[Chorus] This Is the Friendship Factory

An entrance ceremony is a place where you meet new friends for the first time.

Some children may feel anxious.

This work is aimed at those children, carrying a message to the friends with whom they’ll be spending fun times together.

You can almost feel the warm spring air, and it gives a cozy feeling.

Published as a magazine supplement in April 2014, this song features a very bright and energetic melody that leaves a strong impression.

At an entrance ceremony, you might be sitting next to a child you don’t know at all.

But once you start singing together, before you realize it, you’ve become good friends! It’s also recommended to sing it together with the children to ease the tension of the entrance ceremony.
