Shizuoka Prefectural SongBonījakkusu/Itō Kyōko

It’s the prefectural anthem established in 1968, and an EP was released the same year.

The lyrics were chosen through a public contest.

The music, composed by Yoshinao Nakada, is based on three themes: “abundance,” “beauty,” and “strength.” In recent years it has been performed infrequently, so it might be a somewhat rare piece.

Amagi YearningMikado Tadaji

A veteran of classic enka, Tadashi Mikado delivers a richly emotive performance in this travel-themed enka set in Izu.

From the very beginning, you’re gripped by a melancholy yet beautiful melody that evokes the Amagi road at the end of autumn.

The bittersweet feelings of wandering alone through Izu with a lost love in one’s heart perfectly match Mikado’s deeply resonant vocals.

The Japanese timbres reminiscent of koto and shakuhachi vividly paint scenes of a hot spring town veiled in light rain and a wind-swept mountain pass, drawing listeners into the story’s world.

It’s a masterpiece that leaves you steeped in a lyrical afterglow, as if you’ve just watched a short film.
