Karaoke JOYSOUND (Cover) Fū-lala Hoaloha La~ / Daisuke Yokoyama, Takumi Mitani (original key) Tried singing

With a gentle melody inspired by hula dance, the song features sea creatures kids love—turtles, octopuses, and dolphins.

It’s a track that children are sure to enjoy singing along to! The song is also on the shorter side, which makes it easy to remember.

The lyrics are funny and fun in a way that will delight kids, making it a tune you’ll find yourself humming.

It’s also enjoyable to sing while pretending to do hula moves and dancing as a turtle or an octopus.

Be sure to try singing it together with the children!

Inotomo – Dream-colored Waltz (live on musica da Leda, 2017-02-21)

Wrap yourself in a blanket and close your eyes—cotton-candy clouds spread out before you.

Centered on a recorder that conjures a fantastical world, this waltz features lovely harmonies that are a highlight.

Once Mom and Dad are fast asleep, this is how children go adventuring in their dreams.

Bologtsubugi

Unusually for a children’s song, this piece has a boogie-woogie style.

It’s a tune that lifts the spirits not only of children but also adults, so you can enjoy it together.

I hope it inspires a sense of cherishing things.

Nagagucchan!!Daisuke Yokoyama / Takumi Mitani

Nagagucchan!! [Baby’s breath]

This is a song whose main character is Nagagucchan, the rain boots.

Since Nagagucchan can only go outside on rainy days, he eagerly looks forward to them.

The playful wordplay in the lyrics makes you feel upbeat, doesn’t it? I’m sure many children love this song.

Help! Oyoyo ManYuichiro Hanada, Atsuko Ono

Help! Oyoyo Man – “Okaasan to Issho” January 2021 new song, NHK E-Tele. Extremely popular with kids!

This is the song of Oyoyoman, who comes to the rescue when you’re in trouble! When your room is a mess after playing, or when you’re too tired to walk anymore, Oyoyoman shows up and—like magic!—helps you tidy up or gives you a burst of energy.

It’s a fun song with an Arabian-style melody that sticks in your ears.

Whether it’s tidying toys your child doesn’t want to clean up or going out for a long time, this song might help switch their mood.

It’s a tune we hope parents and kids will sing together at the top of their lungs.

One idea is for the parent to get into character as Oyoyoman!

Kinra Kira Pon (New Ending) NHK E-Tele Okaasan to Issho ♪ (Covered by UtaSta)

This is the ending theme that was changed with the start of the 2022 series “Fantane!”.

It’s a bit sad that the hand gates and tunnels created by the show’s beloved characters since its inception have officially been removed.

A standout feature is the sign-language choreography that matches the lyrics, which adds a solid educational element in addition to the song’s fun.

The relaxed rhythm is also pleasant, and it’s a piece that invites listeners to savor the message while encouraging large, expressive movements.

during winterDaisuke Yokoyama / Atsuko Ono

During Winter, Together with Mother – January 2017 Song

It’s a song that asks things like fans and wind chimes, which we don’t use during winter, “What are you doing? Are you sleeping?” The childlike idea of “I’m sure they’re having dreams like this!” is so cute, it makes you want to listen to it over and over.

It would also be fun to make a parody version using things you actually have at home!
