This is Minami Kizuki’s debut song, rooted in Amami folk “shima-uta.” The lyrics by Yuka Kawamura are outstanding, as expected.

Her effortless, unstrained vocals, backed by solid singing ability, make her a top recommendation among soothing female vocalists.

She has appeared frequently on NHK and in films, and her non-urban vibe may well be her strength.

It’s also very easy to sing as a karaoke song and is perfect for those who can shine in the high register.
