A famous song about Fukuoka. The heart of the hometown passed down through song.

A person from the melodic hardcore boom generation who loves music, photography, and eating. I’ve been going to live houses for over 20 years. I’m at the age where summer festivals are starting to feel tough physically. I sometimes try shooting live photos and videos for MVs. I’m not great at English, so I often listen to straightforward Japanese rock that hits directly, but if someone recommends something, I’ll listen to anything—Western or Japanese—broadly and casually. I like cooking while listening to music; it’s a nice way to relieve stress.

Takui Nakajima (TAKUI) Fukuoka Ballad

FukuokaNakajima Takui

The song title, fittingly, is “Fukuoka,” included on the album VIVAROCK.

Takui Nakajima is from Koga City, but since he moved to Tokyo at 15, perhaps his feelings for his hometown are especially strong.

He writes candidly about the natural beauty of Fukuoka and the love of family.

It’s a track whose delicate vocals evoke a sentimental mood.
