The House of the Setting Sun

The House of the Setting Sun is a new release by AI artist Yuuka Kurosaki, inspired by Asahiro, the haunting version of The House of the Rising Sun once performed by Japanese singer Maki Asakawa.

Instead of the rising sun, this song focuses on the fading light of dusk, portraying women who live with sorrow, resignation, and quiet strength in a place where the sun sets.

With a calm and detached voice, the song tells the story of women who hide their pain behind smiles, welcome strangers with practiced warmth, and find resilience not in being comforted but in comforting others.

The creator behind this project is a man over sixty years old who spent more than ten years researching and writing about the true story behind Anchokuro, a historical building in Shimoda connected to Tojin Okichi.

Through the voice of an AI, he brings forgotten stories of pride and sadness into the present.

This is a quiet yet powerful song that reflects the cool and emotional depth of Yuuka Kurosaki and her unique style.
