Minna no Uta

Information

Minna no Uta (みんなのうた), is a five-minute NHK TV and radio program which is broadcast several times daily.
The program started on April 3, 1961. It is one of NHK's long-running programs.
The program is used to introduce new songs from popular and new singers, as well as to highlight the talents of various animators and directors.

MAL does not have all of Minna no Uta's (since they are quite unpopular and no one wants to add them), but this is a relation list of the ones currently on MAL.

MnU SpreadSheet - Contains an updated list of all of the Minna no Uta entries. Whether or not they have sources/their MAL entries is not fully updated on that list (yet), but I feel its a better starting point than the giant list here. If you'd like to help, feel free to PM me or join this discord, which is where a lot of us communicate about new MnU sources etc.

That spreadsheet is updated every few weeks by some code here

A dump of the current spreadsheet in JSON can be found hereOld MnU spreadsheet/airtimes

@Feorg

Thanks for making the request - now let's hope that it is actually attended to...

Regarding new entries, which yes, there are still plenty to come as you can tell from the gaps in the spreadsheet, you can take a look at pinapple's website. The MAL Just Added page may also show them near the top, but since this is based on the ID of the submission and they are not looked at in order, it can be hard to sift through. Alternatively, if you use Discord, you can join MAL-Notify and see the new entries which show up in the feed channel.

I've posted a request here for all the missing titles with a MAL page on the spreadsheet to be included in the official interest stack. It's 603 entries, let's see how long they'll take :D.

The problem is that gradually that list will go out of date as new ones are added, and I can't see on the spreadsheet what is a recent addition, so I don't know what to do about that. Not that it would be too hard to run a simple file comparison later in case the stack really is updated, but it's not ideal.

👍

Feel free to make a thread for this if you want. Leaving them here is fine too, I just don't get notifications, so it takes me a while longer to notice you posted something here.

I found a picture of you from the future when the entries got approved.

Also ForJoy finally re-activated today but they've eliminated trial memberships. So we are still shit out of luck.

I would complain about this taking 8 months, but there are probably things out there that have been waiting longer.
