March of 365 StepsSuizenji Kiyoko
This song has long been loved as an anthem of encouragement in life, carrying the message that taking one step at a time is important.
Since its release in November 1968, it has continued to resonate with many people.
Born during Japan’s period of rapid economic growth, the song is characterized by its cheerful melody and positive lyrics.

Goodbyedōyō
The children’s song “Goodbye” depicts seeing off a father as he heads out to work and other activities.
The lyrics were written by Yoshimi Sato, a nursery rhyme lyricist and poet known for songs like “The Policeman Dog,” and the music was composed by Koyo Kawamura, the composer of pieces such as “Seagull Sailor.” In the lyrics, farewells are said not only to the father but also to friends and a pet dog.
However, it is by no means a sad song; it portrays the everyday “goodbyes” that arise from ordinary daily events.
Why not sing it on Father’s Day while thinking of fathers who go out to work for their families, come rain or wind?
