Green Tree Memories from Kirby

|
"Green Tree Memories from Kirby" (sometimes referred to as "Green Tree Memories" for short) is a song which was composed for and is featured in the staff credits for Super Kirby Clash. It is notable for being the first song in a Kirby game which has sung vocals, as opposed to an instrumental that merely provides lyrics, such as "The Noble Haltmann" or "Song of Supplication". The Japanese version of the song plays in-game if the system language is set to Japanese and the English version otherwise.

Lyrics[edit]
Now that I found you and you found me
One, two, three and maybe four…
Underneath the big green tree
Even when the times are kind of rough
Sun shining down in the springtime
Underneath the big green tree
Even though the times are kind of rough
Raise up the spirit of your sword
Now that I found you and you found me
キミと 僕らが出会い 思い出を語る MEMORIES
一人よりも 二人 三人より 四人
大きな 緑の木 みるみる 実ったら
涙 枯れ果てても くじけちゃっても
ポカポカ 春の日も ブルブル 雪の日も
大きな 赤い実が みるみる 実ったら
涙 枯れ果てても くじけちゃっても
キミと 僕らが出会い 思い出を語る MEMORIES

Other appearances[edit]
In The Sound of Kirby Café 2, "Green Tree Memories from Kirby" received an orchestral remix without sung lyrics called いつか、その夢も (Some day, it will come true).
The Japanese version of the song was performed live for the Kirby 30th Anniversary Music Festival, where it was sung by Makiko Ohmoto.
Both the English and Japanese versions of the song, edited to loop infinitely and without the intro, re-appear in Kirby's Dream Buffet as music that could potentially play during races and Free Rolling after reaching Gourmet Rank 101, named Super Kirby Clash: Memorial Song 2 in-game. Much like with "Kirby and the Forgotten Land: Bonus Song 3" and "Kirby 30th Music Fest: HAL Laboratory Dream Band Song", this song keeps playing during the minigame portion instead of switching to a different piece of music.
The short version of "Green Tree Memories from Kirby" is featured in an officially licensed collection of Kirby sheet music published by Yamaha Corporation.[1]
Trivia[edit]
- Much like "The Apple Juice Song", the official music video and lyrics imply that this song is sung by Bandana Waddle Dee.
