We present a piece that beautifully portrays the charm of Japan’s four seasons.

This classic song richly depicts the tea-picking scene from Hachijūhachi-ya into early summer.

As the tranquil weather continues, you can picture people wearing vermilion sashes and sedge hats, diligently picking tea to the warmth of heartfelt singing.

Included in 1912 in “Elementary School Songs for the Third Grade,” it conveys the lifestyle of the time and the changing seasons to the present day.

Please listen with a relaxed mind as you recall nostalgic landscapes.

It may also spark fond memories and lively conversations with family and friends.

MaybeKobayashi Sachiko

A timeless classic that poignantly portrays the mingling of doubt and certainty toward a loved one.

The emotionally rich duet by Sachiko Kobayashi and Katsuhiko Miki resonates deeply.

Following the original version released in January 1984, a duet version came out in April of the same year.

The lyrics are captivating, with memorable scenes of the night and conversations in the rain.

With a gentle tempo and a not-too-wide vocal range, it’s easy to sing—highly recommended as a nostalgic choice for karaoke.

Why not sing it at a relaxed pace while reminiscing about precious moments with someone special?
