The lyrics were selected through a public contest, and the music was composed by Ikuma Dan, with references throughout the lyrics to the region’s rich natural features, such as the Genkai Sea, the Ariake Sea, and Mount Tenzan.

Its stately melody evokes the pride of the prefecture’s residents and hope for the future.

A flexi disc was produced at the time, and a choral arrangement was performed in 2005, reflecting how the piece has been sung for many years.

A single song depicting a protagonist who, on the verge of graduation, can’t bring themselves to confess their feelings to a crush.

A heartwarming masterpiece based on a true story, included on the album “You Are My Treasure.” It’s a song of youthful memories that portrays living together with a slightly older couple and hopes for the future, and it remains a long-standing favorite among fans.

The overall vocal range is C#3–A4, with relatively calm lines in the verses and pre-chorus, then a slight rise in range from the chorus.

For the low notes, make sure not to let the resonance drop too much—focus on resonating in the head.

If that’s difficult, try raising your hand toward your head and aim your voice at your hand.

Keeping your attention upward will naturally lift your eyebrows, too.
