Sea of the BoyYamaguchi Momoe29rank/position

A song where the scent of the sea and the brilliance of youth surge together as one.

Woven with tactile words that capture the roar of the tide, the wind, and the sparkle of the waves, it leaves the freshness of vows and hesitation lingering in your heart.

This track appears on the May 1975 album “Theme of a Sixteen-Year-Old” and serves as the theme song for the film “Shiosai” (The Sound of Waves).

The setting is Kamishima in Toba City, Mie Prefecture.

Momoe Yamaguchi’s spoken passages deepen the storytelling, and with each listen the island’s scenery rises before your eyes.

Kazuya Senke’s lyrics, Shunichi Tokura’s melody, and Yuyu Hoshiguchi’s delicate arrangement bring together Kamishima’s everyday life and pure love with a lucid touch.

As a local song rooted in Mie, its charm lies in how it evokes both wanderlust and nostalgia at once.

It’s perfect for seaside travels or nights when you want to think of home.
