Early Spring Carol Saori Yuki & Sachiko Yasuda

It seems this song was also selected as one of the “100 Japanese Songs.” Befitting that honor, it makes me once again appreciate the charms of Japan—its four seasons, the beauty of its scenery, and the feelings they evoke.

Through the sisters’ beautiful singing, you can feel the longing as spring is still far off, and the beauty of the slightly chilly, quiet landscapes of this delicate time of year.

“The Lighthouse Keeper” — Saori Yuki & Sachiko Yasuda

As children, sisters Shoko Yasuda and Saori Yuki were active as nursery rhyme singers in a children’s choir, and today they perform out of a desire to pass down the beloved songs of old Japan.

Their song “The Lighthouse Keeper,” a Japanese-lyric adaptation of an English folk tune, is striking for its beautiful high tones carried by a piano melody.

The lyrics, depicting a lighthouse keeper who continues to shine a light on the sea in all its moods, may remind us to appreciate those presences we often take for granted.

Simple yet dreamlike in its ensemble, the piece paints a vivid seascape and is a pleasure to listen to.
