Extract
One widespread image of Japanese internal migration is to be found in a well-known ballad Kita kuni no haru, ‘The northern country spring’, one of the biggest hits of Japanese popular music in the 1970s. The ballad is about a man reflecting on his furusato, the rural hometown from which he migrated to the city.
