Vietnamese version of MV “Blue Light Yokohama” cherishes friendship
(VOVWORLD) - The Vietnamese-language version of the music video (MV) Blue Light Yokohama has captured a heartwarming cross-cultural moment, as Kanagawa Governor Kuroiwa Yuji performed the famous Japanese song in Vietnamese for the first time.
Blue Light Yokohama, a major hit in Japan during the 1960s and closely associated with the port city of Yokohama, was chosen as the foundation of the project with the aim of bringing Japanese J-pop music closer to Vietnamese audiences.
In the MV, Governor Kuroiwa’s Vietnamese vocals pair with iconic Kanagawa–Yokohama backdrops — Minato Mirai, City Hall, Yamashita Park, and even scenes from the Vietnam Festival in Yokohama — turning the video into both a musical and cultural tribute.
