On our way, we set up a tent at a campground
A campfire. A cold night
"What's wrong?" Mina says. "You are not talking."
── Yesterday… I made a mistake
I was not fast. I was not strong
I was wrong… I was so wrong
"Hey," she says. "Remember. Remember it all."
The fire is small ── but it is not breaking
My heart ── it beats. It still beats
I was happy. I was sad
We were small ── but we were there
And hey, remember, remember:
We were brave. We WERE brave
There was a light in the lake ──
And there is a light in us
My heart ── it beats, it beats, it beats
Remember the dome? It was our chorus contest ── and we won!
Remember the streets? It was our relay ──
We ran fast, and he was behind us!
Remember the beach? It was our trip
Mina took pictures ── for the album
So many memories ── and each one is a way
That night, I had a fever
Mina brought medicine. Bird said: "Take a rest."
There was a boy ── he was alone
Now there are three… and a bird
There is another day. There is another way
I was happy. I was sad
We were small ── but we were there
And hey, remember, remember:
We were brave ── and we are brave
There was a light in the lake ──
And there is a light in us!
My heart ── it beats, it beats, it beats!
The morning comes. The smoke rises
── And we rise, too

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:
