Crossing Kikoku-zaka in the Rain

"Nurete Koeru wa Kikoku-zaka"
A modern Japanese enka ballad steeped in longing, forbidden love, and quiet tragedy.

Set on the misty mountain path of "Kikoku-zaka," this cinematic song follows the emotional journey of a woman who walks through rain and memories, burdened by a love that defies forgiveness.
With traditional instruments like shamisen, shakuhachi, and gentle strings, the arrangement paints a hauntingly beautiful atmosphere where every sound feels like a whispered emotion.

The lyrics-written entirely in soft hiragana-flow like poetry, expressing pain, passion, and surrender.
As the final line fades, only the mist remains... and the question:
"If the fog lifts on Kikoku-zaka... will I become your dream?"
