Echigo no Hito

[Machine Translation] Nobuakiyo Yamamoto made his debut as a lyricist in 2013 with Yuji Masaki's "Jounetsu no Bolero". He has appeared frequently on BS11 TV's "Enka Hyakusen," singing "Jounetsu no Bolero" as a singer himself. Her singing ability became the talk of the town, and she made her debut as a singer with "Echigo no Hito," a song she wrote herself, with the program's backing. The coupling song "Shion no Bolero," which she sang for Yuji Masaki, is also included in the album. Although Nobuakiyo Yamamoto himself is from Matsuyama City, Ehime Prefecture, "Echigo no Hito" is a lyrical enka song with a sense of scale, set in the village of Agano in Echigo, Niigata, a place he has loved as his "second home" since he visited there on a trip.
