The concert dome is dark
No voice. No music
── It begins
The performer is on the stage:
"Welcome to my concert! I am the singer!
The world is my show!"
── No. The world is not your show
"We would like to sing. On your stage
I'd like to sing ── again."
Mr. Bird: "Do your best!"
Mina: "Try! Try! We try!"
My voice is small… but it is mine
And a small voice is not no voice! ── Sing!
My voice! Your voice! ── one big voice!
Cheer up! Cheer up! ── the world needs words!
Words are power! Words are light!
Sing it again! Again! Again!
Hero! Hero! ── You are my hero!
This is ── WORD WORLD! (La-la-la!)
One small voice stands up: "You are brave!"
── My word! My "brave"! It is coming!
One voice, and one voice, and one voice ──
The people are singing, all over the dome!
The words are coming ── they are going home!
"Stop! They are mine!" ── No! Words are for everyone!
Your stage is our stage now!
Mr. Bird, on the stage: "Excuse me!
I'd like chicken curry… and dessert!"
── The dome laughs! And laughing is a voice, too!
The performer is small now
He is not singing. He has no cheer
"…I always sing. But no one…"
── Your voice is yours. Sing with us. Someday
(Quiet… then the drums come…)
My voice! Your voice! ── one big voice!
Cheer up! Cheer up! ── the world needs words!
Words are power! Words are light!
Sing it again! Again! Again!
Hero! Hero! ── You are my hero!
This is ── WORD WORLD!
(La-la-la! La-la-la! All over the world!)
The words are home. The town is singing
But Mina is looking at the dark ──
"…Brother? BROTHER!"
A man is there ── and the performer is taking him
They are going… into the dark
(We are coming. Wait for us.)

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:
