Fine weather for tomorrow, please!Daisuke Yokoyama / Takumi Mitani
It’s the song that has been used as the ending theme for “Okaasan to Issho” since the 2009 puppet show Monoran Monoran began.
Although the ending song often changed when the puppet show was renewed, this song continued to be used across three generations—after Monoran Monoran, through Pokottoite and Garapiko Puu—until March 2017.
The bell rings.Yuichiro Hanada, Atsuko Ono
This is a song that was used as the ending theme starting in 2017.
It’s also memorable that the ending changed to this song during the broadcast of “Garapiko-pu.” It’s nice that the flow continues where the characters signal the end by passing through a tunnel they created.
The powerful rhythm that evokes a marching tune and the lyrics that depict making more friends are highlights that lift your spirits.
The development that expresses the bell sound—the song’s title—also conveys a bright atmosphere, sharing the sense of unity and fun in the moment.
One apple pieKentaro Hayami, Ayumi Shigemori
There’s only one apple pie, but since two of us are eating, we’ll split it in half.
Then what about sharing one chocolate among three people? Sharing snacks can be tricky, but it’s fun when everyone eats together.
This is a heartwarming piece that evokes the scene at the dining table.
Garapiko-pooChoromii, MuuMuu, and Garapiko
This is the opening theme song of the puppet show “Galapico Poo” from Okaasan to Issho, which began in April 2016.
The song is performed by the characters from Galapico Poo.
Choromie (played by Hitomi Yoshida), MuuMuu (played by Yasuyo Tomita), and Galapico (played by Tokuai Kawashima) sing it adorably.
Good morning!Yuichiro Hanada, Atsuko Ono
It’s the perfect song for a morning when a fun day is about to begin! The lyrics include the “good morning!” calls of various animals, so if Dad or Mom calls out the animal names, kids will likely get into it and imitate the animal sounds with excitement! It’s also recommended for kids who aren’t morning people!
Go! Go! ExplorersYume, Taisei, Shusshu, Poppo, Stationmaster Pantan
It’s a fun song that sparks children’s sense of adventure.
Featuring a rhythmic melody and lively lyrics, it depicts a quest to uncover seven mysteries as a member of an expedition team.
The song celebrates the joy of moving forward together with friends and the start of a journey full of surprises and discoveries, encouraging kids to take on new challenges.
It’s a tie-in song with the NHK program “With Dad,” and is included on the album “With Dad: Song Album Go! Go! Explorers.” This track is perfect for family time, as parents and children can enjoy singing and dancing together.
Mole TunnelAkihiro Sugita, Ryoko Tsunoda
This song, which aired in 2019, humorously sings about tunnels dug by moles.
With everyone dancing in sunglasses, it was great fun, and many children probably danced their hearts out in front of the TV.
It also became a hot topic among mothers, who couldn’t get enough of Makoto Oniisan’s muscles and dance moves as he thrived in his role as the exercise big brother.
