Rakugaki Asobi no Uta (Scribbling Game Song)」「Just like the song sung when the children draw pictures on the ground, this also is a song sung to the accompaniment of drawing, this time scribbling. Rakugaki (which literally means scribbling) here refers to a "witty", "puzzling" or "unpredictable" way of drawing. At a glance the scribbled picture looks like a mere enumeration of things which have nothing to do with each other, but at the end they unexpectedly form a face of some kind or another.」「The song recorded in this program was sung by primary school children in Niigata Prefecture [See E(g)-1: Imomushi Koro Koro].」「The words of the song go: "A pumpkin has put its head above the ground. It soon buds and shows a flower. By adding whiskers here and there, we have now done a picture of a father's face."」「This game can be played at any time by any number of children who want to draw pictures if there is a proper space to do so. And they can draw the face of the same person in many different ways. Moreover, the face drawn by the children usually looks like somedody who is very close to them, so this kind of scribbling game is still popular and played widely today.」と記載。
