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:
