Yoshiko Hanzaki, a singer-songwriter from Hokkaido who continues to weave songs while staying close to people’s hearts, makes her debut. While still a university student, she discovered music and moved to Tokyo on her own. After 17 years of activity, she was featured in numerous media as the "Shopping Mall Song Princess" and made her major debut in April 2017. Her album Uta-ben, which collects songs she wrote for NHK’s Minna no Uta—such as "The Bento Box Song ~ A Letter to You" and "Sakura ~ To the One Who Couldn’t Graduate"—recorded a long-running hit. In addition, her wide-ranging activities include the resounding success of a culminating concert at Tokyo International Forum Hall A, and the song "Osaka Koi Shigure" written for Yoshimi Tendo being performed at the 2019 70th NHK Kouhaku Uta Gassen. On May’s Stage, you can gently savor Yoshiko Hanzaki’s songs, which she hopes will live longer than she does.
