Gunma TwilightFuji Keiko10rank/position

It’s an enka song steeped in melancholy, one that vividly evokes the twilight scenery of Gunma.

Keiko Fuji—whose debut album set a record with 20 consecutive weeks at number one—delivers a deeply penetrating, husky vocal that perfectly matches that sudden pang of loneliness you feel while traveling.

This piece was included on the 1988 EP “Tabiji” (The Journey).

Its travel-tinged melody can stir a sense of nostalgia even in listeners with no connection to Gunma.

It’s a gem you’ll want to savor at dusk, lost in thought.
