Comment from Kiyoji Hikawa

My name is Kiyoshi Hikawa, and I sing the theme song for "Gegege no Kitaro," which airs every Sunday morning at 9:00 on Fuji Television.
It is a dream come true for me to sing the theme song for "Gegege no Kitaro," which I have loved since I was a child!
Now it's time! The full-size version of "Gegege no Kitaro" will be available from July 24th (Tuesday)! Even those of you who always listen to the song on TV will hear the lyrics for the first time in the full size version. I hope you will enjoy this full-size version of the old and familiar theme song in my voice.
On Wednesday, July 25, I will sing "Gegege no Kitaro" on "2018 FNS Uta no Natsu Matsuri" (19:00-23:28 live broadcast). Please come and watch the show!
