June 15th was Father's Day in our household.

Father's Day in Japan is officially June 21st in 2026. But in our home, it was June 15th.We clinked glasses with a miso soup bowl and a tapioca drink, laughing together over canned beer. Nothing special. Yet everything was.That ordinary, irreplaceable evening became a song.🎵 Lyrics[Verse 1] Woke up just like any other day Worked just like I always do But walking home, something felt different The kids were fidgeting by the door I could feel it before I even walked in[Pre-Chorus] A paper bag from Mister Donut My wife's warm smile, dishes lined up Nothing special, yet everything was[Chorus] "Today's toast is for Daddy" We clinked with a miso soup bowl I love you all — I finally said it out loud June 15th, it was Father's Day[Verse 2] Nights throwing cushions at each other Mornings getting yelled at over homework Passing manga back and forth Somewhere along the way, I became a dad[Pre-Chorus] In my thirties, I nearly lost it all That pain is what shaped who I am I'm just so glad I made it through[Chorus] "Today's toast is for Daddy" We laughed with tapioca and canned beer I love you all — I can still say it June 15th, it was Father's Day[Bridge] "Thank you for raising me" I sent those words to my own father that night The love inside a family carries on Until the day my kids become parents too[Outro / Final Chorus] Every day is joy, every day I love my work I love my wife, I love my kids Maybe I never noticed it myself But it seems I'm being a father, every single dayJune 15th, it was Father's DayI hope this song warms your day, just a little.🎙 Hatchy's Songs to Change Your Tomorrow Simple songs for ordinary days.
