I thought you meant "racy" in terms of Kotoba de asobo, which definitely didn't seem right ot me. UA is a good singer, I have to admit. I've never heard her voice before. Then again Jim Morrison used to appear on kids shows in the US, and did lots of poetry readings. Artistic people are complex folks I guess. :) Hm, I see what you mean.

Racy - Doremi is the name of the program, host pop singer Uua check it out http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RHlZGTipZ8k&feature=related Great voice, but interesting choice for kids.

Definitely cutting-edge artistic and original, but that\'s the kind of things kids will remember when they get older. My little one likes the denderaryuba song, so those little songs and phrases have a way of sticking. When I was growing up, I remember a TV show in the US called \"Math 1\", that kind of did the same thing with Math. That stuff really stuck with me after all these years. :) I don\’t know if edgy and racy are the right terms here, but I know what you mean.

NHK has actually some real flare with their educational programs, and they teach young kids many things most high school students don't know, for example Karada de asobo (a slightly edgy title) teaches kids how to sit and stand in a tatami room. They also have an interesting pick of hosts, Nihongo de asobo is hosted by an American ex-sumo wrestler. I wonder how they came up with that one. Ua hosted an educational NHK program too. Wow, with her voice and her strange costumes I used to watch it. Raciest kids TV from a very conservative country. Keep it coming I say. Nihongo de asobo is great.
