WORD WORLD Front Cover

On new year's eve, we stayed in a small hotel

We ate rice cakes. We wrote cards. We relaxed

We played a board game ── Mr. Bird did not win

He said, "Again! Again!" ── and we laughed

We had a good time

For the first time, I did not miss my town

On new year's day, we went outside

We bought fortune slips

Mina got "good". Bird got "good"

My fortune slip said ── "bad"

Mina had a charm ── wooden, and old. Her brother's charm

She said: "It is yours now."

One word on it ── "wish"

We went up the mountain. We saw them in the snow ──

Her brother, and the man in the dark

I ran. I fell down. I got up. I fell

The light went up ── and the snow came down

We said his name. No one said it back

They went. Winter came

── I miss you. I miss you

We went back to the hotel

Mina did not talk. Mr. Bird did not sing

I wrote a card ── to my mother

I cannot say her name now. But I wrote:

"I am OK. Take care of yourself."

── I read it again, and again, and again

The charm is here. It says one word: "wish"

My name is here. Her name is here. His song is here

The fortune slip said "bad" ──

But Mina read it again, and said:

"Look ── one more word: 'future'."

"Bad"… and then, "future"

We went up the mountain. We fell down in the snow

The light went up ── and the snow came down

But winter stays ── and we stay, too

── I miss you. I miss you

── And I wish. I wish

(I wish… I wish… I wish…)

    Sentanbun - Movement 1: Year One

    KYOKASHO RECORDS

WORD WORLD (Uta-tan) Disc 1 "Grade 7"

An album where every word and grammar point from the junior-high English textbook becomes a lyric. Built around Japan's NEW HORIZON 1 curriculum, with cross-reference tables for other major textbooks on every track page.

All 12 songs follow one story: a boy named Kai, his companion Bird, and a girl named Mina he meets by the sea. Grade-7 grammar - be-verbs, general verbs, present progressive, the modal "can" - unfolds naturally through their journey.

Track 13, "Sentanbun (Movement 1)," is a bonus track that packs all 594 words of the first-year vocabulary list into a single six-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:
