Takao Kisugi (来生 たかお Kisugi Takao), born November 16, 1950 in Tokyo, Japan, is a Japanese singer and composer.

After working with Yosui Inoue's band, Kisugi debuted as a singer-songwriter with single "Asai Yume", released in 1976. In the 1980s, he produced many hit tunes with Etsuko Kisugi, his sister and a lyricist. His best known song as a performer "Yume no Tochu (夢の途中 ')" became huge hit by cover version entitled "Sailor Fuku to Kikanju (セーラー服と機関銃 ')", sung by teen-age idol Hiroko Yakushimaru. As a singer, he recorded the first ending song of Maison Ikkoku, "Ashita Hareru ka".

He said that his own songwriting had been deeply influenced by The Beatles and Gilbert O'Sullivan. In 1991, he wrote and recorded the song "What a Way (To Show I Love You)" with O'Sullivan. Another song on which they collaborated, "Can't Think Straight", was featured on the Japanese edition of O'Sullivan's studio album Sound of the Loop.
Goodbye day was Takao Kisugi's 10th single released in 1981, then again released as part of his 6th album Sparkle. Although it was acclaimed as one of the best songs of Takao Kisugi, it never became huge hit in Japan. 

Over the years, the song has been arranged in different variations, and also adapted by singers of other countries in different languages.

Lyrics

歌詞 (Original in Japanese characters):


少しだけ疲れた顔で 君は静かに眠ってる
スタンドの淡い光 そっと睫毛の影が出来る

昔より愛が足りない 僕はぼんやり呟いた
費した君との月日 惜しみはしない僕がいる

Goodbye day 今日が終り
One more day また一日 何ごともなく それでいい

Goodbye day ケリをつけて
One more day また一日 新しい日に すればいい

てのひらに 口づけすると そっと力を こめてくる
無意識に 甘えてるだろ 僕が隣りに いることに

こんなにも愛は深いよ それに気づかぬ だけだろう
余りにもおだやかすぎて 時の流れに 埋もれるから

Goodbye day そして I love you
One more day また一日 信じていれば それでいい

Goodbye day そして I love you
One more day また一日 おだやかならば それでいい

Goodbye day そして I love you
One more day また一日 信じていれば それでいい

Goodbye day そして I love you
One more day また一日 おだやかならば それでいい
