加藤登紀子 - 知床旅情 琵琶湖周航の歌

Review by Kirsty Midgley

Kato Tokiko's album, "Shiretoko Ryujou Biwako Shukou no Uta," is a beautiful collection of songs that transport the listener to the scenic locations of Shiretoko and Lake Biwa. Her soothing voice is accompanied by traditional Japanese instruments, including the biwa and shakuhachi, creating a serene and peaceful atmosphere.

The songs are a blend of traditional Japanese folk and modern pop, showcasing Kato's versatility as a singer. The lyrics are poetic and evoke a sense of nostalgia for the natural beauty of Japan. One standout track is "Biwako no Uta," a song that captures the essence of Lake Biwa with its gentle melody and lyrics that describe the lake's shimmering waters and surrounding mountains.
