Hitosu (“One”) is the song Tsuyoshi Nagabuchi performed via live relay from the disaster-stricken city of Ishinomaki during the 62nd NHK Kōhaku Uta Gassen, broadcast at the end of 2011, the year the Great East Japan Earthquake struck.

It serves as a prayerful requiem for people who suffered the tragedy of sudden farewells caused by a natural disaster.

After the program aired, it was released as a single on February 1, 2012, and reached No.
