2020 Iyomante no Yoru

[Machine Translation] This is the first single commemorating 45 years of Geido. Iyomante no Yoru" is a famous song from the early Showa period, composed by Yuji Koseki and released in 1949. Takashi Hosokawa sang a cover version of the song as the main song on his current tour, and received many inquiries about making a CD of the song, so he recorded it for the first time. This album is a song that fully showcases the charm of Takashi Hosokawa's dynamic, powerful, and lustrous singing, which is second to none. The coupling song is a folk song called "Tsugaru Yama Uta" (Tsugaru Mountain Song). The song is also a well-known song from the tour, and is accompanied by the AB-side melody score.

"芸道45年"を記念した第1弾シングル。「イヨマンテの夜」は、古関裕而氏の作曲により1949年に発表された昭和初期の名曲。現在行っているツアーのメイン楽曲として細川たかしがカバー歌唱したところ、CD化の問い合わせを多数頂き、今回初めてレコーディングした。今作は細川たかしの誰にも負けない豪快、パワフル、かつ艶やかな歌の魅力が全開の楽曲。カップリングには、民謡「津軽山唄」を収録。こちらも、ツアーではおなじみの楽曲で、劇的な歌声を響かせる。AB面メロ譜付。
