Description Celebrating the 50th anniversary of Yosui Inoue's debut, we have a number of Yosui's masterpieces that have captured our hearts, including the theme song for "Buratamori." From the time Robert Campbell was wandering through life, to the days of his illness, Yosui's songs were by his side. From his early masterpieces to songs that symbolize Yosui, 50 carefully selected lyrics are translated into English. Yosui's message is brought out by filtering it through the English filter.

With the staff holding their breath, he talks about his lyrics for the first time. The program "Music Document Yosui Inoue x Robert Campbell 'Koto no ha no Umi ni Odashite'" has won many major awards in the broadcasting industry, including the Japan Broadcasting Culture Award Grand Prix.
