“Oshōshina” isn’t a familiar word in standard Japanese, but in Yamagata it might be one of the most popular expressions.
Its meaning is interpreted as “thank you,” though there seems to be a slight nuance difference from how it’s used locally.
This is a song composed by Kei Ogura, who is also active as a singer-songwriter, using Yonezawa as its theme.
In each and every lyric, you can feel people’s warmth and kindness.

You are any more than that.ogura kei11rank/position

This song was composed by Hoshi Masaru, a close ally of Kei Ogura.
It was used as the theme song for a JRA commercial aired in 1996, starring Masahiro Motoki and Mayu Tsuruta.
The song expresses a straightforward, unwavering love for someone special.
It might seem odd for a love song to be used in a horse racing commercial, right? But the image of keeping your eyes only on one person and continuing to think of them without distraction feels like a perfect match for JRA’s commercials, which show the steadfast belief in victory and unwavering support.
