"Comin' Thro' the Rye" (known in Japan as "Kokyo no Sora") is a traditional piece based on the Scottish folk song "Common' Frae The Town."
The lyrics were written in 1782 by Robert Burns (1759-1796) and included in his collection "Poems, Chiefly in the Scottish Dialect."
The original poem depicts a simple, slightly playful romantic scene in which lovers meet in a rye field and share a quiet kiss. In Japan, however, only the melody was introduced and became widely known as the school song "Kokyo no Sora," detached from its original romantic context. Even today, the tune can still be heard in some regions as a pedestrian crossing signal.
It remains a traditional Scottish melody that continues to be loved across countries and cultures.
