Rekishi Creates New Ending Theme for NHK's Children's Show 'Mitsuketa!'
History-inspired musician Rekishi (Takafumi Ikeda) has composed the new ending theme 'Rakuda Katabura' for NHK Educational TV's popular children's program, featuring actor Ikuta Toma.

Rekishi, the history-obsessed musical project of Takafumi Ikeda, has written and composed a new ending theme for NHK Educational TV's beloved children's show "Mitsuketa!" (We Found It!).
The new song, titled "Rakuda Katabura" (Camel Katabura), will be performed by the character Rakuda-san (Mr. Camel), played by popular actor Ikuta Toma. The track serves as the program's latest ending theme, replacing the previous song in the show's rotation.
"Mitsuketa!" is a long-running educational program on NHK's children's channel that combines entertainment with learning through various characters and segments. The show has featured multiple ending themes over its run, often incorporating catchy songs that help children remember educational content.
Rekishi, known for his unique approach of mixing modern pop sounds with Japanese historical themes and wordplay, brings his distinctive style to children's television. His previous works have cleverly incorporated historical figures and events into accessible pop music, making him a natural fit for educational programming.
Ikuta Toma's involvement as the character Rakuda-san adds star power to the children's segment. The actor, known for his roles in dramas and films, takes on the camel character who appears in the show's various educational skits.
The collaboration represents an interesting crossover between Rekishi's history-focused artistry and children's educational content, potentially introducing young viewers to his creative approach to learning about Japan's past through music.
