[Official] Kohei Fukuda “Father and Son Hawks” [Official Music Video Short ver.]

There is a saying, “A kite gives birth to a hawk,” which means a child surpasses their parent.

In contrast, ‘Oyako-daka’ means that both the parent and the child are outstanding.

Long ago there was a novel with the same title, ‘Oyako-daka,’ whose protagonist is Katsu Kokichi, the father of the famous Katsu Kaishū.

The brilliant Katsu Kaishū and Kokichi—though poor, always acting for the good of society and others—both embody the spirit of these proverbs.

Sakurashimeji “Apolo-rhythm” Music Video

This song, Ayamari-rhythm, sung by the male folk duo Sakura Shimeji, was released as a single in 2017 and served as the ending theme for the anime Tomica Hyper Rescue Drive Head: Kidō Kyūkyū Keisatsu.

Rather than putting the spotlight squarely on a quarrel, it’s more about what comes after—an apology song, as the title suggests.

It’s a cute “I’m sorry” track that sings about the regret of having fought and the feelings you only realize because you argued.

A Man Who Summons StormsIshihara Yūjirō

Yujiro Ishihara: The Man Who Causes a Storm

Yujiro Ishihara, who made his name as the boss of Ishihara Promotion and as a star emblematic of the Showa era.

The song Arashi o Yobu Otoko (The Man Who Causes a Storm) is one of Ishihara’s signature numbers, released in 1958, and is also known as the theme song for the film of the same name in which he starred.

The song’s protagonist is a drummer, and the lyrics carry a rough edge, as if he’s pounding the drums like he’s in a fight.

There’s also a spoken section in the middle instead of singing, where you can fully feel the sense of “combat” coursing through the piece.
