Tokai OndoMiyako Harumi26rank/position

Tokai Village, located in the northern part of Ibaraki Prefecture, was established in 1955 through the merger of Shakujin Village and Muramatsu Village.
Created in 1980 to commemorate the 25th anniversary of the merger, the “Tokai Ondo” is sung by Harumi Miyako.
It is sometimes played at festivals and other events held in the village.

This song, performed by Harumi Miyako—the enka legend born in Kyoto’s Nishijin district—is a richly evocative number where a bittersweet love blends with the beautiful scenery of the ancient capital.
Crafted by the golden duo of Tetsurō Hoshino and Shōsuke Ichikawa, it’s classic enka, released as a single in September 1993.
The imagery that layers falling cherry blossoms with tears is deeply moving.
It’s a song that soaks into the heart—perfect for a night when you want to sink into a gentle, reflective mood.
Itako LullabyMiyako Harumi28rank/position

This is a lyrical song by Harumi Miyako, one of Japan’s leading enka singers, that vividly evokes the scenery of Itako City in Ibaraki Prefecture.
The wistful tones of the shamisen and the unhurried melody are like a boat gliding quietly through the waters of the Itako marshlands.
This song is more than a simple lullaby.
It beautifully weaves together the sorrow of seeing someone off as they depart from the port and the deep maternal love that wishes for the healthy growth of the child held in her arms.
Beneath the gentle refrain of “nen-nen korori” lies a yearning for the one who is leaving and a prayer for the child’s future.
It is a timeless masterpiece that softly awakens in listeners the landscapes of their hometown and warm feelings for their family.
Kuroshio SongMiyako Harumi29rank/position

I learned about this song when someone told me about it; it’s included on Fuyumi Sakamoto’s CD titled “Ashita e” (To Tomorrow).
It delighted me to hear the famous sights of Wakayama—like Wakayama Castle and the rivers—sung in a style so characteristic of Harumi Miyako.
It’s a wonderful song that weaves in scenic spots and tourist attractions.
