Looking for a particular alphabet song

30+ years ago, when I was about 8 years old, I was obsessed with ninjas and Japanese and wanted to learn so I went to the library and checked out a kids book which also had an audio cassette with kid songs to help you learn.

I particularly remember the alphabet song and it’s still stuck in my head today. I remember it had the phrase

“Doko ka de darekaga waratte iru”
どこかで誰かが笑っている

in the lyrics. It was a fairly fast tempo song and was very catchy so I have been trying to find it on YouTube with no luck.

Just posting here on the off-chance that one of you know it and can direct me on how to find it so I can scratch that nostalgic itch.

  1. Are you sure the lyrics were どこかで誰かが笑っている ?

    I tried searching for 童謡 with those lyrics and nothing came up besides horror stories lol

    Could it be 待ってる instead of 笑ってる ?
    Was it (for Japanese) to learn the English Alphabet? Or something with あ か さ た な etc?
