Sora Sora SomenHanada Yuuichirou, Ono Atsuko
Released in June 2021, “Sora Sora Somen” is a fun, striking song with a real impact—especially with the somen noodles dancing around! Sung from the perspective of flowing somen, the lyrics freshly and adorably depict the noodle’s feelings as it’s boiled and eaten cold.
It’s great for dancing with kids, and it sounds fun to sing while cooking somen together.
Plus, since it has a Soran-bushi-style rhythm, dancing to it like Soran-bushi would be super fun too.
Definitely give it a try!
