Minna de Utao!

[Machine Translation] It is said that "Dohyou" was born from "Akai Tori", a movement for children that Japan can be proud of in the world. I am developing the "Doyo" movement from various angles in order to spread "Doyo" throughout Japan. The "DOYO group" has become so popular in Kyushu that NHK (Japan Broadcasting Corporation) has a regular program on it, and we have released various albums of children's songs and shoka. This time, we focused on small children in particular. We hope that small children and their parents, as well as nursery school and kindergarten teachers, will join the DOYO group in singing joyously toward tomorrow in an energetic and peaceful environment. I think it is very important for adults to spend time with children. I hope that the children will always have rich memories of songs in their hearts.

『童謡』は日本が世界に誇ることの出来る子供達の為の運動『赤い鳥』から生まれたと言われています。私はこの『童謡』を全国に広めるために様々な角度から童謡運動を展開しています。この『DOYO組』は、地元九州ではNHKでもレギュラ-番組を持つほど人々に浸透しており、今までも様々な童謡、唱歌のアルバムをリリ-スしてきました。今回は特に小さなお子さんを中心に考えました。小さな子供達とお父さんお母さん、そして保育園、幼稚園の先生方がDOYO組とともに、元気よく平和な環境で明日に向かって楽しく歌って下さることを願っております。大人が子供達と過ごすと言うことは、とても大事なことと思います。どうぞ必ず大人になる子供達の心の引き出しに豊かな歌の思い出を入れて下さるよう、お願い致します。NPO日本国際童謡館 館長 大庭照子
