Created by Namiguru, an artist known for releasing many Vocaloid songs with unique worlds, it was released in May 2023.

Twilight is beautiful.Fuji Ayako
“Tasogare Kirei” is a single released in 2017 to commemorate Ayako Fuji’s 30th anniversary as a singer.
With lyrics by Yoko Aki and composition by Kosetsu Minami, “Tasogare Kirei” showcases Fuji’s seductive charm in full, leaning more toward Showa-era kayōkyoku than traditional enka.
The flowing orchestration and horns evoke the golden age of Showa pop, and the melody—infused with Kosetsu Minami’s signature style—is easy to sing even for those who aren’t fond of enka.
However, the section at the end of the chorus that feels like an ad-lib can easily throw you off in both pitch and rhythm, so pay attention to your breathing points and practice to deliver it smoothly.
