Bound by fateHajime Chitose

A supreme song infused with the soul of Amami Ōshima.

Chitose Hajime, a native of Amami, weaves tenderly with her clear, transparent voice the love for her homeland and the preciousness of the bonds that shape our lives.

Its haunting melody—where distinctive folk inflections blend with modern arrangement—will carry listeners to the beautiful landscapes of Kagoshima.

Released digitally in February 2022, the piece was chosen as the theme song for the PR movie “Life, Laid Bare: Amami Ōshima,” commemorating the island’s inscription as a UNESCO World Natural Heritage site.

A heartwarming gem of a ballad, recommended for anyone wishing to feel the ties that connect us to those we hold dear.

Memento of SpringHajime Chitose

An exotic, oriental-style anime song.

It’s a track by singer Chitose Hajime, known for the smash-hit debut single “Watatsumi no Ki,” released in 2006 as her seventh single.

It was used as the ending theme for the anime Ayakashi: Samurai Horror Tales, which is based on traditional Japanese ghost stories.

The ethereal sound pairs perfectly with the fragile message in the lyrics—“I will keep thinking of you forever”—and it brings me to tears.

Ideally, listen while gazing at a scene of cherry blossoms drifting in the wind.

It is truly the song of a goddess.

A track that is purely beautiful and captivating, carried by a miraculous voice.

It also sounds like a tribute to the beauty of “voice” as sound and the beauty of the “words” that sound weaves.

Listen to it even once, and it will undoubtedly remain in your memory and your heart.
