Tora-san's Song of Love (男はつらいよ 旅と女と寅次郎 Otoko wa Tsurai yo: Tabi to Onna to Torajirō) aka Torasan's Journey with a Lady[1] is a 1983 Japanese comedy film directed by Yoji Yamada. It stars Kiyoshi Atsumi as Torajirō Kuruma (Tora-san), and Harumi Miyako as his love interest or "Madonna".[2] Tora-san's Song of Love is the thirty-first entry in the popular, long-running Otoko wa Tsurai yo series.

Tora-san returns to his family home to learn that his brother-in-law cannot go to Mitsuo's (Tora-san's nephew) athletic event. Tora-san volunteers to take his place, but gets into an argument with his brother-in-law's boss and returns to the road. He meets a young woman in Niigata who, unbeknownst to him, is a popular enka singer.[3][4][5]
Stuart Galbraith IV considers Tora-san's Song of Love to be a minor entry in the Otoko wa Tsurai yo series.[4] The German-language site molodezhnaja gives Tora-san's Song of Love three and a half out of five stars.[7]
Tora-san's Song of Love was released theatrically on August 6, 1983.[8] In Japan, the film has been released on videotape in 1996, and in DVD format in 2002 and 2008.[9]
