Tokyo Boogie-Woogie

Tokyo Boogie-Woogie Kasagi Shizuko

A lively boogie-woogie rhythm and the heart-thumping charm of Shizuko Kasagi’s classic.

This song, which breathed hope and energy into postwar Japan, still radiates an undiminished allure more than 70 years after its debut.

Its bouncy melody makes you want to hum along as you dance—irresistible, really.

Since its release in 1947, it has sold over 700,000 copies, becoming a massive hit.

It was also featured as a song within the film The Inugami Family, released in 1976.

It’s a must-listen for anyone interested in jazz or boogie-woogie, or who loves that retro Showa-era vibe.

Why not lend an ear to that nostalgic voice and try a few light, jaunty steps alongside Ms.

Kasagi?
