The Promised Moon

A story of a promise bathed in moonlight.

This gem of a song is Sayuri Ishikawa’s gift in her 51st year since debut.

It sings of an eternal bond with someone far away, resonating deeply with listeners’ hearts.

Released in April 2023, the work holds special meaning as the posthumous composition of the master songwriter Takashi Miki.

The coupling track includes “Michi: Ima mo nao Yume o Wasurezu,” first unveiled at her 50th anniversary recital.

Though Sayuri Ishikawa was once overshadowed by idols of her generation at the time of her debut, she made a major breakthrough with “Tsugaru Kaikyō Fuyugeshiki” in 1977.

This work is a jewel that symbolizes her rich musical life.

It is a song we especially hope will be heard by those who have experienced parting from someone dear.
