My father’s songZushi Tamami64rank/position
The crisp sound of the acoustic guitar feels great! This is a song by Tamami Zushi, a musician from Kanagawa Prefecture.
It’s included on the 2011 album “Kizuna/Tsubasa wo Kudasai.” The lyrics, told from a daughter’s perspective, express feelings for a hardworking father who is steadily growing older.
The straightforward melody and words are wonderful.
Goodbyedōyō65rank/position
The children’s song “Goodbye” depicts seeing off a father as he heads out to work and other activities.
The lyrics were written by Yoshimi Sato, a nursery rhyme lyricist and poet known for songs like “The Policeman Dog,” and the music was composed by Koyo Kawamura, the composer of pieces such as “Seagull Sailor.” In the lyrics, farewells are said not only to the father but also to friends and a pet dog.
However, it is by no means a sad song; it portrays the everyday “goodbyes” that arise from ordinary daily events.
Why not sing it on Father’s Day while thinking of fathers who go out to work for their families, come rain or wind?
A small nutdōyō66rank/position
The children’s song “Chiisana Ki no Mi” (A Little Nut) sings about autumn memories with one’s father.
It is based on a piece composed by the French composer Georges Bizet, and it became popular in Japan after being broadcast on NHK’s Minna no Uta in 1971.
The lyrics, which depict casual memories with a father and the sudden recollection of striking words, carry a touch of poignancy.
Many older adults, too, likely have various memories of their fathers.
Singing it on Father’s Day might be a lovely way to recall a wide range of father-related memories through the seasons.
FatherReeSya67rank/position
The track “Father,” released by ReeSya in 2012, brims with a father’s love.
It’s hard to notice, even when living together, just how much your dad truly cares for you.
But at turning points—like moving out on your own or getting married—when it suddenly hits you, that kindness can really move you to tears.
If you haven’t talked much with your father, or if you’ve been avoiding him for a long time, why not use this song as a chance to sit down and have a heartfelt conversation with him?
fatherKitajima Saburō68rank/position
Saburo Kitajima is known as a heavyweight in the enka world and for having closed out NHK’s Kōhaku Uta Gassen many times.
His voice carries a profound weight, making it clear why he’s called a master.
This song, released as a single in 2002, is titled “Chichioya,” read as “Oyaji” (Dad).
Sung from a male perspective, it portrays a father’s presence and greatness, leaving you with the sense that no matter how hard you try, you can never surpass your father’s stature.
Rugged yet filled with love and tenderness, it’s a song that will make many listeners want to become that kind of father themselves.
Thanks.RSP69rank/position
This song, overflowing with gratitude as it made me realize that I am alive here thanks to the support and encouragement of those around me, reminds us not to assume others will just understand, but to recognize the importance of putting into words how significant that person truly is.
piggyback ride on the shouldersKumurisora70rank/position
Singer-songwriter Kumurisora, who focuses on moving, tear-jerking songs.
Her track “Kataguruma” (“Piggyback on the Shoulders”) is another that brings tears—and makes you want to see your father.
Even if you don’t remember clearly, don’t you recall the scene of your dad lifting you onto his shoulders when you were little? The lyrics evoke those nostalgic images so vividly that you may find yourself in tears.
It’s a song that makes anyone suddenly feel a bittersweet nostalgia—and perhaps want to express gratitude to their father.
