Osanpo Shimasho is a song from Lupin the 3rd Part 4. It is composed by Yuji Ohno, written by him and Erika Shoda and sung by TIGER, and only appears in the Japanese airing of Part 4.
For the US release of Part 4, a similar song titled Let's Take A Walk takes its place. It is similar in tone to Osanpo Shimasho, but unlike the latter, there is no official released version of Let's Take A Walk.
In Lupin the 3rd Part 4[]

The song was heavily featured in Part 4 Episode 20. Before the episode's events, Osanpo Shimasho/Let's Take A Walk was a hit single by singer Nora Anita. Her manager-turned-husband Martin usually reacted with annoyance when the song was sung/played around him by Nora and/or other people. Sometime after she fell heavily ill and became bedridden, however, Martin's hatred of the song increased, to the point where he would immediately tell anyone around him singing Osanpo Shimasho to be quiet and to never sing the song again, though this is mostly because he was reminded of a time when Nora was still healthy.
In Part 4 Episode 20, as Lupin III drives around Nora's beloved car that she used to drive all the time, Martin begins to reminisce his younger days when he and Nora were both still well. The memory he looks back on the fondest is a car trip leading to Nora's secret spot, a quiet lake hidden somewhere near some trees where a sunset can be observed.
As Lupin decides to stop driving Nora's car around the city, he finds a photograph of the spot and starts driving to it while his handheld transceiver is accidentally left on. Martin (and most likely Nora) listen to Lupin humming Osanpo Shimasho/Let's Take A Walk as he drives to the lake, going across a bridge where Nora usually lost her hat, a cliff with sharp turns where Martin usually got scared, unpaved roads that usually made mud stick to the car, and passing by an ice cream shop where they would stop for ice cream no matter how cold the day was.
Lupin finally reaches the lake, and stops the car there. Martin, unbeknownst to Lupin, thanks him for "giving them one last ride before the end", before Nora reaches for his hand and her heart monitor flatlines. In the penultimate scene before the episode ends, Martin stays with Nora, the sunset's bright lights illuminating the room as he repeats a line Nora told him; to stay like that for a while as the sun sets.

Osanpo Shimasho[]
Osanpo shimasho kono heya o dete
Osanpo osanpo shimasho
ano michi no mukō e
Narande arukeba dare mo ga furimuku
Ashidori karuku ikou
Ano oka no mukō e
Ni nin no michi wa tsuzuku kara
Yasumazu mae o muite
Shō cha na koto wa waraitobashite
Osanpo osanpo shimasho ano michi no mukō e
(saxophone solo)
Ni nin no michi wa tsuzuku kara
Yasumazu mae o muite
Shō cha na koto wa waraitobashite
Osanpo osanpo shimasho ano michi no mukō e
おさんぽしましょ この部屋を出て
おさんぽ おさんぽ しましょ
あの道の向こうへ
並んで歩けば 誰もが振り向く
足取り軽く行こう
あの丘の向こうへ
二人の道は続くから
休まず前を向いて
小ちゃなことは 笑い飛ばして
おさんぽ おさんぽ しましょ
(saxophone solo)
二人の道は続くから
休まず前を向いて
小ちゃなことは 笑い飛ばして
おさんぽ おさんぽ しましょ
Let's take a walk, and leave this room
Let's take a walk, take a walk, take a walk
Down that road
We can walk together and everyone will stop and look
Let's take a, let's take a, let's take a walk
Down that road
Our paths will lead us onward
We'll never rest, we'll never stop looking forward
Let's take a, let's take a, let's take a walk
Down that road
(saxophone solo)
Our paths will lead us onward
We'll never rest, we'll never stop looking forward
Let's take a, let's take a, let's take a walk
Down that road
Let's Take A Walk[]
Let's take a walk, you and I, let's roam
Down a sunny street way back home
Let's take a walk, you and I, let's roam
Down a sunny street way back home
Let's take a walk and leave this room
Take a walk down that road
We can walk together and stop and look
Down a sunny street way back home
Take a walk and see all the sights
We'll just walk from day until night
We can walk together and stop and look
Down a sunny street way back home
We can walk together and stop and look
Down a sunny street way back home
