This is a striking track where lustrous traditional Japanese melodies intertwine with big band jazz, creating a passionate sound.

Suisei Hoshimachi’s powerful yet wistful vocals brilliantly capture this formidable world, which may be why it resonates with so many listeners.

The original song was included on the album ZOMBIE LAND SAGA Franchouchou The Best, released in November 2019.

It was also used as an insert song to heighten the climax of the sequel.

After the members of Quruli actually visited Kōhoku Town in Saga Prefecture and experienced its rich nature and culture, their impressions were sublimated into a melody filled with the delight of finding a treasure.

It’s a song that makes you think, “It can’t be that bad,” and you can’t help but laugh.

It feels self-deprecating, but I think it could only have been written by someone who knows and loves Saga well.

It may seem like the emblem of a plain prefecture, but it’s a song that brightly put today’s Saga on the national map.

A perfect match for hometown pride! This boldly arranged track puts a playful spin on DA PUMP’s hit song.

Created by Brooklyn Naruse, a musician from Saga Prefecture, it features charming lyrics packed with Saga dialect.

Dancing against backdrops of his hometown—JR Saga Station and the Ariake Sea tidal flats—he exudes a handmade vibe while conveying a passionate desire to energize Saga.

When he performed it live in October 2018, it made such a splash on social media—garnering over 700 likes—that it led to the video’s production.

It’s a standout cover for people living away from Saga or anyone curious about the region’s deeper charms.
