Repertoire for The Spring Season

The Spring season is coming soon, and I am trying to focus on practicing repertoire which I will perform.

This season, I plan to perform the Sanshin and sing a song called "Shima No Hito Yo" composed by Suguru Ikeda. This will be the first time I perform the song in the public.

I like both music and words of Shima No Hito Yo, and I decided to perform the song.

島の人よいついつまでも生まれ島を忘れないで」
