I recently received this email:
Hi… don’t know if you would be able to help me.. but I’m looking for a Japanese song about Teddy Bears – I was told the title is KOUMA – but can’t seem to find it on the net.
Would you know where I can locate this video?
Thank you
Sincerely
Providencia Morillo
If anyone can help with the lyrics to this song or if you know where to find the video, please comment below.
Thanks!
Lisa

That you for pointing out that “bear” in Japanese is commonly spelled as kuma in Romanji.
There is a famous Japanese song right now called “Boku wa Kuma” (???????, “Boku wa Kuma” lit. I’m a Bear) by Hikaru Utada.
You can find the full lyrics to Boku wa Kuma on Wikipedia.
Here’s the 1st verse from Wikipedia:
Romaji Lyrics
Boku wa kuma kuma kuma kuma
Kuruma ja nai yo kuma kuma kuma
Arukenai kedo odoreru yo
Shaberarenai kedo utaeru yo
Boku wa kuma kuma kuma kuma
English Translation
I am a bear bear bear bear
I am not a car bear bear bear
I can’t walk but I can dance
I can’t talk but I can sing
I am a bear bear bear bear
Is this what you’re looking for?
