DNO - The Governor of Japan's Kanagawa Prefecture, Mr Kuroiwa Yuji, has performed the famous Japanese song "Blue Light Yokohama" in Vietnamese. His performance serves as a gesture to strengthen the friendship between Vietnam and Japan.
The project is a special cultural diplomacy initiative implemented by Kanagawa Prefecture in collaboration with the Embassy of Vietnam in Japan, the Association of Vietnamese Traditional Culture and Arts in Japan (BETORAKU), and the Ha Noi University of Science and Technology Alumni Association in Japan (BKS).
"Blue Light Yokohama", a major hit in Japan from the 1960s closely associated with the port city of Yokohama, was selected as the foundation for the project with the aim of bringing Japanese J-pop music closer to Vietnamese audiences.
Governor Kuroiwa’s direct performance of the song in Vietnamese demonstrates efforts to promote cultural exchange and respect for the increasingly strong relationship between the two countries.
The music video was filmed at several iconic locations in Yokohama, including the Minato Mirai 21, the Nihon Avenue, the rooftop of the Kanagawa Prefectural Government Building, and the Yamashita Park.
The blend of modern, distinctive urban scenery with a song familiar to Japanese audiences creates a product that is both artistic and effective in promoting Kanagawa to Vietnamese friends.
For many years, Governor Kuroiwa Yuji has been known for his special affection for Vietnam. Since 2015, he has initiated and promoted the Vietnam Fiesta in Kanagawa - one of the largest Vietnam - Japan cultural exchange events in Japan, attracting tens of thousands of visitors annually and becoming an important bridge between the communities of the two countries.
He has also taken part in many cultural exchange activities, from exploring Vietnamese cuisine to interacting with Vietnamese youth and students.
The Vietnamese version of the "Blue Light Yokohama" MV is considered as a meaningful milestone, reaffirming the spirit of friendship, mutual respect, and the desire to foster the Vietnam - Japan diplomatic ties through creative, close and emotional cultural activities.
