Sunny morning i open the door
A little case over my shoulder
Not going far not going anywhere
Just a little outside today
A little ukulele tu ru tu ru
A little ukulele tu ru tu ru
Around the corner the grass smells green
The sky feels closer than yesterday
I don’t know yet if i will play
I take a small sound with me
A little ukulele tu ru tu ru
A little ukulele tu ru tu ru
Halfway up the hill i stop for a while
Holding my hat with one hand
The wind touches the strings first
Before i play i smile a little
A little ukulele tu ru tu ru
A little ukulele tu ru tu ru
On the way home it still feels light
A little case moves on my shoulder

a little ukulele
Ai Yamaguchi
On a sunny morning, I put my ukulele case over my shoulder and head outside.
I'm not going far, and I have nowhere in particular to go. I just feel like stepping out and enjoying the fresh air.
The smell of grass around the corner, a sky that feels closer than yesterday, and a gentle breeze brushing against my cheeks halfway up the hill.
Nothing extraordinary happens, but even in familiar surroundings, there are little moments of discovery and joy.
"a little ukulele" is a simple, heartfelt song featuring gentle vocals and ukulele.
With its light, cheerful ukulele sounds and an easy melody to hum along to, it's a perfect companion for a morning walk, a quiet coffee break, or those moments when you just want to slow down and relax.
A little song to make your heart feel a little lighter, with a little ukulele by your side.
Artist Profile
Ai Yamaguchi
Began studying classical piano at the age of five. From junior high school through university, she dedicated herself to the clarinet, performing in school wind ensembles and a city concert band, before majoring in clarinet at music college and undertaking formal classical training. In high school, she joined a ska band and started her career in band performance as an alto saxophonist. She also took part in arranging, songwriting, and composing, broadening her musical expression beyond genres. At 22, she was deeply moved by the music of Sukima Switch, which inspired her to pursue singing, a path she had long dreamed of since childhood. Around the age of 24, she formed the piano-vocal unit Kimiiro Lover, appearing on television and radio. After later facing health challenges, she found her way to the ukulele. She now creates music marked by naturally expressive lyrics, the gentle sound of the ukulele, and a transparent, soothing voice that quietly and deeply resonates with listeners.
