A song themed around the Japanese syllabary (a-i-u-e-o) (1–10)
aiue ohoshisamauraimisako
A song that was sung on the children’s TV program “Hirake! Ponkikki,” which aired on Fuji TV.
It has a traditional nursery rhyme style, and the lyrics go through the Japanese syllabary in order.
The singer, Misako Urai, also performs under the names Clapp, Cosmos, and Michiko Yoshida.
A I U E OYU-KI
Included as the final track, number 12, on the 2010 release ROMANTIST THE STALIN: Michiro Endo Tribute Album.
It’s a tribute album commemorating roughly 30 years since THE STALIN’s debut and Michiro Endo reaching his 60th birthday.
Lyrics and music by Michiro Endo.
A must-listen masterpiece for YUKI fans.
A I U E O musicSuzumura Kenichi
Included as a coupling track on the 10th single “All right,” released in 2013.
These lyrics are structured as an acrostic using the Japanese syllabary, with each line starting in order from “a” (あ) to “n” (ん).
Despite its aggressive tone, it’s surprisingly easy to listen to—just what you’d expect from a professional voice actor.
A-I-UuWA-WON・himawari kizzu
On the NHK educational program “Okaasan to Issho,” it was loved as the exercise song from April 1, 1996 to April 1, 2005.
You move your body along with the Japanese syllabary (a-i-u-e-o).
Many of you probably remember the gymnastics big brother, Hiromichi Sato.
Phantom Thief Miracle Boyarukaraidā
The opening theme of the TV anime “Mysterious Joker.” If you pick out the characters enclosed in quotation marks from the lyrics that weave in the Japanese syllabary (a-i-u-e-o), what hidden message will appear…? Cracking the code is so much fun! A masked band, Arukaraider.
The surreal music video is packed with playful spirit, too.
A I U E O music ♬GReeeeN
The opening theme of the TV anime LINE TOWN.
The music video, created in collaboration with LINE’s original characters Moon, James, Brown, and Cony and New York–based, world-renowned choreographer Jonte’ Moaning, is a lot of fun.
It embodies the desire for people to connect more through words.
A I U E OAnjura Aki
Included as the first track on the 2012 release “BLUE.” It’s a short piano-and-vocal piece, but pay attention to the lyrics packed with emotion.
You can’t help but be impressed that so much meaning can be carried by just the Japanese syllables “a-i-u-e-o.” Be sure to check the kanji in the lyric booklet.
