Hanjirō of the Hakone Eight RiHikawa Kiyoshi
This work fully conveys the appeal of a traditional traveling-swordsman enka.
Its lyrics delicately depict the loneliness, melancholy, and inner conflict of a drifter, and when combined with Kiyoshi Hikawa’s emotionally rich vocals, you can’t help but be drawn in.

Released in February 2000, it became the first debut song in history to win the Grand Prize at the 33rd Japan Lyricist Awards.
It was also used in Taisho Pharmaceutical’s Tiovita Drink commercial.
This piece is recommended for older listeners who love enka.
It’s even more enjoyable when everyone claps along while singing.
