Tsutaya's song comment(excerpt)
The school song was created with the goal of "cultivating global human resources with civic pride" in words that today's students can sing naturally, rather than using forceful or outdated language.
Rather than relying on tourist symbols, we portray the essence of Niseko as the scenery and atmosphere found in everyday life, emphasizing a "universality" that remains as a source of inspiration even after graduation.
Throughout the song, we paid attention to the sound of vowels and the simplicity of the words, so that the words would not become muddled when the students sang in unison.
We aim to create a school song that combines the solemnity of ceremonies with the open atmosphere of a modern school.
