Description
Hokkai Bon Uta, formerly known as Beccho Bushi, was a vulgar coal miner’s song from Hokkaido. In 1940, the lyrics were subsequently rewritten. The song was rearranged into the version we eventually became familiar with today. The 1940 arrangement was recorded by Michiya Mihashi. The album sold 2.6 million copies.
Hokkai Bon Uta is one of the most popular Bon Odori songs, and you will hear the instrumental melody used as a motif throughout Japanese pop culture.
