Nishida Hikaru - Take Me Home Country Roads

[@brentzthompson7621]

I live in West Virginia, and this song is so meaningful to me, indeed to most West Virginians. Was floored to see this lovely Japanese lady singing this song to a Japanese audience. Love the kids dancing a rather complicated routine - they are well-practiced! Thank you so very much for this surprise!

[@Shokugeki213]

Such a feel-good song ♥️

[@omariwalter3539]

Instablaster.

[@edm5378]

The yearning for hometown is a big genre in Japanese arts: "furusato". John Denver got it so well for WV, that everyone feels it! Like "saudade" in Portuguese.

[@williammorris1903]

right, very nicely done, pretty girl with a beautiful voice

[@kazokazo172]

she sang so good but still as non american even fell so odd listen country or cowboyie song from japoniese

[@jnseney]

I taught ESL in South Korea, in one of my first classes there was a little 6-year-old girl who could not speak a word of English but could sing this song perfectly with no accent.

[@michaelkawasaki4764]

Wow!

[@michaelnitsch4431]

she rocks,and the children are so precious and cuite as ever. and i love this woman's singing.

[@Galantski]

+Michael Nitsch I can't say I agree with you about her rocking - this isn't a rock song, just countryish folk-pop --and the children do nothing for this but serve as a pointless distraction, but I totally agree with you about her singing. By all means check out other songs sung by her, you won't be disappointed.

[@makoli53]

I love this song. 👍

[@nvxanarchy1482]

Galantski that's not what he means.... he means it as a compliment, they aren't assuming the genre...

[@marionrobertson3895]

Me too wow .

[@normanbraslow7902]

Absolutely the best version. And the singer, just beautiful. Beautiful.

[@eranhagai9291]

singing this song without a background singer is very hard, even john denver allways sang this with background, and there is one in most of the other covers as well, but she absoultly aced it on her own. great job, beatiful voice.

[@JPN55]

Most of her songs in English are done without back-up for maybe obvious reasons.

[@edwinclements8112]

After listening to this four times in a row, I think I have decided that this is my favorite version of this song.

[@joelritz5372]

I am with you . One beautiful woman with tons of charm.

[@edwinclements8112]

@Brick builder 1457 I do too. It came out in 1971 when I was in Germany in the army, about a month before I was scheduled to come home and get out. You can imagine how it stirred the emotions. But I still like this one better!

[@PC-dc1kv]

It’s ok, but definitely not as good as John Denver. No way.

[@youraverageasian1601]

8 years for KZbin to finally recommend me this gem

[@Xanduur]

That was absolutely awesome! What a voice! それは素晴らしかった

[@carefulconsumer8682]

She's wonderful and the performance with the youngsters is an excellent touch.

I wish that I could give more than one Like. Japan has a real Treasure with Nishida. The Girls were also fantastic and kudo's to their Choreographer as well.

[@cleetose]

@@spaghettigod43 What does being from California have to do with visiting West Virginia?

[@romrom920]

@@cleetose It means she's a citizen of the united states which was the part they were referencing.

[@cleetose]

@@romrom920 She was born in Japan, so she isn't necessarily a US citizen.
