Song "My Town" of Chuo-ku

Do you know "ward song (my town)" of Chuo-ku?
It was created in March 1987 to commemorate the 40th anniversary of the central ward system.
From May 15 to July 15 of the previous year, suitable for the symbol of the ward
We solicited lyrics, and from the submitted works (81 entries), Mr. Tadao Araki
The work was selected. This is arranged by the lyricist Tokiko Iwatani.
Composer Naozumi Yamamoto made a song and "Kuku Uta" was completed.

It's a personal impression, but somehow it feels like Showa retro.
It was an impression that it was a school song as I heard, but I think it's an easy-to-sing song.
You can listen to ward songs on the homepage of Chuo-ku in video.
It is interesting that the song is flowing in the background of the scenery in the city.

. Song "My Town" of Chuo-ku

　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　
1
　Sunlight in the eastern sky
　The gorgeousness of Tokyo
　The town of kana, my town
　Oedo's culture
　The dream of the future is born here
　Vigorous and lively
　My town is alive, Chuo-ku
2
　There are flowing rivers and seas
　Abundance that continues to the world
　The town I built, my town.
　A place where power and wisdom can be shared
　All the paths begin here
　A healthy and healthy person lives
　A healthy town, Chuo-ku
3
　The waves of the moon
　The wind of the season is also beautiful.
　The town of living, my town
　A place where you can interact with your heart
　The good work gathers here
　Love always has love
　My town with love Oh, Chuo-ku
