Ozawa Akiko’s new song, “Kurohime Monogatari” was released today.
The song is a grand, scale-filled enka series written by fairy tale author Kitazawa Akitoshi, based on the folk tale story “The Legend of Kurohime,” which is passed down in the Kitashin region of Nagano Prefecture, and the music video was also uploaded today.

The single includes the nostalgic, sweet and sour hymn of youth, “Fruit Beyond,” “Yutari. Hirugami,” set in Hirugami Onsen in Achi Village, Nagano Prefecture, and “Katusha no Uta,” composed by Nakayama Shinpei, whose film “Shinpai: Songs Are Everything,” is being produced and attracting attention.
“Kurohime Monogatari” Released / Ozawa Akiko
In fact, when I wrote my previous work, “Fukoishi,” by Kitazawa Akitoshi, a poetry writer and a fairy tale writer, I received this as a candidate song for a new song.
This time, we will deliver a story of the strong bond of love between the beautiful black princess and the young warriors who are guided like fate, with a grand scale melody and innovative arrangement.
From the geisha figure to the Kurohime. We are determined to cherish the traditional beauty of Japan and spread the charm of our hometown, Shinshu, to the world!
