This is the ending theme of TBS Television’s NEWS23.

Listening to it leaves you feeling refreshed.

A married couple quarrels over a trivial matter.
The wife leaves her husband behind and heads alone to tea-filled Kyoto.
Surrounded by tea fields like a green carpet, she seems completely refreshed.
The gentle, soothing sound of a violin softly reaches the ears—so pleasant.
It’s a piece you’ll want to enjoy along with images of Kyoto’s tea fields.
Hymn of Ten Thousand PraisesHakasé Tarō
A magnificent instrumental piece by Taro Hakase! Its Japanese-style tones and melody are popular with couples who make their entrance in traditional attire.
We highly recommend opening the doors and making your entrance about 30 seconds in, right when the main theme begins! Tuxedos and wedding dresses are dreamy, of course, but since we were born in Japan, choosing a formal montsuki hakama and a white uchikake is also a wonderful option.
