Toyohiko Fukuoka received some cassette tapes of Malay folk songs from a member of the Japan Malaysia Cultural Exchange Society in 1994, and he transcribed the melodies and composed the piano accompaniment. Fukuoka sought help in understanding the Malay lyrics and subsequently translated the text into Japanese. He collaborated with Prof. Shuji Kozakura and Dr. Razak Abdul Aziz to have these arrangements of Malay folk songs to be printed.
