Michinoku NarukoAoi Kawori
The hot spring town is set in the famous Naruko Onsen.
With nearly 400 hot spring sources in the Naruko Onsen area, Naruko is well known throughout Japan, and even its name evokes a sense of charm.
The lyrics, as expected, sing of the sorrow of deciding to part ways, but there’s another thing Naruko is famous for: kokeshi dolls.
Naruko kokeshi are known for the squeaking sound they make, and the lyrics, which liken a “kokeshi” to a woman and lament that the one being waited for never comes, are heartbreaking.

This is a song where you can hear Sayuri Ishikawa’s lively enka.
It sings about the everyday life that fishermen have led unchanged since long ago and will continue to lead, and it gently conveys the importance of that everyday normalcy.
In the middle, the Hama Jinku is quoted and sung; as a drinking song traditionally sung along the Miyagi Prefecture coast, this jinku conveys the vigor of the fishermen.

The Natori River is a Class A river that flows through Sendai City and Natori City into the Pacific Ocean, and it is also famous as an uta-makura (a poetic place-name).
The flow of the Natori carries spiciness and carries dreams, and it gently sings of the arrival of spring in Tohoku.
Although Genta Chiba is originally from Miyagi Prefecture, he has steadily built a loyal fan base across Japan through diligent grassroots promotion.
