Lyric

"Aki" (Autumn) is a 13-track album by singer-songwriter Ryoji Motoishi, capturing the many faces of the season. From the first spark of love beneath osmanthus blossoms, to a quiet evening with family under the harvest moon, the excitement of an autumn festival, the nostalgia of a school cultural festival, a heartfelt tribute to a mother's chestnut rice, a grandfather's wisdom carried through golden rice fields, and a romance set against Kyoto's crimson maples - each song captures a distinct moment of life as the season turns. The second installment in his four-seasons series, following "Natsu" (Summer), "Aki" blends bittersweet nostalgia with the warmth of a harvest well earned.
