It’s a masterpiece that resonates with the chill of winter and a longing for one’s hometown.
The lyrics are steeped in the atmosphere of the Tsugaru region, featuring dialect and the Jonkara-bushi style.

Released in August 1985, the song won the Gold Award at the 27th Japan Record Awards and has been performed many times on NHK’s Kōhaku Uta Gassen.

Homebound Train: Visiting My HometownMizuki Yuu
Yuu Mizuki is an enka singer from Warabi City in Saitama Prefecture.
She has an idol-like side, and her friendly personality and adorable looks have earned her many male fans.
Her greatest charm is, above all, her powerful singing voice.
The power in her vocals—something you wouldn’t expect from her appearance—creates a striking, positive contrast.
Her low register is also very rich, which especially brings out her appeal in songs with a touch of melancholy.
If you enjoy impactful enka, be sure to check her out.
Boy FriendWakita Monari
This is dance music by Monari Wakita, who skillfully elevates elements of disco-funk and city pop into contemporary pop.
With a cute, easy-to-listen-to vocal and a current sound that can liven up even a school entrance ceremony, it’s an easy choice to use.
Hymn to BogatsuruSeri Yoko
This song was sung by Yoko Seri and broadcast on NHK’s “Minna no Uta” in 1978.
It is said to have originally been created in 1952 by three Kyushu University students at a mountain hut in Bogatsuru, Taketa City, Oita Prefecture, based on the Hiroshima Higher Normal School mountaineering club’s First Song, “Yama-otoko no Uta” (Song of the Mountain Man).
Its plaintive minor-key melody seems to teach us both the gentleness and the severity of the mountains.
Monk, monk.Sugano Hirokazu
The lyrics seem to be about monks getting into quarrels or fights, but as you keep listening, a familiar melody pops up.
When the line “Ushiro no shōmen, dāre?” comes in, that suspicion turns into certainty.
By some twist of fate, the melody sounds very much like “Kamome Kamome.”
BohemianKatsuragi Yuki
This was Yuki Katsuragi’s seventh single, released in May 1983.
It’s crafted as a rock song that brings out the full appeal of Yuki Katsuragi, whose husky singing voice is so compelling.
That powerful voice could easily hold its own against male vocalists! It would also be an excellent karaoke choice for women with lower voices.
However, no matter how attractive Yuki Katsuragi’s husky tone may be, please do not try to sing in a way that deliberately damages your own voice.
Speaking as a vocal coach, I want to strongly emphasize and caution you on that point.
