school daysPeggy Hayama
Set against the backdrop of a mission school filled with memories, this heartwarming classic by Peggy Hayama gently weaves a sweet page of youth.
Scenes of the beloved campus are beautifully depicted—the prayers in the chapel, the library with falling autumn leaves, and memories on the tennis courts.
Her tender, embracing voice and the melody that resonates in the heart create a perfect harmony.
Released by King Records in 1964 and performed on the NHK Kōhaku Uta Gassen in 1965, the song became a major hit, achieving million-seller status.
A monument bearing the song’s lyrics was erected in front of Aoyama Gakuin’s chapel, and it continues to be cherished by many to this day.
Hum a few lines when friends gather, and stories of joyful school days are sure to bloom.
Kawachi Ondo
Kawachi Ondo, one of the folk songs best known from Bon Odori, is said to have formed through a blend and arrangement of indigenous ondo and folk tunes that were sung in the area corresponding to the southeastern part of present-day Osaka Prefecture.
Because it came to be sung primarily as a Bon dance song, it has deep ties to Buddhism and also carries the character of a requiem.
Although Kawachi Ondo was born in a single locality, the 1961 record Teppō-bushi Kawachi Ondo became a million-seller, spreading its name not only throughout Japan but overseas as well.
For older listeners, just hearing the sound might be enough to set their hands moving involuntarily.
Scorpio womanKenichi Mikawa
“Onna no Scorpion,” the 25th single by Kenichi Mikawa, was released in 1972.
It’s distinctive for beginning with the word “iie” (“No”), and it’s one of his most widely recognized songs.
According to one interpretation, the lyrics that start with “No” convey: even if you tell me to break up, my answer is no.
If you think I’m an easy, understanding woman, you’re gravely mistaken.
You may think this is just a fling, but I won’t end it.
You might find it strange, but I’m single‑minded to the point of staking my life on it.
If that’s the intended meaning, it fits remarkably well and feels convincing, doesn’t it? Taking time to savor the lyrics is one way to enjoy a song, so give it a try if you like.
A Love Game Between a Man and a WomanMika Hino / Shiro Aoi
Debuted in 1986 as a Takeda Pharmaceutical commercial song, performed as a duet by Tetsuya Takeda and Yoshimi Ashikawa.

The song enjoys high popularity in karaoke and is considered a classic sung across generations.
It’s especially a crowd-pleaser at karaoke contests in senior facilities, so be sure to sing it together and have fun!
