Recommended autumn songs for people in their 90s: A collection of Shōwa-era autumn songs (21–30)
The sound of insectsMonbushō shōka
First published in 1910 in the Elementary School Reader Songs and later selected in 2006 for the “100 Japanese Songs,” this is a Ministry of Education school song.
The piece portrays the sounds of insects heard on autumn nights as if they were a beautiful ensemble.
You know the pine crickets and bell crickets, but do you know which insect appears next? In fact, it was originally a katydid, but in 1932 it was changed to a cricket.
This revision was made because “kirigirisu” was once an old term that referred to crickets.
Even among older generations, you might find people split into the katydid camp and the cricket camp.
Talking about that while everyone sings together could make for a delightful time.
Song of the Four SeasonsSakushi sakkyoku: Araki Toyohisa
Under the gentle sunshine of spring, a timeless Showa-era classic resonates deep in the heart.
In Toyohisa Araki’s work, the beauty of Japan’s four seasons and his feelings toward people are exquisitely captured within a warm melody.
Born from gratitude toward nurses during a hospital stay, this piece was introduced on Nippon Broadcasting’s “Aozora Wide,” where it received an overwhelming response, and Yoko Seri’s performance went on to become a million seller.
The tenderly drawn seasonal scenes and the deep affection for friends and family evoke a tranquil passage of time.
It’s a wonderful song that invites you to reminisce and reflect on bonds with loved ones.
Perfect for a relaxing music recreation session for seniors.
