The lyrics sing about the benefits of eating fish, and they include the names of as many as 31 different fish! It’s a familiar tune used as background music in fresh fish sections at supermarkets and department stores nationwide.

I used to go shopping with my mom and heard it often, so before I knew it, I had memorized it.

Masafumi Akikawa is a Japanese tenor who shot to fame with the song “Sen no Kaze ni Natte” (A Thousand Winds).

The song is based on the American poem “Do not stand at my grave and weep,” sung from the perspective of the deceased, and its lyrics are meant to encourage those left behind.
