With the release of the song, Japan wants to tell the world about one of its national prides: Food Culture. The concept was first introduced to the Muten Kura Sushi chain on August 13th in Osaka and with its up-tempo composition and simple lyrics, the song is suitable for both adult and child audiences alike. The project first formed earlier this year when Tsunku♂ was asked by the chain to produce a campaign song for their brand.
