To my hometownYashiro Aki32rank/position
Aki Yashiro’s enka song “To My Hometown…” is a heartrending piece about the inner struggle of recalling a hometown’s sorrowful past.
The lyrics, which express the idea of “finding the strength to live by holding onto the hope of returning home, even in hard times,” will likely resonate with those working hard in the city while dreaming of someday going back.
In particular, the song is written from a woman’s perspective, so I especially recommend it to female listeners.
Yashiro’s sorrowful yet somehow gentle voice may just move you to tears.
