A monster from SagaUMATENA
This is a cheer song by the idol group UMATENA, produced in conjunction with Saga Horse Racing’s 2025 slogan.
It embodies Saga Racing’s passionate wish to send powerful racehorses from the regions to the big stage, and its straightforward lyrics—declaring that dreams come true when spoken aloud—have surely given courage to many listeners.
Boasting an emotional, catchy melody that transcends idol pop, the track was released in January 2025, first performed at the group’s first-anniversary live show in April of the same year, and drew major attention for featuring the first-ever animated music video in regional horse racing history, created by Cygames Saga Studio.
It’s a fiery, passionate piece that stirs the hearts of anyone striving toward their goals.

A catchy J-pop melody you can’t forget once you’ve heard it has been reborn as a heartwarming song about Saga.
Mayuno Hibi, a versatile impressionist entertainer, delivers a humorous parody that sets Saga dialect and local “relatable moments” to a familiar tune.
The charm of this track may lie in how it cleverly uses the original song’s “instruction manual” framework to lovingly introduce the temperament and culture of the people of Saga.
Released in September 2020 as part of a video project, this piece is irresistible for anyone with ties to Saga.
Its easygoing humor invites a chuckle and makes you want to experience the warmth of the region for yourself.

A unique Saga dialect cover of a song that became a social phenomenon, crafted by Nagisa Takazono, an artist based in Saga Prefecture.
By fusing the sharp message of the original with the warm yet powerful Saga dialect, it transforms into something curiously humorous and approachable.
One of the work’s great appeals is how its spirit of defiance toward society comes across like a charming, hometown-style grumble shared among friends.
Released in March 2020, the piece carries the artist’s heartfelt wish to spark interest in Saga.
It’s the perfect track for anyone who wants to experience the expressive richness of dialects from a completely different angle than the original.
