@user15821878215964 October 2012 Song: Goro Ppo Jaka Jaka! Daisuke Yokoyama & Takumi MitaniGoropupo JakajakaDaisuke YokoyamaTakumi Mitani#Daisuke Onii-san#Takumi Onee-san#WithMotherOctober 2012Song of the Month
Original song – Hikaru Tamura – Hikaru Tamura
The “Goropupo Jakajaka” in the title is said to evoke the sounds of each instrument: gorogoro (drums), pupupupu (trumpet), piano (piano), and jakajaka (guitar).
The music video, where everyone brings instruments and dances energetically, is particularly memorable.
Shooby Dooby PapayaJajamaru, Piccolo, Porori
This is a song sung by the three characters, Jajamaru, Pikkoro, and Porori, in the puppet show ‘Niko Niko Pun’ from ‘Okaasan to Issho.
‘ It’s a classic that has continued to be sung even after ‘Niko Niko Pun’ ended.
The lyrics convey the close friendship among the three, making it a fun piece.
Winter's Daughter, Rikka-RokkaDaisuke Yokoyama / Takumi Mitani
“Fuyu no Musume Rikka Rokka” is a quintessential winter song from Okaasan to Issho, known for its slightly bittersweet melody and lyrics.
By the way, “Rikka Rokka” comes from the Japanese word rikka (六花), which refers to snow.
It’s a masterpiece with a lovely sense for word choice.
Age-age donutsYuichiro Hanada, Atsuko Ono
The November 2020 Song of the Month, “Ageage Donuts.” It’s a track featuring sweet, delicious donuts that kids often request at snack time.
If you’re crying, a donut comes to comfort you; whenever you see something round, it reminds you of donuts—these cute lyrics make donuts feel even more familiar.
Listening to this song will make you crave donuts, so be sure to pick some up before you listen with your child (lol)!
Toy BluesDaisuke Yokoyama / Takumi Mitani
It’s a song that says “Clean up after you’re done playing!” from the toys’ point of view.
If I were a toy, I’d surely feel the same way as in this song.
It might work well if you let kids who struggle with tidying up after playtime listen to it! And at night, please let the toys rest in their toy box, too.
Jitto Matta-kunDaisuke Yokoyama / Takumi Mitani
The Song of the Month for June 2012 features lyrics by Mishio Ogawa and music by Takeshi Shibuya.
The “waiting quietly” mentioned in the title actually refers to a single tree on a hill that is always watching over everyone.
It’s a fun piece with an appealing, lively, upbeat feel.
Sparrows SambaTetsu Kashiwa, Akira Hayashi, Saeko Shuu
This “Sparrows Do the Samba” is, as the title suggests, a playful song with a bit of a pun: sparrows dancing the “samba” in a group of “three.” Its upbeat, lively tune makes it easy and fun for young children to listen to—highly recommended.
