From Tokyo to Hokkaido, From the North Country portrays a family living amidst the great outdoors.

It’s also famous for turning Furano, where the series was filmed, into a tourist attraction.

Did you know that the memorable main theme was composed by Masashi Sada? When Sada was asked to create the piece, he hummed an improvised melody—“Ahh—ah ah ah ah—ah”—which was adopted as is and became the finished song.

It’s surprising to think that such an iconic melody was born by chance!
