Great Dango Family (だんご大家族, Dango Daikazoku?) is the ending theme song of Clannad, and was used from On the Hillside Path Where the Cherry Blossoms Flutter to The Events of Summer Holidays. It was released in the album Mag Mell / Dango Daikazoku on 26 October 2007. It was performed by Chata, written and composed by Jun Maeda, and arranged by Takumaru. It uses the melody from Nagisa's theme song and interlude to second chorus using Nagisa: Parting at the Foot of the Hill.

Great Dango Family is often sung by Nagisa Furukawa. She sang it to show Fuko how wonderful the Dango Family is, and Fuko immediately plagiarized it to create a starfish song. In the episode A Hidden Past, finding an old Dango trinket in her shed prompted her to sing happily, which earned her a label of embarrassment from her father. She also decided to sing it at the end of her stage performance in the episode Two Shadows, without concern for the anticlimax that it caused. And also the insert song when Tomoya sings to Ushio in The Tidal Breeze's Mischief

やんちゃな焼きだんご やさしいあんだんご
すこし夢見がちな 月見だんご
おすましごまだんご 四つ子串だんご
みんなみんなあわせて 100人家族

赤ちゃんだんごはいつも幸せの中で
年寄りだんごは目を細めてる

なかよしだんご 手をつなぎ 大きなまるい輪になるよ
町をつくり だんご星の上 みんなで笑いあうよ
うさぎもそらで手をふってみてる でっかいおつきさま
うれしいこと 悲しいことも 全部まるめて

なかよしだんご 手をつなぎ 大きなまるい輪になるよ

うれしいこと 悲しいことも 全部まるめて

English

Dango, dango, dango, dango, dango, a great dango family
Dango, dango, dango, dango, a great dango family

The naughty fried dango, the kind red bean dango
The Mid-Autumn Festival dango tends to dream a little
The prim sesame dango, the four dango on a skewer
Everyone, everyone comes together and it’s a family of 100s

The baby dango is always within happiness
The aged dango has its eyes narrowed

The chummy dango hold their hands together and make a big, round ring
They build a town on the dango planet and everyone laughs together
The rabbit is trying to wave in the sky; the huge moon
Is rounding up everything, happy things and sad things, too

The chummy dango hold their hands together and make a big, round ring
They build a town on the dango planet and everyone laughs together
The rabbit is trying to wave in the sky; the huge moon
Is rounding up everything, happy things and sad things, too

Dango, dango, dango, dango, dango, a great dango family
Dango, dango, dango, dango, a great dango family

Dango, dango, dango, dango, dango, a great dango family
Dango, dango, dango, dango, a great dango family
