Kiyoshi Hikawa discography

Japanese enka singer Kiyoshi Hikawa has released thirty-eight studio albums, three extended plays (EPs), forty-two singles (including one as a featured artist), eight promotional singles, and twenty-eight video albums. In 2000, Hikawa released "Hakone Hachiri no Hanjirō" (箱根八里の半次郎) as his debut single. This single reached number eleven on the Oricon Weekly Singles Chart and has sold over a million copies nationwide.[1] His second single "Ōi Okkake Otojirō" (大井追っかけ音次郎) reached the top 10 in Japan and attained a double platinum. His tenth single "Hatsukoi Ressha" (初恋列車) was released in 2005 and earned him his first number one hit, later certificated Gold by Recording Industry Association of Japan (RIAJ). With the huge commercial and critical success as an enka singer, Hikawa is often referred as the "Prince of Enka".
