Yosansen Ryojo -Iyonada Hen-

[Machine Translation] New Tokyo Romantica's first new song in three years. Continuing from the previous work, this Tsuruoka melody piece is set on the scenic railroad in Ehime Prefecture, the hometown of vocalist Miyauchi Hiroshi. Masayoshi Tsuruoka and Tokyo Romantica represented the heyday of Showa-era mood songs with hits such as "Otaru no Hito yo" and "Kimi wa Kokoro no Tsuma Dakara. The new song to be released over the Corona disaster is a Tsuruoka melody that depicts the scenery along the Iyonada coast of the Yosan Line, which runs along the Seto Inland Sea coast of Ehime Prefecture, the hometown of the current main vocalist, Hiroshi Miyauchi, and offers a magnificent view of the blue sky and sea on a clear day. While the previous work "Neon Street Love Affair" nostalgically depicted the bustle of downtown Matsuyama in the Showa period and the human emotions of the people living there, this work sings the scenery of the Yosan Line running from Takamatsu Station in Kagawa Prefecture to Uwajima Station in Ehime Prefecture, in the reverse direction, from Iyo-Ozu to Matsuyama, commonly known as the "Aiaru Iyonada Line," and loved by many. The area of Ozu sung in Natsuko Godai's "Elkawa Arashi", the downtown street of Ozu that was the setting of NHK's "Ohanahan", the magnificent natural scenery, and Shimonada Station, which has appeared in many Nikkatsu movies and dramas and is famous nationwide for its sunset scenery, all come to mind as images of the "Iyonada Monogatari" tourist train that is crowded on Saturdays and Sundays. . This work invites you to travel in Japan after Corona.

新生・東京ロマンチカ、3年ぶりの新曲。前作に続きヴォーカル・宮内ひろしの故郷、愛媛県の絶景鉄道を舞台にした鶴岡メロディ作品。「小樽のひとよ」「君は心の妻だから」などのヒットで、昭和のムード歌謡全盛期を代表する鶴岡雅義と東京ロマンチカ。コロナ禍を越えてリリースする新曲は、現在のメイン・ヴォーカル・宮内ひろしの故郷、愛媛県の瀬戸内海沿岸を走り、晴れた日には真っ青な空と海の絶景が広がる予讃線の伊予灘沿岸を描いた風景を鶴岡メロディで綴る作品。前作「ネオン街慕情」では昭和の松山の繁華街の賑わいとそこに生きる人々の人情をノスタルジックに描いたが、今作は香川県高松駅から愛媛県宇和島駅まで走る予讃線を逆に伊予大洲から松山へ向かう通称"愛ある伊予灘線"と呼ばれ愛されている区間の風景を歌い込む。五代夏子「肱川あらし」で歌われる大洲のあたり、NHK「おはなはん」の舞台になった大洲の下町通りや雄大な自然の風景、そして日活映画や数多くのドラマにも登場し、夕日が沈む風景は全国でも有名な下灘駅など、土日に賑わう観光列車「伊予灘ものがたり」のイメージが目に浮かぶ。コロナ後の国内旅行に誘う作品。
