Trivia

  • Composer Kazumi Totaka spoke about the song in an interview about City Folk's soundtrack in volume 182 of Nintendo Dream.[1] He discussed the meaning of the Japanese song title, explaining he found the idea of a forgotten blue rice ball to be sad, and was able to compose the melody quickly after the idea.
