I made a website called Mia's Bicultural Bedtime as part of an assignment for an ED Tech class I took online through University of San Diego. I still get emails from people occasionally regarding the lullabies I recorded or about co-sleeping.

I just got another email from a Japanese guy wanting recommendations on Japanese lullaby CD's, so I thought I would record my answer here in case someone asks me again:

I wish I had a better answer to your CD question. I just ask Baba to send children's music in Japanese. "Yoiko no douyou" has a couple of lullaby type songs on it, as well as another CD called "sekai no komoriuta spesharu".

I think the best one is Oyasumi It has "nene kororiyo" as well as a hauntingly beautiful okinawan lullaby.



On the American Amazon.com site I found:

Mother's Songs sung by a male countertenor in simple, piano-acccompanied versions.

and

the planet sleeps (which contains "itsuki no komoriuta" which I like very much)
