Yuugure ni Saku Hana

[Machine Translation] Shizuka Akino, based in the Kansai region, continues with her second "Song of Life" following her previous work. The song is a message that even seemingly fragile flowers are trying their best to live in this time of many heartbreaking incidents, such as the declining age of suicides. The coupling song "Sunset Poem" was inspired by the beautiful sunset at Shimonada Station on the Shikoku Railway Yosan Line in Iyo City, Ehime Prefecture, which was once famous as the station closest to the sea in Japan and was used as the location for the opening scene of the 19th film "Torajiro and Tono-sama" in Otoko wa Tsuraiyo.

関西を拠点に活動する秋野静香、前作に続く"命の歌"第二弾。自殺者の低年齢化など心痛める事件が多発する今、一見か弱そうな花でも一生懸命生きているというメッセージを込めて。カップリングの「夕日の詩」はかつて"日本一海に近い駅"として有名で、「男はつらいよ」第19作「寅二郎と殿様」の冒頭のシーンのロケで使われたことでも有名な、愛媛県伊予市の四国旅客鉄道予讃線・下灘駅の美しい夕日に感銘を受け、作られた楽曲。
