Kotoku Line from Takamatsu to Tokushima The driver seemed to be very busy because of the one-man car It's a pity that the station stamp has been abolished

Fujimoto and Tenchan of Yoshimoto Kogyo which are famous for worrent Near the birthplace of Queen Boogie, where his son was associated Born in Aioi-mura, Okawa-gun, Kagawa (now Higashikagawa City). (The ancestors of the Ikoma family of Hikida Castle Castle were in Hikida.) There are various circumstances soon after birth, I was adopted by a rice store in Fukushima-ku, Osaka, It was only in later years that Shizuko became aware of her own birth. 1927 (Showa 2), After graduating from elementary school, Take the Takarazuka Music Opera School (now Takarazuka Music School), Singing and dancing will be rejected even though they have perfect ability. The reason is that Shizuko at that time has a small upper back, Because he was extremely thin, It was said that the school judged that he could not endure the harsh Takarazuka life. But the same year "Shochiku Music Theater Student Training Center" Passed the test (the former training school of the OSK Nippon Opera Company, the predecessor of the Japan Opera School), The stage name of Shizuko Mikasa, who plays the role of daughter, takes the first stage in "Japan Hakkei Odori". afterwards, In 1933 (Showa 8), he became a star in the performance of "Autumn Dance, Memejin". 1935 (Showa 10) Taking advantage of the fact that Prince Sujin named himself Mikasa Shrine, It is fearful to give the name of Mikasa Renamed Shizuko Kasagi, 1938 (Showa 13) Participated in the Shochiku Rakudan Company, which was launched at the Imperial Theater. Meet Ryoichi Hattori. Later on, he teamed up with Hattori to sell as a jazz singer, The flashy gesture was caught in the Metropolitan Police Department, 1939 (Showa 14), It is forbidden to appear in the Marunouchi theater. After the Shochiku Theater Company was dissolved, Formed "Shizuko Kasagi and his orchestra" and performed consolation activities. On the other hand, The movie first appeared in "Yuji Kita Continental Dochu", Co-starred with Saburo Boya and Kiton Masuda. Ryoichi Hattori welcomed him to Columbia exclusively "Rappa and daughter" "Hot China" etc. will be released, Shizuko's stage, where she dances and sings violently, becomes a place where the authorities can see. Around 1 meter around the microphone I licked hot acid such as being forced to sing within the range. Since the Sino-Japanese War, during World War II He led the dedicated orchestra and was active in tours and leisure activities. Hit after the war “Aire cuteness” is due to the theme being southward A song made for the stage that escaped difficulties, Shizuko liked to sing at the soldiers' and military factories. Hattori talked about his encounter with Shizuko in his autobiography, "My Music Life." “When I heard that it was the most popular stage singer in Osaka, I was excited about what kind of wonderful Primadonna would be.” But what came is She was a poor girl who randomly bunched her hair, slammed her eyes with a medicine bottle, and spoke the Osaka dialect. However, once he stood on the stage, he was "... a completely different person." Eyes with long eyelashes that are as long as three centimeters shine perfectly, Riding on an orchestra where I swing a stick, "Odore. While shouting "Odore", Sing and dance violently. The flashiness and swing feeling of the movement are It's a different feeling from girls from other girls' opera. I was convinced that this was a singer who was noisy in the world. " November 1945 (Showa 20), Appeared from the first show of the Japanese theater that was restarted, and sang at the 1947 (Showa 22) Japanese drama show "Dancing Manga Festival, Urashima Again Go to Ryugu", "Tokyo Boogie Woogie" composed by Ryoichi Hattori (who wrote most of Shizuko's songs) became a big hit. After that, hit a series of boogie stuff such as "Osaka boogie boogie" and "shopping boogie", Called the "Boogie Queen". Reigned in the entertainment world as a superstar until Hibari Misora ​​appeared (Hibari became famous for imitating Shizuko). A man who was Shizuko's manager made Hibari perform in Hawaii before Shizuko, The imitated person is "an adult singing a song of Hibari Misora" As a result, it causes misunderstanding in the field, It is said that he didn't let the skylark sing boogie, It is not well known that Shizuko himself was the victim of such a profit-making person. Unlike traditional singers who emphasize songs, such as Tokai Rintaro and Noriya Awatani, Shizuko was new at the time, full of flashy action and the spirit of service prepared by Osaka. In "Hey Hey Boogie", Shizuko sings "Hay Hey" in the audience and the audience Resonate with "Hay Hey", Literally performing a performance where the stage and the audience are united, In "Homerun Boogie", he appeared in the costume of the cheerleader with high geta, and fell into the audience seats due to the momentum. When I sing "Buy Boogie" The geta I wore on was always split in two. Tomio Fujimura of the Hanshin Tigers is flashy, inspired by Shizuko's stage It is famous that he started to play. Also when I was a new bureaucracy Yukio Mishima, who had been asked to write a manuscript for the speech of the Minister after being bought a literary talent, said, "Before the magnificent attraction of Shizuko Kasagi, A bald head like me is really dull, though. '' I've written a draft manuscript beginning with (it's obviously a crap). Even today, Shizuko's song is covered and continues to have a great influence on Japanese pop music. In my personal life, Yosuke Yoshimoto, eight years younger (Seiko Yoshimoto, founder of Yoshimoto Kogyo) Even though she got acquainted with her, she was long-awaited as Yoshimoto's successor even though she developed and became pregnant. Sei didn't like Shizuko and firmly refused to admit her marriage to Eisuke. In addition, Yosuke, who had been ill since his childhood, died in May 1947 (Showa 22) at the age of 24. Shizuko gave birth to a female child (an ordinary person, whose name is said to have originated in the right) several days after her death. Finally, the stage "Jazz Carmen" during pregnancy, Though I was thinking about retirement, There was also encouragement from around, including Ryoichi Hattori and Kenichi Enomoto, Determined to continue living as a singer. The appearance of striving for the stage with a baby sucker, At that time, it was called "night woman" Providing deep empathy to women who are forced to prostitute for their daily lives, Most of Shizuko's patronage groups were consolidated by these women. 1948 (Showa 23) In the movie "Ryodori Tenshi" directed by Akira Kurosawa, he played a cabaret singer, Although only one scene appeared, it left a very strong impression. Kurosawa wrote the song "Jungle Boogie" that Shizuko sang in the play. And the next year, 1949 (Showa 24) He starred in "Ginza Kankan Musume," which was Shizuko's masterpiece in a competition with Hideko Takamine. He also participated in the NHK Kouhaku Uta Gassen four times (see below for details). Boogie was down Around 1957 (Showa 32), Shizuko declared the singer closed. Even because I can no longer sing and dance to satisfy customers, It was said that it was to prioritize and thoroughly raise the only daughter. Later in a dialogue program on TV, "The reason for closing down was" because I've been overweight, "confessed. In other words, if you can move like before, you can't get fat. Was that. In addition, he said, "There is no need to pollute my best times (the glory of the heyday as the Queen of Boogie) with my own hands." The stage name was changed to Shizuko, Dedicated to actress activity (although there are stereo versions of some of the former hit songs, It is a monaural board recorded by revival just before retirement and processed in later years, The orphans testify that they did not sing until the nose even after retirement, whether public or private). Also, when devoting himself to actress activities, he visited each TV station, movie company, and entertainment company himself, "I have to raise my daughter by myself. You can't use it with the previous Gala of "Star Kazaki Shizuko", Please lower your gala. " Appeared in many works with a light acting that makes good use of his strength of the Osaka dialect. Also, from 1967 (Showa 42), a judge for the popular TBS program "Family Sorote Uta Gassen", Since 1971 (Showa 46), it has been popular as an aunt of the CM "Kaneyon" commercial cleanser for Kaneyo soap. Shizuko died of ovarian cancer in 1985. 70 years old. The legal name is Jakusei-in chanting. While watching Naoko Ken who plays his part on TV in the hospital bed "It was fun in the Nikki era," he murmured. It was Shizuko's last word.

"East Kagawa city" does not come with a pin and still says "Hida-cho". The station has lines 1 to 3 and all can be used for both upper and lower lines. There is a coffee shop in the station building.

It is a station where flowers are beautiful. Anpanman train will stop at 10:55 on weekends and holidays. Not compatible with wheelchairs

It is the innermost limited express stop in Kagawa prefecture. The main work of station staff is to replace and connect trains. There is a train that stops at Hikida, and in the morning, the train is changed from the electric train to the platform, and at night, the train that stops at Hikida is changed from the platform to the electric train, but the point is that the station staff switches to manual. , I will do it. Tickets are sold at the counter, but reserved seat tickets are not often sold because there is no Mars. (The staff may call the station where Mars is located and issue a ticket.) The window closes at 18:40, but the staff is open from 5:40 in the morning to 21:40 in the evening. (From 11:00 am to 14:30 pm) The staff is basically working alone. There is no ticket gate, so you can go in and out freely without needing an admission ticket (collecting tickets). There is a ticket vending machine, but 10,000-yen bills and 5,000-yen bills cannot be used, so please prepare 1,000-yen bills when the window is closed. The staff are generally kind.

It is a station on the Kotoku line. It was the representative station of Hiketa Town at the eastern end of Kagawa Prefecture, but merged into Higashikagawa City. Most of the limited express trains stop, but there are also passing trains, mainly during the daytime. There are many regular trains that turn around at this station, and the number of trains in the Tokushima area decreases. It takes a long time to get to Takamatsu Station, and there are some regular trains that turn around at Sanbonmatsu Station, mainly during the daytime, and do not come to this station, so I feel that convenience is getting worse. It is located along National Route 11, and in the past there was a bus connecting Takamatsu and Tokushima, but now it is difficult to change on foot because it is via the highway.

The ticket office at this station (the window where station staff sell tickets) will be closed on March 11, 2022. From the next day onwards, it will be an unmanned station. (However, the handling of commuter pass issuance remains until April 10)
