Josai International University school anthem University overview

Lyrics: Shuntaro Tanikawa
Composer: Kensaku Tanikawa

１

Crossing the fragrant bridge
Heading towards the limitless unknown
The campus is a model for the world
Explore new maps
Habatake JIU
beyond the borders of countries

２

Water Kirara Crossing the bridge
Dreaming of a dazzling tomorrow
The campus is the earth itself
It's a melting pot of people learning from each other.
Let's sing JIU
Our hearts intertwine

Listen to school anthem as MP3s

From the lyricist

When I looked at the plans and photos of the new campus, the most impressive thing was the bridge over the pond. Bridges connect one world to another. The world of academia and the real world, Japanese culture and other cultures, women and men, everything and every detail... I want you to look at the potential for harmony hidden within them, without fearing the contradictions. I chose the words with these wishes in mind. I would be happy if the song resonated with everyone's feelings.
