Name
The name of the song can be validly read in two ways: seven children or child of seven, meaning seven year old child. Although not a literal translation, the song name is occasionally romanized as Seven Baby Crows or The Crow's Seven Chicks.[4]
The granddaughter of the lyricist actually claimed that Noguchi's son is the primary inspiration of the song and that it means "7 years old", which refers to the age the son was when Noguchi composed the song. It's also the age his son was when Noguchi divorced his wife.
History
The song was written and published in Kin no Fune ("The golden ship") magazine on July 1921.[2][4] Nanatsu no Ko is used as the departure melody at Isohara Station in Kitaibaraki.

Conan hears the same numbers when Misao Yamamura calls a number for Yazu, Tottori.
Stradivarius Murder Case (Manga: 470-474, Anime: 385-387)
Conan works out both Kurayoshi and Yazu have the same area code 0858 and that it sounds similar, but not exactly, to the number Vermouth used to text the boss. He thinks it sounded familiar and had a sad feeling to it but can't think of the tune. He guesses the numbers correspond to the notes "si la sol la".[5] Kyosuke Haga, who has perfect pitch, confirms this and, when asked by Conan what sad-sounding song starts with those notes, whistles Nanatsu no Ko.
Kaitou Kid and the Three Instruments (Manga: 475-478, 394-396)
Conan deduces the boss uses a phone number[6] which follows the tune of the first few notes "Mother crow, why do you cry?" of the song. This allows the Black Organization members to remember the number without saving it in the phone. From memory and allowing for the notes being slightly off, Conan works out the email address is #969#6261[7], which was purposefully chosen by Gosho Aoyama to prevent prank calls.[8]
Clash of Red and Black (Manga: 595-609, Anime: 495-504)
