The opening ceremony of "Yao Junior High School", which was formed by integrating two junior high schools in Toyama City, was held, and Rie Shibata, a local actor who wrote the lyrics for the new school song, talked about her thoughts on the lyrics.
The former Yatsuo Junior High School and Sugihara Junior High School, which were located in Yatsuo Town, Toyama City, were integrated against the backdrop of a decrease in the number of students, and from this year they became the new Yatsuo Junior High School, and the opening ceremony was held.
Approximately 300 second and third graders attended the ceremony, and after the school opening declaration was made, Shinzo Numata, a third grader on behalf of the students, said, "I am excited about my future school life. I want to build the history and traditions of junior high school. "
The new school song is from the local Yatsuo town, so actor Rie Shibata wrote the lyrics, and Shibata asked singer-songwriter Kousetsu Minami to compose the song.
Mr. Shibata also visited the school and said, "I want you to remember the school song in your long life and become a person who encourages everyone."
Immediately after this, the students performed a school song in front of Mr. Shibata and were excited to start a new school life.
A boy in the third grade said, "The good points of Yao and Sugihara are combined and it is a very good school song. I want everyone to be able to sing well."
