Picnic

A picnic on a sun-drenched lawn with the one you love.

But your sweetheart beside you is fast asleep…

It’s the kind of heartwarming scene that brings a smile to your face—captured in a song by Mayo Okamoto.

This track is included on the classic million-selling album “Hello,” released in April 1998.

With whimsical, story-like touches—like a lizard suddenly appearing or a lively children’s chorus that seems to say “Wake up!”—the song’s cuteness is even more charming.

The protagonist’s laid-back mood blends with the bustling surroundings to create a blissful world that makes the listener feel happy too.

It’s perfect not only for a leisurely day off with your partner, but also for a lively picnic with friends—sure to bring a happy time.

Its fantastical setting—featuring a tin pianist and various animals—beautifully overlaps with the sense of the extraordinary you feel on a picnic.
