HERO is the single that's out in November,Boku wa kuma is the b-side track.Boku wa bear is gonna be used for promotional on merchendise of some sort.That's partly why it was revealed beforehand.

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

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.

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)

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.

u know what?? hikki should make an english single!..ya u know! she should prolly try again in the U.S this time wit a single but the single has to be good..like the lyrics..

Kuma Chang is humoured (only) to be presented to Hikki from K ( I dont remember exactly her husband ) in her birthday
And Hikki bring Kuma everywhere she goes...Oh it's Kawaiii..I will buy one to be like Utada

Ya, It's name is : I'm a bear
And perhaps a single :HERO is also delivered in the future

hikki prolly loves the teddy bear more than her husband!
