Hungry Rider - Bringing 'Japanese Retro Pop Anthem 'to the World

Ehime Ken, the singular local singer from Nankai Broadcasting who 'sings about the charms of Ehime entirely on his own,' is back with his 4th single, Hungry Rider. This time the spotlight falls on Imabari's famous B-class gourmet dish-Imabari Yakibuta Tamago Meshi (grilled pork with fried eggs on rice).

Fueled by the hunger of a cycling trip across the Shimanami Kaidō, the song bursts with humor, energy, and irresistible flavor. Backed by Ventures-style surf guitar riffs and a playful, retro-pop melody, Ehime Ken praises the dish's speed, volume, taste, and unbeatable price. His voice-velvety, alluring, and at times recalling David Bowie-makes the ode unforgettable.

A fast, filling, and delicious anthem from Ehime: Hungry Rider is a local ballad you'll want to sing along with-and maybe grab a bite to eat, too.
