(I am Kai… I am not a king…
I am not strong… but I love words…)
Morning. We go up the mountain, again
The snow is deep ── but the charm says "wish"
I fell yesterday. I fall today. I get up
Win or fall ── we are not stopping
And there, in the light ── he is waiting
The man with no name
"Why are you here? Everything is mine."
── No. We have something for you
You sang alone. No one cheered. No one said your name ──
Because you have no name
So this is our gift. Your name is ── "Star"
"…My name? …Mine?"
Yes. Yours. And no one can take it
I am Kai! I am not a king!
I was not strong ── but look at me now!
Words are power! Words are light!
And I am brave! I am brave!
We are the words! This is our world!
Good morning, sun! ── Good morning, words!
Mina runs. "Brother!" ── He turns
She says it to his face, at last:
"Every day, I wrote. For you. Every day."
He nods, and says:
"I received them. Every one. Every day."
"…Welcome back."
"I am back."
Star sings. For the first time ──
And for the first time, we cheer for him
He turns on his light ── all of it
The light rises over the mountain ──
And the morning comes with it
(B-R-A-V-E!)
In my notebook, I write one word ── my favorite word:
B-R-A-V-E !─ BRAVE!
I am Kai! I am not a king!
I was not strong ── but I am brave!
We are the words! This is our world!
This is ── WORD WORLD!
Good morning, sun! ── Good morning, words!
(B-R-A-V-E! ── BRAVE!)
Winter went. Spring is coming
The light is in the lake again ── and in us
── And we will meet again
(Will…? ── it is a new word. For the next season.)

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:
