Japanese version edit

Poet and children's literature author Hikaru Kataoka took notice of the song in the 1960s. At this time he was working for the Japanese public broadcaster NHK, where he was in charge of production, song writing and translation. He wrote new Japanese lyrics for "Green, Green",[10] and in May 1967, it was broadcast on NHK during the children's programming of Minna no Uta (Songs for Everyone)[11] sung by Suginami Junior Chorus and arranged by Akihiro Komori. Since then the lyrics have become very popular in Japan.

The lyrics have been published in several Japanese music textbooks.[12]
