LOVELY MARKET" is a heartwarming love song inspired by a real supermarket chain. It depicts a simple love story that begins with an encounter between a young man working in the produce department and a regular female customer, and sings of hope for their future.

The song is a mixture of the composer's real-life experiences and imagination, and later became the origin of the actual store name "Gyutora Lovely XX Store. The package design of the store's private brand product "Tri-kun Milk" was used for the CD jacket that was once released, expressing the deep connection between the song and the store.

The word "joy" used on the new distribution jacket has a special meaning. These were the last words of the composer's grandmother, the wife of the founder of the supermarket chain. This concept of "joy" has now been passed down as the corporate philosophy "GYUTORA no Kotoba" and is conveyed in training programs for new employees.

LOVELY MARKET" is used in various situations such as in-store background music and time signal guidance, and is familiar to many shoppers. In this distribution, shoppers can enjoy this heartwarming song in a new version by Kokoro-chan.

This song gently sings about the little happinesses in our daily lives, the hearts that cherish people's joys, and the essence of business. Through the story of love that unfolds in the familiar setting of a supermarket, this song brings warmth and joy to the hearts of those who listen.
