Kyoko Koizumi – I'm Glad I Met You (Official Video)

This is a gem of a single released by Kyoko Koizumi in May 1991, one that represents the pinnacle of her career.

At the time of its release, rumors suggested the lyrics drew on her own romantic experiences, but in fact she wrote them to express gratitude to her father, imagining Masakazu Tamura—who played the father in the drama “Papa to Natchan”—as a lover figure.

That approach may have given the song a universality, allowing it to resonate with many as a love song.

As the theme song for the TBS drama “Papa to Natchan,” it captured countless hearts, spent a total of five weeks at No.

1 on the Oricon charts, sold over a million copies, and won the Lyricist Award at the 33rd Japan Record Awards—truly a classic that defined its era.

When you want to say “thank you” to someone dear, its warm melody and vocals will gently give you the courage to do so.
