Ulfuls – Guts da ze!!

A song that’s sure to give you a push—powered by day‑to‑day effort, punchy vocals, and the energetic spirit of Ulfuls.

With its frank, breezy, and manly vibe, this artist’s world—where everyone who listens, men and women alike, will feel energized—can truly be called a classic Father’s Day cheer song.

Dad.haji→

Hajime → 'Oyaji.' Music Video

It’s a message song from a son to his father.

It’s by Haji→, a singer-songwriter from Miyagi Prefecture, and was included on his third major-label album, Cho-Hajibum 3, released in 2016.

The beautiful tone of the piano really touches the heart.

There are probably many dads who would tear up if their son said, “Someday I want to be like you.” Let’s make them cry.

HOMEKiyama Yusaku

Yusaku Kiyama - Home

Yusaku Kiyama, whose talent was recognized after performing a cover song on a TV music show, began his singing career in 2008.

His debut single, “home,” became so popular that he appeared on the year-end NHK Kōhaku Uta Gassen.

The lyrics convey, from a father’s perspective, the tangible happiness of life with his children and the joy of watching them grow.

So, if a dad deliberately listens to this song on Father’s Day and recommends it to his son or daughter, he might just receive the gift of a song in return!

PaPaMAY’S

[Father's Day] PaPa / MAY'S [Dedicated to fathers across the country]

Lyrics that express feelings for a father who lives far away.

It’s a song by the male–female duo MAY’S, included on their fifth album, “Kissing,” released in 2014.

The warm melody and vocals are soothing.

It’s exactly the kind of song you’d call a Father’s Day anthem! If you sang it in front of your dad, he might just cry.

My Father’s Longest Daysadamasashi

Masashi Sada — The Longest Day of My Father — from the Sanzenkai Memorial Concert

Masashi Sada, a veteran singer-songwriter whose reflective lyrics and intimate, conversational singing style deepen your immersion in a song.

“Oyaji no Ichiban Nagai Hi” (Father’s Longest Day) conveys the feelings of a son who, upon becoming an adult, looks back on his father from years past.

It tells, in a story-like way, the long, gritty life of a father—from the birth of his daughter, through her growth into adulthood, all the way to her marriage.

It’s a perfect song to play on Father’s Day for dads who have worked hard raising their children.

To my fatherZushi Sankyōdai

Zushi Three Brothers “To Father” from Shonan Broadway

There are quite a few men who give up their dreams out of a sense of responsibility after having a child.

A message of gratitude to such a father—written from the perspective of a grown son who has come to understand his father’s deep love—also serves as a declaration of resolve between two men, expressing the wish that his own existence can become an even greater dream.

Remember MeIshibashi Hiiro

Remember Me (Japanese Version)

At the young age of 13, Hiiro Ishibashi provided the Japanese dub for the main character in Disney and Pixar’s film “Coco.” He’s known for his beautifully pure singing voice that makes it hard to tell whether it’s a boy or a girl.

In “Coco,” the protagonist and his father are key figures, and I recommend listening to this song while thinking of the father—you’ll find it easy to get emotionally drawn in.

It evokes the image of a warm-hearted dad who watches over you from afar and always showers you with love, so it might even bring you to tears.
