Lyrics

Japanese

ゆけゆけハッチ　みつばちハッチ
とべとべハッチ　みなしごハッチ
姿やさしい　もんしろ蝶々
おどけバッタに　テント虫
みんな友達　仲間だけれど
母さんほしかろ　恋しかろ
ゆけゆけハッチ　みつばちハッチ
とべとべハッチ　みなしごハッチ　ハッチ

ゆけゆけハッチ　みつばちハッチ
とべとべハッチ　みなしごハッチ　ハッチ

Song Connections / Remixes

• みなしごハッチ is a cover of the opening of the 1970 anime Konchuu monogatari Minashigo Hutch (昆虫物語みなしごハッチ), known in English as The Adventures of Hutch the Honeybee.

Trivia

• The Japanese words for "bee" and "8" sound very similar (they are both read as "hachi"), hence the genre name.
• みなしごハッチ has never been in a CS pop'n music release.
  • Coincidentally, both みなしごハッチ and the other pop'n music 8 licensed song that was also absent from CS releases, THUNDER BIRDS, were removed in the next arcade game.
    • However, both songs have unused graphical data in pop'n music 8 CS, pointing that at an early point of development they were planned to be included in that game.
• みなしごハッチ, much like the genres for ウルトラセブンの歌 and 誰がために, references the number of the pop'n music game it debuted on.
  • According to wac, the original genre that the pop'n music staff had planned for みなしごハッチ was みなしご ("minashigo").
• みなしごハッチ's charts were created by Naya~n, his only contribution to pop'n music 8.
  • According to wac, Hiroki was very busy composing music for the KONAMI arcade game Shutsugeki! Sengoku Kakumei (出撃！戦国革命), which is why he couldn't write a new song for pop'n music 8, but he helped do the charts for みなしごハッチ in the end.
