Mogami RiverYamagata-ken
One of Japan’s three great prefectural songs, it eloquently sings—through a dignified melody—of the majestic figure of the mother river that flows throughout Yamagata Prefecture.
Based on a waka composed from impressions during Crown Prince Hirohito’s visit in 1925, Akataro Shimazaki set it to music in 1930.
Beloved by residents for many years, it was officially designated as the prefectural song in March 1982.
Though consisting of just a single tanka, it distills the purity of a river that flows gently across vast fields and empties into the sea.
It continues to be sung at school events and ceremonies within the prefecture, and a monument bearing the song stands in Hiyoriyama Park in Sakata City.

Selected as the ending theme for the TV anime Jujutsu Kaisen Season 2: Shibuya Incident, the track was released in September 2023 and continues to enjoy enduring popularity.

Cotton HandkerchiefŌta Hiromi
A classic song in the history of Showa-era pop that portrays a long-distance romance between someone leaving their rural hometown for the big city and the lover waiting back home.
With lyrics by Takashi Matsumoto and music by Kyohei Tsutsumi, the piece is structured like an exchange of letters, a dialogue.
Set to a sprightly melody, it poignantly sings of the drifting emotions between the one being swept up in the city’s glamour and the one longing for unchanging love.
Released in December 1975 as Hiromi Ota’s fourth single, it became a major hit that earned her first appearance at the 27th NHK Kohaku Uta Gassen at the end of 1976.
The track was single-cut from the acclaimed album “Kokoro ga Kaze o Hiita Hi” (The Day My Heart Caught a Cold).
Give it a listen on nights when you’re thinking of someone dear, or when you want to soak in a nostalgic, retro mood.
