The piece is written for Guangzhou Children's Palace Choir in the People's Republic of China in 2010, wishing the delicate nuances and delightful rhythms of Japanese language to be know to the people around the world. The original song of this work is a traditional Japanese children's song, which has been usually sung while bouncing a handball. It should be sung in a fast tempo with good pace and a jaunty rhythm to evoke a cheerful and humorous mood.

These choral songs are commissioned by Sakura Junior Choir in Chiba prefecture, which consists of kindergarten through university students, so the composer wrote each song by carefully taking the performing members ages into consideration. He regards the children's songs are the last only conscience of the human beings adn the primal truth which have survived in this modern age. Therefore he is going to work earnestly and sincerely for children's voice more than ever.
"My Intuition by caeru FROG takuo" is an unaccompanied piece written for the performers roughly above the third and the fourth grades of elementary school.. It might be possible to sing from the younger children of the advanced choir.
"A Summer Festival by Kamakiri MANTIS Ryuji" is a piece with piano accompaniment for the kindergarten and the lower grade pupils. Younger children should sing this song vigorously.
"A-I-U-E-Hoy!" is an unaccompanied song, of which the intended singers are above the higher classes of primary school. The variety of tone colours should be created by the frequently occurring changes of harmoney. "A" and "N" which appear in the last solo part need to be articulated impressively with a gesture.
"A Midnight Lullaby" is a piece with piano accompaniment and handbells. Performance without handbells is also possible. It is a lot of fun for children to sing this piece with their parents together.
"An Exciting Moment bu Konezumi MOUSE Shun" is a piece with piano accompaniment. It is possible for children under the lower grade to perform by singing the main melody. They should sing vigorously with a sense of speed.
