A row of ginkgo trees
Leaves swaying in the breeze
Strolling down this golden walkway
Memories flood back once more
Autumn breeze so light
Recalling days so bright
Laughter echoes in my heart
Though now we're apart
The ginkgo street, while walking along
The ginkgo street, while walking along
Wind whispers tenderly
Stirring up reverie
Promises we made back then
I know I'll never hear again
Leaves dance gracefully
As they fall aimlessly
Wistful sigh escapes my lips
And looking to the golden leaves
The ginkgo street, while walking along
The ginkgo street, while walking along
Now peace fills me on this ginkgo way
Though time still flows, unchanged each day
In my heart, our days remain
A row of ginkgo trees
Leaves swaying in the breeze
Strolling down this golden walkway
Memories flood back once more
Autumn breeze so light
Recalling days so bright
Laughter echoes in my heart
Though now we're apart
The ginkgo street, while walking along
The ginkgo street, while walking along
Down the ginkgo street, while walking along

In This Place
Shu Hakamada
Hello music lovers! I'm Shu Hakamada, a Japanese singer-songwriter born on 1959. I suffered hearing loss in 2006 and was forced to give up my career as a professional musician in my mid-40s. Since then, I was away from music for over 15 years, but in 2024 I returned with a new passion.
'Restart' represents my musical rebirth, featuring a journey through diverse melodies and harmonies - from upbeat anthems to soul-searching ballads. Drawing inspiration from The Beatles, classic rock and roll, and Motown, these songs explore themes of love, grief, and hope.
This album was created entirely at home, with all tracks played, recorded, and mixed by myself.
Creating 'Restart' was like rediscovering a part of myself I thought I'd lost. It's living proof that age is no barrier to pursuing new dreams. We were all born to run - to chase our passions, overcome challenges, and reinvent ourselves at any stage of life.
