WORD WORLD Front Cover

(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:
