Doremi Fa Train Premiere Osamu Oniisan Yuko Oneesan#OkaItsu　Osamu Oniisan　#YukoBigSister

Original song – Okai-tsu – Okai-tsu

Ashita Tenki ni Na~re! was used as the ending theme for three consecutive seasons: Monoran Monoran starting in 2009, Pocopotteito starting in 2011, and Garapiko Pu~ starting in 2016.

Daisuke Yokoyama and Takumi Mitani, who served as the longest-tenured “Uta no Onii-san” and “Uta no Onee-san,” respectively, were the primary vocalists.

The lyrics, which depict the world opening up as a train emerges from a tunnel, evoke a bright future and leave you feeling happy.

Rainy Day Thrills — With Mother (cover — full version)

We tend to think rainy days are boring because we can’t play outside, but once you listen to this song, those feelings will blow away and rainy days will become fun! You’ll notice sounds you don’t usually hear, like raindrops and thunder, and see colorful umbrellas that look different than usual.

The song compares them to things like a concert or an art exhibition, giving children a chance to make new discoveries.

[Ah-I-Uu] With Mother

Speaking of “Okaasan to Issho,” it’s the exercise song where the singing big brother and big sister dance together with the exercise big brother, right? I think this is the song most of you recognize the most.

It’s a lively exercise tune where you can move your whole body while enjoying the 50 Japanese syllables (a-i-u-e-o, etc.

) through fun facial expressions.

In the song, there are also parts where you transform into familiar animals for children, like squirrels, cats, and cranes—great moments to move your body in a fun way.

Be sure to try doing the exercises while listening to the song!

Shuriken NinjaKunihiro Taniguchi

Finger Play: “Shuriken Ninja” (Kasama Tomobe Kindergarten Child-Rearing Information)

It’s a play song where you pretend to be a ninja: you jump to dodge the “foot shuriken” aimed at your feet, crouch to avoid the “head shuriken” aimed at your head, and catch the “ninja chop” with a sword-catching pose.

Dog Policeman – The Little Lost Kitten [Japanese Children's Song]

This is a gentle, melodic song depicting the encounter between a lost kitten and a kind police officer.

Written by Yoshimi Sato and composed by Megumi Ohnaka, it was created between the 1950s and 1960s.

With its warm lyrics and rhythmic tune, it’s perfect for fostering children’s emotional development.

It has been broadcast on NHK programs such as “Minna no Uta” and “Okaasan to Issho,” and is beloved by many.

We recommend singing it together with your child while adding simple motions for extra fun.

The heartwarming, picture book–like story will nurture your child’s imagination.

Do-Re-Mi-Fa TrainKentaro Hayami, Ayumi Shigemori

After the exercises with the gymnastics big brother were over, this was the song that was sung on the program.

Since it was the program’s ending, some of you might have felt a little lonely as children, thinking, “When this song starts, the show is going to end…”

Eggs at Pont NeufDaisuke Yokoyama / Takumi Mitani

Humbert Humbert – Eggs of Pont Neuf (Live)

It’s one of the popular songs from “Okaasan to Issho.” Since it’s sung by Humbert Humbert, I imagine not only children but many adults like it as well.

It’s a very unique and uplifting song.
