While Kosaku Yamada came back from abroad and was extremely earnest. The talented and brilliant two, have completely opposite character and lifestyle, were asked to write children’s songs together.

They have been odds with each other but eventually work together to make lots of songs to cheer up the children.  Kitahara and Yamada go hand-in-hand and release many nursery rhymes.
