promiseShin Koorioki

Shin Hioki, who works as a singer-songwriter and pianist, is from Nara City, Nara Prefecture.
In 2006, he won the NHK Nodo Jiman Nara competition, and he is currently based in Nara City, Nara Prefecture.

promiseShonan no Kaze

It portrays the time before meeting one’s special person and carries a powerful message: no matter what happens, I will protect you.
It doesn’t show only the good times—there are hardships and sorrows too—but it conveys the resolve to overcome them together.
I think many people would admire this and wish to be a couple like that.
YayoiNaoko Ken

Lyrics by Yoko Aki, music by Ryudo Uzaki.
The song sings of atonement toward a child who, due to circumstances, could not be born, as well as feelings of apology toward the family formed afterward, self-admonition, and sorrow.
It’s a song so shocking that you may be taken aback when you hear the lyrics.
Goat Mailnursery rhyme

A Japanese children’s song that was broadcast on NHK Radio in 1953 and is still loved across generations today.
In the song, the goats eat the letters before reading them, so they never know what they say and keep sending letters back and forth in a comical loop.
Gentle BlueAyaka

Amid the relaxed tempo, it portrays genuine human feelings—gentle words, moments of unease—and it’s a song through which you can feel a kind of strong resolve.
Personally, listening to this song helped me recover from a heartbreak, so it has left a deep impression on me.
Yanagase BluesKenichi Mikawa

Released in 1966 (Showa 41).
One of Kenichi Mikawa’s signature songs and a pioneer of regional-themed songs, it made Yanagase in Gifu Prefecture instantly famous.
Although Mikawa himself apparently didn’t care for it, saying, “I have a cheerful personality, so dark songs don’t suit me,” the way he begins in a very low register leaves a strong impression.
Rather than a ‘dark’ song, it’s a fine piece whose flavor deepens with age—the older you get, the more you appreciate it.
