Tokyo Kodomo Club

Tokyo Kodomo Club

nihongo|Tokyo Kodomo Club|東京こどもクラブ|Tōkyō Kodomo Kurabu, meaning Tokyo Children Club, is an early childhood education program published in Japan in an audio-visual format, distributed monthly on a record. The 7-inch record contained stories and songs, accompanied by a picture book that could be bound in a special folder. The early-childhood education program came in two courses: a 2-4 year old course and a 5-7 year old course. Each of the courses was designed to complete in 12 months. In addition on a quarterly basis, the Club sent out supplemental stories, songs and other music on a 12-inch record. The recitations on Side A were by nihongo|"Uncle Maeda"|前田武彦|Takehiko Maeda, and on Side B, nihongo|"Bin-chan"|楠トシエ|Toshie Kusunoki. The records were monaural recordings at 33-1/3 rpm. Presently, the recordings have gone out of print, making their procurement quite difficult.

Programs

The programs were designed to familiarize children with stories and songs from around the world, with emphasis on European orchestal works. Main story narration often featured Classical music as a background music in order to help set the tone of the story. The bullets found in the index to each lesson were color-coded: red for the main story, blue for the songs and yellow for the occasional extra story. In the original course series, the main stories and songs were bulleted with a star and the extra stories with a circle. However, in later course series, they switched their bullets to red circles, blue squares and yellow triangles, keeping the same color code as before.
