The Last City

"The Last City"

Written and performed by Nagasaki-born artist Kumiko Morita, "The Last City" is a song inspired by her hometown of Nagasaki, the city where an atomic bomb was dropped on August 9, 1945.

The song carries a message of peace and a hope that the devastation caused by war will never be repeated.

In this version, Morita layers her own vocals to create a sound reminiscent of a choir. Gentle and intimate, the arrangement transforms the song into a quiet prayer for peace.

"The Last City" is released in two different arrangements, each expressing the song's message from a different perspective.
