You see this song brings back memories of hanging out with my friend Lumine (who was in fact japanese) and talking about Vocaloid while her super strict mother would sing traditional japanese tunes to drown us out. :lol: They may sound strange but can anybody else picture Hatsune Miku singing this?

The other night I was Skyping with my 18 month old grand-daughter who lives in Japan. I started singing this song to her and she immediately starting doing the hand actions! She then walked away and came back with her little book of songs and pressed the button that played her version of Musunde Hiraite!!! And my great big Australian son started singing along as well!! I hope you keep presenting these children's songs. The repetition and simplicity of the songs makes them easy to learn, and to pick up the words being sung. I want to have a big repertoire when I see my grand-daughter in Japan in August this year! What a lovely song! The other night I was Skyping with my 18 month old grand-daughter who lives in Japan.

A long time ago -- I think I was in either 1st or 2nd grade -- we performed the dance to this song for our school May Day program here in Hawaii. I still have memories of our class practicing hard for many days. On the day of the performance we all wore happi coats. Although we were of several different ethnic backgrounds, we all felt "Japanese" that day. Your lessons are always amazingly interesting and relevant. Thank you! You've brought back memories. ~Jason~ Naomi 先生 and Peter 先生,

Lately I thought I should start studying about the 常識 things that every Japanese knows just because they've always lived in Japan and that is pretty hard for a foreigner to know. This lesson was perfect for that, thanks again :mrgreen: That was very sweet, thanks for the lesson!
