The Song of the Silhouette ProfessorYuuichirou Hanada

"Shadow Is My Friend ~ The Silhouette Professor's Song" from Okaasan to Issho (Full Cover)

A segment where you look at a shadow and guess what shape it is: “Silhouette Doctor.” This is the theme song sung by Yuichiro Hanada-oniisan, who plays the role of the Silhouette Doctor in this segment.

It’s a cool, jazz-style tune that suits the Silhouette Doctor perfectly—he’s dressed like a phantom thief, with a silk hat, glasses, and a cape.

Excuse me, anyone home? Excuse me, please.Daisuke Yokoyama / Takumi Mitani

Excuse me, excuse me. (Okaasan to Issho) Song: with lyrics by NEUTRINO

“Gomen kudasai, men kudasai” was released as the April 2009 song.

The lyrics were written by Chiyoko Mori and the music was composed by Yasuo Kosugi.

The song is set in a shop that serves dishes made with various kinds of noodles, so children can enjoy pretend play while singing.

Once you learn the noodle dishes that appear in the song, it might be fun to try eating them for real.

The foods in the song will surely feel much more familiar! Be sure to sing and play together with everyone at nursery school or kindergarten, too!

Everyone, everyone, everyone — Singing Men and Women (Okaasan to Issho)

When we become adults, we always introduce ourselves when we meet someone for the first time.

But as this song suggests, maybe that wasn’t necessary when we were children.

Thinking back, I don’t remember ever making a point of giving my name before playing.

A gentle world where everyone holds hands and becomes friends—that thought puts my heart at ease.

Who do you think the kappa is? It’s the honorable Kappa!Akihiro Sugita, Ryoko Tsunoda

With Mother: 'What kind of kappa? Lord Kappa!'

Here is a humorous song that aired on Okaasan to Issho in 2010.

It was sung by the duo of Daisuke Yokoyama and Takumi Mitani.

For small children, they might not even know what a kappa is to begin with, but through this song, it’s nice to let their imaginations wander—maybe a kappa is something important or impressive?

Hug—Professor!Yuichiro Hanada, Atsuko Ono

[Okaasan to Issho May 2021 Song] “Gyuu Hakase” Cover

Verbal communication is important, and sometimes things are conveyed through physical touch, just like in this song! It’s a song about how you can understand your parents’ feelings by giving them a big hug.

It’s true… If you have children, you probably hug them often, right? You can gauge their mood by whether they welcome it or not.

And maybe, at that moment, your child is actually checking how you’re feeling, too.

In any case, physical contact is a chance to deepen closeness! Let’s hug along with the song!
