"Minatomirai Honmachi Elementary School" in Nishi-ku, Yokohama City opened five years ago as the only elementary school in the Minatomirai district with a 10-year term due to the increase in the number of children due to the construction of a large apartment building.
The elementary school is located in a corner where cutting-edge corporate facilities such as the headquarters of an automobile manufacturer and the research institute of a cosmetics manufacturer are gathered, and the entire school is focusing on SDGs education in collaboration with companies.

On the 14th, the recording was held, and about 70 fifth graders sang the school song they made themselves.
One of the girls said, "I hope that people will notice that I have included the idea of SDGs. I would be sad if the elementary school closed, but I was able to leave the school song, so I hope it will spread." was
Principal Kazuhiko Komasa says, "I want it to spread as a cheering song for the SDGs."
