A new song? And it's about a teddy bear? Aww, that would be so wicked sweet. If it really is a song for Kuma Chang, that's really cute of Utada. I hope we'll get more news of this song.

English or not => I dont know but a song is certainly on sale is I'm a bear ( everyone knows this)
But single: HERO, Im not sure ( humour)

This information comes from the NHK Television website "Minna no Uta". "Minna no Uta" is a short 3 or 4 minute filler show that gets broadcast on NHK with a song and some drawings. It's usually broadcast after some kids' television, so it has to be simple and clean. It will also be broadcast on NHK radio.

I doubt this song will be commercially released on CD, except as part of a "Minna no Uta" compilation available from NHK.

There are a great many pictures of Kuma-chan on Hikki's blog. Translations of the blog entries can be found here.
