[ABCsoloABC]

Belle belle!!!

[Greed0Vasily]

They don't highlight the English words as they are played.

[crylacrymosa]

This was one of the first songs I ever learned in Japanese. I forgot it, but just hearing it brought it back. Glad I found this.

[AmethystKingdom]

; w ; Aaaaw, I remember this song! My mom used to sing it a lot to put me to sleep as a child. It's a shame that my mom doesn't sing it anymore.

This lullaby always makes me appreciate having a home and a family and it always made me feel safe and at peace. And of course, it always moves me to tears!

[granmanelly]

That is heart-rendingly beautiful.

Thank you.

[angellovell1]

Watashi wa kotoba nashi ni sore o shitte iru

[angellovell1]

[radovichhillary]

[brunettevideos]

Nen-nen korori yo, Okorori yo.

Bōya wa yoi ko da, Nenne shina~

Bōya no omori wa, Doko e itta?

Ano yama koete, Sato e itta.

Sato no miyage ni, Nani morouta?

Den-den taiko ni, Shō no fue.

[Makaroni5454]

this makes it so much easier to sing in japanes cos its slower rather than most jap music where u dont understand anything

[carmene626]

Is it normal to tear up with this lullaby? its very beautiful....the way she sings its is just so moving. =)

[JournaloftheWiccan]

so you pronounce ぼ as ご, and the つ in つた is silent?? i wish there was romanji along with the hiragana and katakana to see if i am pronouncing it right... :C

[alynkaipalomo]

@JournaloftheWiccan ぼ　is bo. ご　= go. The small つ　（っ） makes a small pause. Like in 立って: tatte.

[NerdyDrummerGirl]

Now I just have to memorize this by Wednesday.

[Garudanime]

i like the version in AIR tv more :P

[elixa4]

[xRussianSPmangAx]

When I grow up, I'll sing this to my children. :D

[yuihoriemsh]

baby is aka-chan right?in japanese is there any other term of akachan?

[XAnimeDollX]

@yuihoriemsh i thought that there was also 'akambou'

i'm not sure though ^-^

[VinnytheFox]

@XAnimeDollX yes "Akanbou" is another word for baby but watch out for the "mb" < that is an impossibility in the Japanese language

[XAnimeDollX]

@VinnytheFox ah thanks for correcting me :)

[apauletta]

every time I hear it I almost cry :) Thanks!

[meliante2]

Beautiful song! I had only listened to an instrumental version of this until now! Who is the singer?

[apauletta]

Wow this is really good congrats"!!!

[hayaheyahay]

i want to download the song ,where can i find it and who is the singer ?

[Flaco1988able]

woooh is an aswsome sonnnnngggg!!!

[froufroulover4]

froufroulover4's friend... where's the rest of the song? :( i wish the whole song was here... a whatever, at least they have furigana for people who cant read kanji

[lalani1026]

@froufroulover4 furigana?

[NekoMimi03]

@lalani1026 furigana, sometimes known as ruby, is hiragana added over kanji that says how to read it. furiganga is mostly supposed to be a reading aide for kids who can't read the kanji yet, but it comes in handy with not native speakers.

[lalani1026]

@NekoMimi03 ohhh ok thanks.. i just didnt know what it was called :P

[Sammygirl2238]

This is a little creepy.. I love it! :D

[animehana]

You rule!

I've been trying to find songs in Kana or youtube instead of romanji and its been proving quite difficut for me.

Thank you so much for posting it!

[sphinkie24]

japanese lullaby

[ryanscool2008]

wat the full name!!!!!!

[GekkoKamen]

I was just surfing for some relaxing music, found this, and now I've got some watery eyes, gosh.

[kitsunegyrl15]

i wish i was born Japanese :(

[tkbadgirl]

@kitsunegyrl15 me too :(

[ryanscool2008]

NAME OF SONG!!!

[HaiiroxAi]

@ryanscool2008 Edo no Komoriuta

[meliante2]

@ryanscool2008 The name of the song is "Edo No Komoriuta", or "Edo Lullaby".

[anime1lvr]

@ladysevsnape ok, thanks. i knew it was something like that! :P lol

[anime1lvr]

ok random question, but why do they put the kana on top of the kanji? instead wouldnt it just be easier to use the kana instead in the first place?

[GekkoKamen]

@anime1lvr so that the students, both the foreign and themselves can learn the kanji by relating the sound to it. Some kanji are really difficult to learn/read, and even Japanese newspapers and magazines sometimes use it. It's called furigana.

[LadyAri737]

As a souvenir from her home what did you get? A toy drum and a shoo flute

[dreamchaser171]

How is it supposed to help me learn japanese?

[joshuarawr]

This song has caught me and it's not letting go, I might just go to sleep listening to it for the next year :)

[CrystalDragon45]

I am gonna sing this song to my child!!!

[Aoitori365]

this song is so beautiful !

[vaccaveya]

I don't remember how they are called, but those comic songs about bossy women, a man who left his "koibito" behind (like Ikimonogakari no "Momen no handkerchief" or the traditional "Hoshikage no waltz") ?

[vaccaveya]

It is really beautiful, but extremely sad... I prefer the previous one.

Would you bring us some of that songs... I don'

[patinadoresUSC09]

damn this song made we wanna take a nap... :]

[kakera]

@strati5 it's better to learn hiragana. otherwise you'll never progress far.

[graciegrace1996]

william This is my favorite song I want to watch lesson 4,5,7,8,9,10

[graciegrace1996]

@kakera This is my favorite song I want to watch lesson 4,5,7,8,9,10

[theEumenides]

What a beautiful lullaby! I'm going to listen to this over and over so I can learn it!

[nelink250X]

this song is better than the last one, really beatiful :)

[radiodjcy]

how can you remember all these words, i don't think that as a starter i van remember all these :S

[uniQue1212]

c'mon xD just press the replay button

[radiodjcy]

do you mean by listening to it over and over again?? naa, no thanks :P, i am too old for lullabies :P

[meliante2]

@radiodjcy Think of it as a phonetic exercise. If you find yourself too old for listening to lullabies, sing the lullabies to children. It is a good song.

[281228122812]

thank you! :)

[FrankzTerz]

love the song 5 stars :)

[kawaiifull]

Wow this is so much better than any English lullaby :] I would have slept so much better as a child :p

[NavarrB]

For those who don't visit the site, the singer is Kana Mizushima

[HIROKOCHANNEL]

I love this song! My grandma used to sing it to me when i was a child. :)

[rraassll]

OMG, this is so amazing. I mean I like Jpod101 as source to learn japanese, but this is so beautiful. I hope you do more like this. Thanxx
