A melancholic blues engraved in Showa era pop songs.
With its melancholic melody and emotional singing voice, it quickly captured the hearts of the public.
Released in 1966, "Yanagase Blues" is a local song set in Yanagase, Gifu's entertainment district, but it became a huge hit nationwide. Kenichi Mikawa's powerful yet melancholic vocals beautifully capture the mood of the Showa era nightlife, making this a work that bridges the gap between enka and mood pop. Along with the coupling song "Hitosuji no Namida," it is known as a classic single that will go down in pop history.
