A deeply moving moment at Five Spot Jazz 🌙
🎤Monday Michiru performs 🙏🏻“希望 HOPE”—a powerful piece originally released by her mother, Toshiko Akiyoshi, as part of her 60th anniversary. 💿🎶
With lyrics written by renowned poet Shuntarō Tanikawa, the song carries a message of peace, shaped by themes of anti-war and remembrance, inspired by Hiroshima.🗾
平和への祈りを込めて生まれたこの楽曲は、戦争や核への想い、そして未来への希望を静かに語りかけます。🌎
💙A song that carries history, memory, and a quiet but enduring hope—brought to life on stage through every note.
