Kaguyahime, an iconic folk band named after the moon princess from a Japanese folktale, has carved a substantial niche in the annals of Japanese music. Emerging during the heydays of the folk boom in the 1970s, the group was formed by the fusion of three talented singer-songwriters: Yasuo Miyakawa, Osamu Kitayama, and Ise Shozo. They found their footing and recognition with harmonious melodies and socially resonant lyrics that captured the spirit of the era. Over time, Kaguyahime developed a devoted following and their work continues to be celebrated for its pure, evocative storytelling and the interplay of traditional Japanese sensibilities with the universal appeal of folk music.

Their body of work, rich with cultural and emotional depth, includes an impressive collection of albums and singles that resonate even with contemporary audiences. Among their most revered releases, you'll find "Kaguyahime Single Collection," "KAGUYAHIME Best Dreamin'," and "Kaguyahime Forever." The album "Sannkai no Uta" stands out as a testament to their poetic prowess, while their live recordings, like "Kaguyahime LIVE" and "Kaguyahime On Stage -Kosetsu Panda Shoyan-," capture the intimate and profound connection they share with their audiences. Even after decades, Kaguyahime's music retains its timeless allure, continuing to inspire and captivate new generations of listeners with its heartfelt messages and enduring melodies.
