Learn Japanese with JapanesePod101.com! You overhear someone humming some Japanese lyrics, which seem to celebrate a crow. You find that odd, since back home, the crows seem to be noisy, annoying birds. When you share your opinion with your Japanese host, he begins to caw like a crow. Then he starts belting out the same Japanese lyrics you heard earlier. What is it about crows that the Japanese find song-worthy?
In this lesson, you will learn about the Japanese song Nanatsu No Ko, which means “Seven-Year Old Child.” We’ll tell you about the lyricist of this Japanese song and explain what its Japanese verses mean. By the end of this Japanese lesson, you’ll find something to crow about too!
