Charlie and Lola

This children's animated show is aired in the US during the Disney's Playhouse segment.

Disney is smart to grab rights to this show for US exhibition. It's got to be the most entertaining, intelligent and heartwarming children's programming I have seen in a long time!

Because this is a music blog, I must mention the Theme tune. I'm so in love this the charming 56 second melody! It makes me smile, and the hear it in the morning is good enough of a reason for me to wake up!
Don't believe me that it's charming?


have a listen...

Utada Hikaru - ぼくはくま (Boku Wa Kuma) [single]

This single probably surprised a lot of people. Hardcore Hikki fans probably threw a fit as it was the follow up to Passion and Keep Tryin'. I could have heard them saying,"what the hell is she thinking? It's a children's song! This isn't at all like Passion! Has she lost her mind?"

I find it humorous to realize that this single out sold both Passion and Keep Tryin'.

Anyways, putting the children's song aspect aside, this song has got to be one of her most catchy tunes yet. After listening to the melody and watching the PV, I often found myself singing the chorus over and over again without getting annoyed. I like this song. It's a perfect song for children and it's good enough for adults to enjoy, if they can let go of their overly inflated adult egos and enjoy a fun tune.
