Monorail SongYamano Satoko13rank/position

This is “Monorail no Uta” (“The Monorail Song”), created as a commemorative song for the Tokyo Monorail, which opened in 1964.
The lyrics mention the terminus and the travel time back then, and they straightforwardly express the desire for people to ride the monorail.
Since it’s a Showa-era song, its style differs from today’s music, but it still gives off a cheerful, buoyant vibe.
