By combining the best parts of “Shaun the Sheep” and our songs, we were able to create a very laid back and cute rock song that has a different feel from the songs we usually play. Please enjoy listening to it.

[Comment from Yu Fukagawa]

I wrote it hoping to bridge the gap between the innocence of Shaun the Sheep and the atmospheric worldview of Hitsuji Literature. The moment I heard the song, I realized that my fears were unfounded, but I would be happy if I could add color to the two worlds that intersect. The time I spent working with many professionals to create something was stimulating and fun.

We are very excited about the first collaboration between “Shaun the Sheep” and Japanese rock band “Yoh Bungaku”! When we all heard the special cover of “Life’s a Treat”, the theme song of “Shaun the Sheep”, cheers erupted throughout the studio. The cover by the three members of “Yoh Bungaku” is a very unique and fun arrangement of a well-known song, so we hope that fans around the world will enjoy it.
