History
[edit]Super Simple Songs was started in 2004 by teachers of a small English school in Japan. They created their own songs in place of children's songs that were too complex and difficult to be used in teaching. After increasing in popularity from other teachers, they released their first CD. At some point, Super Simple Songs began uploading videos to YouTube. They originally uploaded videos of teaching tips for teachers on how to use their songs in the classroom. They started uploading videos just for kids after realizing that kids were also watching the teaching tips.[2]
Since March 2015, Super Simple was acquired by Toronto-based creative studio Skyship Entertainment, which was founded in January 2016.
The channel's content is now available through a dedicated mobile app, Amazon Prime Video, and other platforms.[3][4] In September 2021, Super Simple launched the Super Simple Podcast for children.[5]
