Suzhou SerenadeWatanabe Hamako, Kirishima Noboru

“Suzhou Nocturne” is a popular song from the Showa era, composed in 1940 as an insert song for the film “China Nights,” and released on record the same year sung by Hamako Watanabe and Noboru Kirishima.

In the film, it is performed by actress Yoshiko Yamaguchi, known as Li Xianglan, who was born in prewar China and lived through a turbulent era.

The song was, in fact, originally created with the premise that the movie star “Li Xianglan” would sing it.

Suzhou—called the “water city of the East”—and the feelings of a man and a woman are depicted in beautifully crafted lyrics characteristic of Showa-era popular music.

A collaboration number between AAA’s Takahiro Nishijima and Sukima Switch, “Kanade.” It’s an outstanding collab.

Nishijima’s clear, beautiful voice and Sukima Switch’s harmonies are breathtaking.

The blend of their vocals with the piano is stylish, gentle, and almost tear-inducing.

It’s a wonderful track I can recommend to everyone—be sure to give it a listen.
