It is already mid November. Christmas is round the corner. Autumn leaves have started falling. I remember I used to see a red dragonfly when I was a child in Japan but I do not see them often in this country. They usually fly as soon as the summer changes to Autumn so I guess this is not a right time to see them anyway. Today’s children song is called [Aka Tonbo] means a red dragonfly.
Aka tonbo (A Red Dragonfly)
I have found a video with the English translation below. It is very simple tune but a very beautiful tune.
Japanese lyric in Romaji

Now let’s sing!
