DancerFukkun:)Tatsuki Fukuda
Primarily active in Tokyo, I have experience as a backup dancer for artists, a music video dancer, and a commercial dancer. I continue to work as a dancer while also engaging in article production. After discovering Michael Jackson in junior high school, I began dancing in my second year of high school. Since starting dance, in addition to the J-Pop and Japanese rock I had been listening to, I began exploring Western R&B, rap, alternative music, and other tracks commonly used for dance. In elementary school, I spent three years in a choir, and because I love singing, I often go to karaoke for fun. These days, I enjoy a wide range of music, from Japanese rock and rap to K-pop.
Accompanist / Piano InstructorYuri
Accompanist pianist × piano instructor × web writer. I began piano lessons at age four and, inspired by my piano teacher, decided to pursue music. I went on to specialized music programs in high school and university, where I discovered the appeal of accompanying instrumentalists and singers. Currently, alongside teaching piano, I work mainly in my home region of Aichi as an accompanist for flute, voice, choir, and more. Through lessons, my students often introduce me to trending songs, and my hobby is trying anything on the piano—Japanese and Western pop, commercial jingles, and beyond. Since 2021, I’ve also been active as a web writer, covering music and a variety of other genres.

Starting out as a gag manga for adults, Crayon Shin-chan has now become a beloved national anime supported by a wide range of viewers, from children to adults.

In this article, we’ll introduce the show’s theme songs and insert songs! Although Shin-chan’s sloppy personality and slightly crude remarks once earned the show a high ranking among programs parents didn’t want their kids to watch, the mischievous yet kind-hearted protagonist is so endearing that you can’t help but keep watching.

The theme songs are all masterpieces that capture listeners’ hearts, so please enjoy to the very end!

Please listen to “For now, how about acting like an adult?” from Crayon Shin-chan, sung by the original singer (Yuko Ishino)! Yuko Ishino is actually singing this song.

The song depicts a heartwarming everyday scene between a child, with their uniquely kid-like arguments, and an adult who ends up responding a bit too seriously.

This is a song included on the soundtrack album Inamura Jane, released in 1990.

There’s a scene in the original Crayon Shin-chan manga where the lyrics to this song appear, and when that chapter was adapted into the anime, the track was used as background music.

Incidentally, the song was chosen because the creator, Yoshito Usui, was a fan of Southern All Stars.
