That gentle girlsupittsu

Some of you might know it because it was also the theme song for the NHK morning drama series Natsuzora.

The anime-style opening was distinctive, wasn’t it? I love that the lyrics aren’t bluntly straightforward—you might relate if you’re a fan of Spitz.

The phrasing that echoes the melody and overall tone is wonderful.

I recommend it to elementary school kids who are highly sensitive and love music! Give it a careful listen; I think you’ll feel the scenery of Hokkaido and a message full of kindness.
