In Okinawa Prefecture, there is no end to incidents of assault on young girls by the US military. In 2024, just as elections and Memorial Day are over, past incidents like this were made public. Many people probably suspected a cover-up for political reasons. Actually, I don't know. It was a time when there was a lot of insane news going around, not just from Okinawa, but from all over the world. The same is true now.
One day, Yoshimichi Ishigaki and Harikuyamaku talked at CPLORS in Sakurazaka about writing a song. I wanted to turn this feeling of confusion into a song.
It took a while, but that's how CHURASHIMA? came about.
And KEY STONE, which Yoshimichi Ishigaki has released in the past, is a new recording on the Harikuyamaku riddim. MAKI TAFARI, a wandering piper, played the flute.
Healing rebel music born in the beautiful island "Churashima".
