Album information

“Hana Kuyou –Sanbyaku Rokuju Go Nichi Koi Moyou” (花供養 (365日恋もよう) Flower Festival -365 Days of Love) is the seventh studio album by Japanese singer Sayuri Ishikawa (石川さゆり). The album was released on November 25, 1976 by Nippon Columbia (日本コロムビア). All twelve songs in the album are original songs written for Ishikawa by Yu Aku (阿久悠) as lyricist and Takashi Miki (三木たかし) as composer and arranger.

“Hana Kuyou –Sanbyaku Rokuju Go Nichi Koi Moyou” is a concept album. Each of the twelve songs in the album represents a month of a year. In addition, most songs depict scenes of a particular place in Japan while some are not specific about its location.

Ishikawa’s signature song “Tsugaru Kaikyō Fuyugeshiki” (津軽海峡・冬景色) originally appeared as the song representing the month of December in this album. Prior to the release of this album, Ishikawa sang Tsugaru Kaikyō Fuyugeshiki on stage at her recital in Osaka. This first presentation of the song received critical acclaim, which led to the song’s subsequent release as a single in the following year.[2]

The album was originally released in 30cm LP format. It was reprinted in 12 cm CD format in 1993 by Nippon Columbia.[3]
