<Song introduction>
This song, "Enoshima-ru -This Summer- Shonan Hikotai Ver.", is a version that expresses the view of Katase Enoshima Beach that spreads out in front of Enoshima from the perspective of a kite, a kind of sky pirate that swoops down from the sky and snatches away the food of the people who gather at the beautiful Shonan Beach, which attracts many people throughout the year, including tourists, people enjoying marine leisure activities, and the food of the people who gather there.

The subject of the song is Enoshima in Shonan, a divine presence on Enoshima (Enoshima, Fujisawa City, Kanagawa Prefecture) at the center of the Shonan Coast, which faces Sagami Bay and stretches from the western part of Kanagawa Prefecture (Yugawara and Odawara) to the Miura Peninsula in the east. The gods of Enoshima are the three goddesses enshrined at Enoshima Shrine, and the island is widely worshipped as the god of the sea, the god of water, and the god who is said to bring happiness and wealth to people. This song was inspired by Enoshima, the island of the gods.

In addition to this song, there are other versions of the song so that you can enjoy the beautiful Shonan Coast and Enoshima, so please do have a listen.

I, Katsuji Iijima, a songwriter and composer, was born in Midorigaoka, Meguro-ku, Tokyo in 1970 and am now 55 years old. I have had experience in dance and DJing since I was young, and perhaps as an extension of that, I began writing songs in earnest in 2024 to realize the joy of creating music.

Through this activity, I sincerely pray for world peace and sincerely hope that it will lead to a world without war (conflict) even a little.
