Book Reviews of Best-Loved Children's Songs from Japan (English and Japanese Edition)
Book Review: Songs contained in this book
Summary: 5 Stars
I don't have this book, and nor have I seen inside it, so 5 stars is only to give the benefit of the doubt to the quality of the book. I am writing this merely for other frustrated browsers who like me, wished they knew which songs the book actually contained before they committed to purchasing the book. An internet search revealed them, so here they are:
- dokokade haruga / Somewhere Spring
- naisho banashi / My Secret
- shapon dama / Soap Bubbles
- kanariya / The Canary
- yurikago no uta / A Cradle Lullaby
- chiisai aki mitsuketa / Little Autumn
- nanatsu no ko / Seven Babies
- aka tombo / Red Dragonfly
- akai kutsu / Red Shoes
- aoi me no ningyou / The Blue-Eyed Doll
- mori no kobito / Little People of the Forest
- kogitsune / Fox Cubs
- takibi / The Bonfire
- shikararete / Scolded
- yuki / Snow!
I'm not sure that you'd call these "current" best-loved songs, as I certainly haven't heard more than a couple of them despite spending a long time in Japan with children. Having found out the songs, I think I might try and find recordings of them before reconsidering whether I purchase the book.
