Prefectural Song of Hokkaido (Japan) - "光あふれて"

Hokkaido (北海道) is the second largest main island of Japan, and the largest and northernmost prefecture. The Tsugaru Strait separates Hokkaido from Honshu. It was formerly known as Ezo, Yezo, Yeso, or Yesso. The two islands are connected by the undersea railway Seikan Tunnel. The largest city on Hokkaido is its capital, Sapporo, which is also its only ordinance-designated city. About 43 kilometres (26 mi) north of Hokkaido lies Sakhalin Island and to the east and northeast are the Kuril Islands, which are administered by Russia, although the four most southerly are claimed by Japan-see Kuril Islands dispute.

Yeah right like I didnt expect a Japanese Prefecture to have an Anthem like know that States Regions Proviences and Russian Republics and other Subdivisions have Anthems but I did not expect a Prefecture that is known for Ancient Japanese History But I this is starting to be my favorite Anthem from a Japanese Prefecture God Bless you Hokkaidans

This sounds so alike to “Farewell to Slavianka”.
