Thank You Very Much — Noriyuki Makihara cover. Dōmo-kun 20th Anniversary campaign song, included on Design & Reason, with lyrics.

This song was created as a special commemorative piece to celebrate the 20th anniversary of NHK’s character Domo-kun.

Conveying twenty years’ worth of “thank yous” from Domo-kun, the song is accompanied by a lovely special movie presented in a drama style.

The lyrics are very simple so that the word “thank you” really comes across, and that simplicity, in turn, seems to highlight the word “thank you” even more.
