Masterpieces that sing of Saga. A selection of songs related to Saga Prefecture (21–30)
Saga Prefectural SongSaga-ken
Composed in 1974, the song “Saga Prefectural Anthem” was created to commemorate the 90th anniversary of the Saga prefectural government and the hosting of the Wakakusu National Sports Festival.
The lyrics were selected through a public contest, and the music was composed by Ikuma Dan, with references throughout the lyrics to the region’s rich natural features, such as the Genkai Sea, the Ariake Sea, and Mount Tenzan.
Its stately melody evokes the pride of the prefecture’s residents and hope for the future.
A flexi disc was produced at the time, and a choral arrangement was performed in 2005, reflecting how the piece has been sung for many years.
It is a grand and powerful composition that conjures images of Saga’s beautiful landscapes.
Time MagicYamazaki Makoko
This is the theme song for Hizen Yume Kaido, an Edo-period-themed amusement park in Ureshino Onsen.
It seems to have been used in commercials for over 15 years, and the singing has a nostalgic feel that really makes you feel like you’re time-traveling.
It looks like a fun place, with attractions like a ninja house.
Oshin’s LullabyKanazawa Akiko
At first glance, the nationally beloved show Oshin doesn’t seem to have anything to do with Saga, but Saga was where Oshin lived for a time at her husband’s family home.
However, because of the mother-in-law’s relentless bullying, the image of Saga itself ended up being tarnished.
It’s unfortunate—her in-laws’ home could have been set anywhere.
It’s A Green DreamSaga keibajō imēji songu
It seems to be a familiar image song for horse racing fans at Saga Racecourse.
It refreshingly portrays the greenery of the track and really gives a sense of dreams.
Even if you’re not into horse racing, you can enjoy it as a youth anthem.
Before this song, it seems that a song by Saburo Kitajima was played.
Dramatic Saga CityŌmori Yōhei
This Saga song makes you think, “So that’s how you’re going to do it.” The city of Saga serves as a backdrop centered on its people, creating the drama strictly in a supporting role.
Thinking about it that way, the city doesn’t need any embellishment—the protagonists are the people—and it really struck me anew.
Moon, oh Moon (Saga Prefecture Moon Song)Yamaguchi Iwao
It’s a nursery rhyme.
They’re asking the moon why the stars aren’t out.
Maybe the reason it feels a bit eerie in the pitch-dark, late night is that it’s not a child’s singing voice.
Or is it telling us to go to bed early? It sparks the imagination.
Gaze ArchYugeda Kensuke
Saga City is reportedly engaged in the “Manazashi Movement,” an initiative to raise children with the participation of all citizens.
This song is broadcast at noon on the disaster-prevention radio chimes.
There also seems to be lyrics written by a city employee, making it a true community-wide effort to raise children together.
