The path of life

The Path of Life/KUZUHA
Released in December 2023, this memorial story album celebrates the 21st anniversary of singer-songwriter KUZUHA (Minako Kuzuha).

Searching, wandering, and pausing along the way,yet continuing to walk toward the light.
The album features 10 original songs that gently capture emotions born from life's many seasons.

Blending songs written before her debut with newly composed works, the album unfolds under the theme "The Path of Life," rooted in a gospel-inspired message of hope.

Completed in collaboration with the many talented musicians she has encountered throughout her journey, the album resonates with warmth and strength, where passion and sensitivity come together in a powerful yet heartfelt sound.
