"YABAI IBARAKI KEN! I AM EBISAWA KEN!"
With an unforgettable opening hook that instantly grabs your ears, "Raki Raki Ibarakki" is KEN EBISAWA's high-energy anthem celebrating his hometown of Ibaraki Prefecture. A native of Ibaraki and a self-proclaimed "local star," EBISAWA channels his deep local pride into a playful yet passionate track blending rap, pop, and humor.

Even the famously "super low rank" in national popularity rankings is turned into a running joke-one that fuels the song's charm. From regional specialties like anko-nabe (monkfish hot pot), dried sweet potatoes, natto, melons, and lotus roots, to Ibaraki's abundant nature and endless ways to enjoy it, the lyrics invite listeners to discover the hidden treasures of the region. The repeated theme: "It's all up to you"-a message of freedom and fun.

The arrangement is handled by the band FURACHINARHYTHM, known for their sharp musicianship and quirky style. Their colorful, groove-heavy production perfectly complements EBISAWA's energetic vocals, making this track a guaranteed crowd-pleaser at live shows and local events.

"The real charm is just getting started."
Fall in love with your hometown all over again.
From Ibaraki to the nation-and beyond-KEN EBISAWA delivers a vibrant message of love, pride, and joy.
