My dad’s emailKetsumeishi
This work gently portrays the bond between parent and child, centered on the theme of a warm message from a father.
Through the father’s awkward way of speaking and his unfamiliarity with digital devices, heartfelt feelings that are hard to fully express are carefully conveyed.
Added as a track on the July 2014 album “KETSUNOPOLIS 9,” the song blends Ketsumeishi’s signature hip-hop and reggae sound with heartwarming lyrics.
The music video features actors Kotaro Shiga and Hirotaro Honda, who superbly depict a father’s deep affection.
It’s the perfect song to prompt you to look back on memories with family you haven’t been in touch with for years, or to express gratitude to your father.
We also recommend listening to it together with your family.

This is a ballad infused with deep gratitude and respect for a father.
Honest words blend with a heartwarming melody to create a song that truly stirs the heart.
Born from a promise Hajime made to his father, the piece gently wraps the parent–child bond in a unique style that combines tender, conversational singing with powerful rap.
Included on the album “Cho Hajibam 3.”, it was released on October 5, 2016.
It’s perfect for listening to and singing together during a calm afternoon at a day-service center.
While sharing feelings for a beloved father, this heartwarming song lets you bask in nostalgic memories.

The song I’d like you to sing while reflecting on the life your father has walked is Masaharu Fukuyama’s “Michi Shirube” (Signpost).
Released in 2009 as the B-side to the single “Keshin,” this song was written by Fukuyama with his grandmother in mind.
Just like Fukuyama’s grandmother, perhaps your elderly father also worked hard for his family and showed you the path you should take.
Think of your father’s hardships, hold the feelings he gave you close to your heart, and try singing it on Father’s Day.

The children’s song “Chiisana Ki no Mi” (A Little Nut) sings about autumn memories with one’s father.
It is based on a piece composed by the French composer Georges Bizet, and it became popular in Japan after being broadcast on NHK’s Minna no Uta in 1971.
The lyrics, which depict casual memories with a father and the sudden recollection of striking words, carry a touch of poignancy.
Many older adults, too, likely have various memories of their fathers.
Singing it on Father’s Day might be a lovely way to recall a wide range of father-related memories through the seasons.

Husbands, here’s a song that lets you look back on youthful memories with your wives: Ichiro Fujiyama’s “Aoi Sebiro de” (In a Blue Suit), released in 1937.
It’s a poignant piece that captures the frustrating feeling of being unable to take that final step on a date with the woman you love, even as your feelings continue to grow stronger.
For couples who became husband and wife after going through such a bittersweet period, it’s a tune you can sing while fondly saying, “We had times like that, didn’t we?” This Father’s Day, try singing it while thinking of your beloved husband or wife, from your own point of view.
My Father’s Longest Daysadamasashi
Masashi Sada, a veteran singer-songwriter whose heartfelt lyrics and conversational singing style draw you deeply into his music.
“Oyaji no Ichiban Nagai Hi” (Father’s Longest Day) captures the reflections of a son who, as an adult, recalls his father from years past.
It tells, in story form, the long, rough-hewn life of a father—from the birth of his daughter, through her growth into adulthood, until the day she marries.
It’s a song you’ll want dads who have worked hard at raising their children to listen to on Father’s Day.
