[Official] Kohei Fukuda “Father and Son Hawks” [Official Music Video Short ver.]

There is a saying, “A kite gives birth to a hawk,” which means a child surpasses their parent.

In contrast, ‘Oyako-daka’ means that both the parent and the child are outstanding.

Long ago there was a novel with the same title, ‘Oyako-daka,’ whose protagonist is Katsu Kokichi, the father of the famous Katsu Kaishū.

The brilliant Katsu Kaishū and Kokichi—though poor, always acting for the good of society and others—both embody the spirit of these proverbs.

A magnificent enka song that celebrates the spirit of the sea and its fishermen has been born.

Released in August 2016 by Kohei Fukuda from Iwate Prefecture, this work is characterized by a powerful singing voice and exhilarating sound.

Set against the Tsugaru Sea, the lyrics portray a man chasing big dreams and the bonds he shares with his comrades, resonating deeply with listeners.

It was well received on the Oricon charts, reaching 13th place for the week.

As Fukuda’s first “sea-themed” piece, it is recommended not only for enka fans but also for those seeking a song with a grand sense of scale.

Why not immerse yourself in the moving vocals while picturing the scenes of a port town and the life of its fishermen?
