The first station of my life
Ichiro Toba, true to his stage name, hails from Toba.
His father was a fisherman and his mother an ama diver, making his family one of fishers.
Growing up in that environment, Toba’s enka became anthems supporting fishermen who battle the open sea every day.
However, this song might, perhaps, be a song of encouragement for Toba himself.
