Mittsu de 500yen - Bokyo Hen - / Otoko nara -Heisei Bushi-

[Machine Translation] In 1975, Saijo Rock, a comedian from Osaka, sang the song and released it, but because the lyrics contained prohibited broadcast terms, it was designated as A-rank prohibited for TV/radio/wire broadcasting, etc. It was never played on the public stage, but has become very popular through karaoke, secondhand recordings, and the Internet. However, it is now available in a Heisei version that is almost faithful to the original song! Three for 500 yen" is the ultimate wretched appeal of an inedible "nagashi" at the end of the street who will sing, dance, rub shoulders, or do anything else for 500 yen for three songs in response to customers' requests! This is the ultimate wretched appeal. How will this song with its lonesome lyrics and melody resonate in these difficult times? The coupling is a song that everyone knows. Originally sung as a folk song in Yamaguchi Prefecture, the song was rearranged as a military song during the war and played a role in raising national prestige. This song has been revived with revised lyrics as a stress-relieving song for surviving the Heisei Depression Era!

昭和50年に大阪の芸人西条ロックが歌い発売したが、歌詞に放送禁止用語を含んでいたためTV/ラジオ/有線放送などで放送禁止Aランク指定となり、表舞台には一切流れなかったが、カラオケ・中古盤・ネットで大人気となっている。それを原曲にほぼ忠実な平成版として遂に登場!! 「三つで五百円」とは場末の食えない "流し" がお客さんの要求に3曲500円で何でも歌う、いや踊りでも肩もみでも何でもします! という究極に侘しい訴え。それをうら寂しい詞とメロディーに乗せた曲はこの厳しい時代の中でどう響くのか? カップリングは誰でも知っているあの曲。元々山口県民謡として歌われていた曲を戦時下に軍歌として改編され、国威昂揚に一役買ったものが昭和30年代にリバイバルとなり紅白でも歌われた。こちらは歌詞を大幅に改訂して平成不況時代を生き抜くためのストレス解消ソングとして蘇生!!
