Thank you—hometownIssei Tsushima

Thank you ~ Hometown <New Song> Sung by Issei Tsushima

Issei Tsushima is a singer from Nagasaki Prefecture.

His style is rooted in Showa-era kayōkyoku with a touch of enka.

While he isn’t widely known nationwide, he has a devoted fan base in Kyushu, especially in Nagasaki.

In 2022, he ran in the House of Councillors election for the Fukuoka district, so those from Fukuoka may have seen him.

Among his songs, the one I particularly recommend as a masterpiece expressing gratitude to one’s parents is “Arigatou ~ Furusato.” It’s a mature piece, so it could be perfect for someone in their 50s to use as a song to convey thanks to their parents.

I’m glad I met you.Koizumi Kyoko

Kyoko Koizumi – I'm Glad I Met You (Official Video)

This is a gem of a single released by Kyoko Koizumi in May 1991, one that represents the pinnacle of her career.

At the time of its release, rumors suggested the lyrics drew on her own romantic experiences, but in fact she wrote them to express gratitude to her father, imagining Masakazu Tamura—who played the father in the drama “Papa to Natchan”—as a lover figure.

That approach may have given the song a universality, allowing it to resonate with many as a love song.

As the theme song for the TBS drama “Papa to Natchan,” it captured countless hearts, spent a total of five weeks at No.

1 on the Oricon charts, sold over a million copies, and won the Lyricist Award at the 33rd Japan Record Awards—truly a classic that defined its era.

When you want to say “thank you” to someone dear, its warm melody and vocals will gently give you the courage to do so.

Released in May 2007, the song was featured as the ending theme for Nippon TV’s “Uta Sta!!” and Fuji TV’s “Ken Shimura no Daijoubu Da II,” and was also used in commercials for Hoyu’s “Beauteen.” Singing of a love that deepens over time, this track is recommended as a gift for special occasions when you want to say thank you—such as graduations, weddings, and birthdays.
