A song born from the feeling of 'I want you to feel better'

I will introduce the 'Tanuki-kyo Theme Song🎵Let's Spread the Circle of Smiles Together'.

There is someone I want to be well.
It's a bit embarrassing to put into words, but
'I'm happy just because you smile'
—don't you have feelings like that?

Today, please let me introduce on note asong and MV I made because I wanted my dear friend 'Ikutsu ni nattemo'tofeel better.

The trigger was very simple.

One day, I suddenly thought,
'Maybe something we can laugh at together is better than words of encouragement.'That was the beginning.It wasn't a long text or a heavy message,


but something you could hum along to that would make you relax a little.
That's when I thought of theTanuki-kyo theme song


.

The thoughts put into the song

'Tanuki-kyo Theme Song: Let's Spread the Circle of Smiles Together'
What I valued most in this song was the distance of


'Let's laugh together' rather than 'Do your best.'• You don't have to push yourself

• You don't have to rush• You are just right as you are today

And,

someone's smile will come back to you in a cycle
.With that image in mind, I thought of the lyrics and had the melody composed.
In the world of Tanuki-kyo

,even if you fail, it's
'Oh well',and even if you feel down, it ends with
'Shall we have some tea?'.I wanted to turn that atmosphere into sound.

The MV also turned my feelings into form just as they were.

For this MV, I valued 'conveying feelings' more than 'making it well.'

Those who joined Tanuki-kyo. Those who joined the circle of smiles.

The movements are simple, and I aimed for visuals that would help you relax a little while watching.
It's the image of gently offering it, saying, 'I tried making this.'

When I wondered what to do for the end of this video, one person came to mind. It is
Kinokoro-san.
When Kinokoro-san posted in the 'Circle of Smiles,' Ikutsu ni nattemo-san was

because they were very happy.

This is Ikutsu ni nattemo-san's post from yesterday.

Kinokoro-san herself said, 'Isn't it too much of me?' but Camerine-chan, Shiba Inu An-chan, Honey Tea-san, and of course Ikutsu ni nattemo-san, no one said anything.

By the way, I didn't ask for permission from everyone in the Circle of Smiles image. I'm sorry. I notified Ikutsu ni nattemo-san and Camerine-chan because I used different images.

So,
▶ You can watch the MV here

▶ Click here if you only want to listen to the song

Although I made it for 'one person'

At first, I thought,
it would be enough if it reached just Ikutsu ni nattemo-san.But while making it, I started to feel,

'Oh, this might reach people who are a little tired right now.'

• People tired of pretending to be energetic

• People looking for a reason to smile• People who can't forgive themselves for not wanting to do anything

At times like that,I would be happy if this song and MV could become a small


resting place.

Finally

Once again.
Ikutsunattemo-san, please get well soon.

And to you who read this, I hope that today,
there is at least one reason for you to smile.If you'd like,


I would be happy if you could gently spread the circle of smiles with this song.

I'm taking tomorrow off to go to
Carp camp. I'm looking forward to it.
