Kamakura Shoukeika
Kamakura in My Heart

Sixteen years have passed since Kei Daikouji gained national recognition with her song Watashi no Suiheisen which was featured as the ending theme of the Fuji TV program Lion no Gokigenyou in 2009. Now she returns with a new song set in the historic town of Kamakura.

This song gently expresses feelings of longing and appreciation for the present moment through familiar places like the Enoden railway Komachi Street Onari Street and the quiet seaside at Yuigahama. The lyrics reflect a heartfelt wish to be with someone special and to share small moments together.

The arrangement is by Chihiro Kuroki who is active as a singer and songwriter known for emotionally rich music. Her subtle and poetic sound brings out the atmosphere of hydrangeas in the rain and the calm beauty of Kamakura.

The bassist Yusuke Daikouji who is the younger brother of Kei Daikouji now runs the popular shaved ice shop Burebure on Komachi Street in Kamakura. Kei sometimes visits the shop creating a strong personal connection to the place that inspired this song.

Kamakura Shoukeika is a tender ballad that quietly embraces memories encounters and the deep emotions tied to a place filled with history and meaning.
