The music video for Hosokawa Takashi’s celebratory song “Tsugaru Tayake Setsu,” which debuted in 1975 with “Kokoro no Kori” and celebrated his 50th anniversary in 2025, was released today, the 15th, which is the release date for his best album, and is the release date for his 75th birthday. The music video for “Otoko Ship,” released in 2014, attracted attention for the footage of him wrestling with a giant herring, but this time it’s even more impressive than that.
The new song, “Tsugaru Taysaku Bushi,” is set in the sea of Tsugaru, and is a full-fledged enka that expresses a sense of excitement and melancholy, centering on Tsugaru shamisen and strings, and sings about a woman’s unfulfilled love. Celebrating its 50th anniversary in the arts career, this authentic enka emphasizes the strength and gentleness of Hosokawa Takashi’s unique personality.
In the music video, Hosokawa Takashi, who has heard rumors that before the prosperity of humans and civilization, was a “cat paradise,” rides a time machine and arrives from the future. The film is based on photo materials from Hosokawa’s official social media, and will be appearing in addition to Hosokawa, as well as three cats: the Hosokawa family’s beloved cats, Rin, Whale, and Chocolate. The sudden start of the “50th Anniversary of Arts Festival” begins, and the battle with evil spirits who call themselves “Crying Samma,” will Hosokawa Takashi be able to protect the cats from evil spirits? This work is sure to attract attention for its impressive battle scenes and tear-jerking ending, and is a music video worthy of celebrating his 50th anniversary and 75th birthday.
