Description:

It has been 50 years since the release of "Namida Koi", the song that launched his career. A song dedicated to her late mentor! Composer Jun Suzuki and lyricist Keiko Yuki are the creators of Aki Yashiro's first song "Namida Koi" and her mentors. Keiko Yuki wrote the lyrics to the song in memory of her late husband, Jun Suzuki, and Aki Yashiro composed the music for the song. A sweet and sad song that describes the universal feelings of those left behind after the loss of a loved one is now complete! The coupling includes "Namida Koi 2023," a self-cover song newly arranged and recorded 50 years later; "Rokujo Gothomosho no Koi," an ambitious collaboration with Nanafuku Tamagawa, a ronikyoku master, which is based on the Tale of Genji; and "Le Portrait", which was performed in Paris in 2022.
