Works by this duo include ``Children of the World'' (1987) and ``To Become Friends'' (1987), and for those born in the Heisei era, it is important to understand that children in kindergartens, nursery schools, elementary schools, etc. I think it's a nostalgic song that I've sung before.
In April 1987, these two began serializing their songs in the magazine ``Music Plaza (Monthly Kooyong)'' (Crayon House). "Niji" was published in this magazine in 1991.
In addition to being included in Takeshi Tsuruno's mini-album "Churu no Uta" in 2011, it was also used in the commercial songs of Kao Attack in 2019 and Meiji Yogurt R1 in 2020, and even today it is popular among children. This is a popular song.
