KintaroSakushi: Ishihara Wasaburō / Sakkyoku: Tamura Torazō
This is a children’s song that depicts a sturdy boy wrestling a bear on Mount Ashigara.
Written by Wasaburō Ishihara and composed by Torazō Tamura, it was published in June 1900 in “Shōnen Shōka, First Edition, Upper Volume.” As a representative children’s song that sings about a folktale hero in words familiar to children, it remains beloved today.
The bold figure carrying a hatchet and practicing horse-riding is vividly expressed through a lively two-beat rhythm and spirited calls that make it easy to sing while moving the body.
Because it conveys strength and energy, it’s perfect for singing with children in childcare settings or at home who are starting to take an interest in animals and folktales.

Released in October 2003 as the band’s second major-label single, it was used as the ending theme for TBS’s “Pooh!” and TV Tokyo’s “JAPAN COUNTDOWN.” With its structure of power-chord and octave guitar work and a relatively singable melody line, it’s a rock tune recommended for players who’ve gotten comfortable with band performance.

Give it a listen when you’re chasing your dreams or when you want to look back on days spent with cherished friends.
