Those songs are sung in Japanese, but they have roman letters
expression for Japanese (kana) characters of each notes. They also
have English translation of the song lyrics.
Those scores are generally available in Japan, but I do not know
whether they are available outside Japan, too.

It is a choral song set (4 movements) based on seasonal Japanese kid's songs. It can be sung by choirs of any level. It is one of the most well-written choral songs in Japanese which can be easily performed by non-Japanese speakers. It would be a great multi-cultural choral repatoire for the concert, and probably one of the best repertoire for tour in Japan.
