Though White Roses Bloom — Ichirō Fujiyama

With its upbeat tempo and the fashionable, modern words found in its lyrics, the popular song of the time “Even Though the White Roses Bloom” was a hit composed by Masao Koga with lyrics by Sonosuke Sato.

It served as the theme song for the 1937 film of the same title, performed by Ichiro Fujiyama, famed for “Blue Mountain Range.” His resonant, classically trained vocals are especially captivating.

Where is spring? Ichirō Fujiyama, Akiko Futaba

Haruhai Izuko (Where Is Spring?) is a song released in 1940 (Showa 15) by the golden combo of Showa-era popular music: lyrics by Saijō Yaso, composition by Koga Masao, and vocals by Akiko Futaba and Ichirō Fujiyama.

A film of the same title was released in the same year, and, as was common with popular songs of the time, this piece served as its theme song.

Incidentally, there is another theme song for the same film, Natsukashi no Utagoe (Nostalgic Singing Voice), for which the lyricist, composer, and singers are all the same; in fact, Haru yo Izuko was issued as the B-side to the Natsukashi no Utagoe record.

While both sets of lyrics share a sentimental tone in keeping with the film’s story, Haru yo Izuko is characterized by a more melancholy, plaintive melody and mood compared to the bright, up-tempo feel of Natsukashi no Utagoe.

If you’re interested, I encourage you to listen to both and compare them.

Iwaki City Song (Ichiro Fujiyama)

There was a song about Iwaki City, but it’s unclear how well-known it actually is among people who live there.

The tune has a cheer-song vibe, and judging from the introduction video it features Iwaki’s famous tourist spots and history, but I had to laugh when the Maruto supermarket showed up.

It’s a well-known supermarket locally.

Radio Calisthenics SongFujiyama Ichirō14rank/position

Radio Taiso Song (Full Version)

This is a McDonald’s breakfast (Asa-Mac) commercial featuring Junichi Okada and Anna Yamada as senior and junior colleagues.

When Okada laments that they have to go out on sales rounds earlier than usual, Yamada suggests they can stop by for breakfast at McDonald’s.

The scene of the two happily enjoying their breakfast as he exclaims, “Why didn’t I think of that?!” leaves a strong impression.

The background music is the Morning Image Radio Calisthenics Song.

Many people likely know this tune well from childhood, as it was released in 1956.

By the way, did you know that this “Radio Calisthenics Song” is actually the third version?
