Songs from the 1940s that relate to "Farewell to Manzanar" include "I'll Be Home for Christmas" and "Shiki no Uta" (Song of the Seasons). "I'll Be Home for Christmas" captures the longing and separation felt by Japanese Americans during their internment. Similarly, "Shiki no Uta," while not originally from the 1940s, reflects themes of nostalgia and the connection to home, resonating with the sentiments expressed in Jeanne Wakatsuki Houston's memoir about her family's experiences in the Manzanar internment camp.
