[Original PV] A Small Love Song / MONGOL800 (cover) by Amatsuki

Despite never having been released as a single, MONGOL800’s classic “Chiisana Koi no Uta” is frequently featured in dramas and films and has gained widespread popularity.

Many artists have covered it, but the version introduced here is by Amatsuki, who is also active as a vocalist.

While the Mongol800 version has an appealing, positively “masculine” feel, Amatsuki’s rendition gives a fresh and breezy impression.

It is a love song, but with lyrics that aren’t overly abstract and a brisk, refreshing melody, it’s something parents and children can enjoy singing together—even if they don’t yet fully understand the lyrics’ meaning!

Superfly “A Bouquet With Love” Music Video

A signature song by Superfly, Ai wo Komete Hanataba wo (“A Bouquet with Love”), is memorable for vocalist Shiho Ochi’s soaring voice.

Released in 2008, it was chosen as the theme song for the drama Edison no Haha (Edison’s Mother).

It’s often performed on TV and is a karaoke favorite, so even kids who didn’t hear it in real time when it was released may find it familiar.

The high notes can feel challenging even for adults, but since children’s voices are naturally higher, they might actually come out easily and be comfortable to sing.

Try singing it freely and energetically—every bit as open and vibrant as Ochi herself!
