Island SongTHE BOOM
The BOOM’s classic, which opens with the wistful tones of a sanshin, is a gem of a ballad imbued with the tragedy of the Battle of Okinawa and a fervent wish for peace.
On the surface it appears to be a love song about a parting between a man and a woman, yet it was born from Kazufumi Miyazawa’s 1991 visit to the Himeyuri Peace Museum in Okinawa.
Its distinctive sound blends a base in the Ryukyuan scale with elements of contemporary music.
The track was included on the January 1992 album Adolescence and released as a standalone single the following year.
It was featured in a commercial song for Mizuho Distillery’s Ryukyu Awamori Xi.
In 2001, a cover by an Argentine artist became a major hit locally, and the international response was so great that it was even used as a supporters’ chant during the 2002 Japan–Korea World Cup.
It’s a song I particularly recommend for quiet, solitary evenings, as well as to younger listeners who want to experience the diversity of Japanese music.
