In keeping with the Canadian Thanksgiving theme for today, and after having done last week's ROY on Styx's "Mr. Roboto" which has plenty of this special expression, I decided to write up this Author's Pick with the theme of songs that contain words of thanks in the title and/or the lyrics. On this holiday, I'm certainly thankful for my health and the health of my family and friends. As well, I'm thankful that I've had this blog along with my fellow contributors and commenters for the past decade plus. Without further ado, then:
(1971) Jun Inoue -- Osewa ni Narimashita（お世話になりました）
(1975) Momoe Yamaguchi -- Arigato, Anata （ありがとう、あなた）
(1989) Kaori Kuno -- Thank You for You
(1995) Dreams Come True -- Thank You.（サンキュ.）
(1997) Yosui Inoue & Tamio Okuda -- Arigato （ありがとう）
J-Canuck to your already great list I would add the following as runner ups: ikimonogakari 「ありがとう」 and SMAP 「ありがとう」
ReplyDeleteI should have remembered Ikimonogakari's "Arigato" since it's such a great song.
DeleteI'm surprised you didn't add Thank You by Stardust Revue:

Hi, Rocket. To be honest, I didn't even know about "Thank You" by Stardust Revue. I'll have to check it out. Thank you!
