There was an author who began with colorless squares —
Two little shapes that learned to hug, and turned to green
She painted what a child represents: the small, the true
Her readers grew, and grew up, and read her to their own
A studio filled with sketches, a theater that she drew —
Imagination was the only seed she'd sown
She has passed away. The visitors still come
The door is open, although she is not there
Her chair is empty — but the room is not, for some:
Her spirit sits with everyone who climbs the stair
Unfold your wings — the ones she drew inside you
They do not fold anymore. They were never just her own
Words are power. Words are light
What one hand painted, a thousand hands have flown
Not only pictures but also silence — she taught us both
The page that says the least can hold the most
Until the last, she kept a pencil close
Inspired by the child she was — her dearest ghost
We stood in the studio. Mina touched the light
Kai read the wall: "To the one who visits next —"
Bird finished it, quietly, getting it right:
"— the story is yours now. Write the text."
Unfold your wings — the ones she drew inside us
They do not fold anymore. They were never hers alone
Words are power. Words are light
What one hand painted, a thousand hands have flown
Two colorless squares. One hug. One green
The smallest page that anyone has ever seen —
And it is still unfolding

Sentanbun - Movement 3: Words Have Stayed
KYOKASHO RECORDS
WORD WORLD (Uta-tan) Disc 3 "Grade 9"
An album where every word and grammar point from the junior-high English textbook becomes a lyric. Built around Japan's NEW HORIZON 3 curriculum, with cross-reference tables for other major textbooks on every track page.
All 12 songs form a graduation album: in their third spring, the world finally comes to Kai, Bird, and Mina. The musical backbone is choir - the one form of music every Japanese ninth-grader shares. Present perfect looks back on three years, relative clauses call old friends home, the subjunctive mood turns toward hope, and the final track brings everyone back to the melody of Track 1.
Track 13, "Sentanbun (Movement 3)," is a bonus track that packs all 419 words of the third-year vocabulary list into a single six-and-a-half-minute song. Across all three grades, the trilogy covers Japan's full 1,486-word junior-high vocabulary in about 19 minutes total.
Full lyrics, Japanese translations, textbook cross-references, and grammar notes are free at:
