'''The Translated songs''' (, Honyaku shōka, meaning "translated songs") in the narrow sense are the [[foreign language]] songs that were translated into [[Japanese language|Japanese]], when Western-style songs were introduced into school education in the [[Meiji era]] (the latter half of the [[19th century]]) of [[Japan]]. They were distinguished from the [[Shōka (music)|songs]] which appeared in the music textbooks of the [[Ministry of Education]] that were made by the Japanese. The Transalated songs in a broader sense mean any foreign language songs that have been translated into Japanese.
