The Path of Starlit ShadowsObata Minoru
Minoru Obata’s “Hoshikage no Komichi” (Path in the Starlight) is one of Japan’s representative love songs from the 1950s.
It beautifully depicts the scene of walking with a lover down a quiet night path, accompanied by the scent of acacia.
Its lyrics are full of a romantic atmosphere, as if symbolizing eternal love.
It’s a classic that brought comfort to people’s hearts during the turmoil of the postwar era.
The song has been covered by many artists, including Naomi Chiaki and Masako Mori, and was also used as the theme song for the film The Samurai That Night.
It’s a recommended track when you want to reminisce about nostalgic memories or spend a quiet moment with someone special.
Beyond the SmileYamaguchi Momoe
This is a song released in 1980 by Momoe Yamaguchi, who is still remembered as a star singer.
It’s filled with warm messages from an older sister to her younger sister, who is about to get married.
The younger sister has somehow become a grown woman, yet to the older sister she’s the same girl she used to fuss over, so she can’t help but worry and say all sorts of things.
The sister in this song almost feels like a mother.
But you can feel how precious her younger sister is to her, and how deeply she wishes for her happiness.

While its lyrics speak across generations, I believe they will especially resonate with those who have rich life experience.
Both hands to the starry skyShimakura Chiyoko & Moriya Hiroshi
The duet “Hoshizora ni Ryote o” by Chiyoko Shimakura and Hiroshi Moriya is a romantic, moving classic released in September 1963.
Its enchanting, poetic lyrics—about adorning the starry sky with outstretched hands—are particularly appealing.
While reflecting on past memories, the song also evokes hope for the future.
As you gaze up at the night sky, why not leisurely contemplate life and your bonds with loved ones? Carried by a melody rich with Showa-era sentiment, the duo’s beautiful harmonies resonate deeply in the heart.
