Description: 2000s kids show (?). Maybe NHK.
Seems to be an early morning show – they sing traditional Japanese songs and are usually in costume. A lot of the kids look to be no older than 5-6 singing. There are adults singing with them and the songs seem to be pretty commonly known. One in particular song / episode has a little boy singing and people are dancing in a circle around him while an adult bangs on big festival drums. In one part they chant "dede de dede de dede dede dede de".
Other songs in the program include (I think) singing songs about rivers, seasons, and frogs. Looks like it would have been popular. Thanks for any input.
