Japanese songs for Japanese language on YouTube (with translation in English)
I introduced Japanese songs on YouTube for Japanese language beginner before.
This time I want to introduce one more song for you.
It’s for kids, however, useful to know Japanese words and phrases with fun.
I translated lyrics in English so that you can understand easily.
The length of song is about 3 minutes. Hopefully I enjoy and learn something from this.
This post is song “はらぺこあおむし” (The very hungry caterpillar).
“おやさいたべてちょ マーチング編” by Tokyo Heidi
おやさいたべてちょ means “please eat vegetables”.
This song is made for kids to eat more vegetable, kind of promotion songs which intends to enhance more consumption to vegetables.
