Singles

Kakurenbo (かくれんぼ) was originally released as the first single of Ishikawa with Tsugaru no Sato (津軽の里) as its B-side.

Aoi Tsukiyo no Sampo Michi (青い月夜の散歩道) was Ishikawa’s second single with Anato to Watashi no Mura-matsuri (あなたと私の村祭り) as its B-side.

Personnel

The album came with a 60 cm x 30 cm centerfold portrait of Ishikawa. However, the sleeve does not credit the photographer for the portrait nor for the album’s cover photo. Even though this album was released in Ishikawa’s debut year 1973, Ishikawa is not credited with the title “Columbia Princess" (コロムビア・プリンセス), the title used by Nippon Columbia to promote the artist in her debut year.[2]

The sleeve credits Columbia Yurikago Kai (コロムビアゆりかご会 chorus) for track 1, Columbia Studio Orchestra (コロムビア・スタジオ・オーケストラ) for tracks 1, 6, 7 and 12, and the Shin Shitsunai-gaku Kyokai (新室内楽協会) for the other songs.

Notes

  1. The sleeve does not have time for each song of the album nor the album’s total playing time.
  2. “Columbia Princess" (コロムビア・プリンセス) was the title used by Nippon Columbia to promote Japanese singer Sayuri Ishikawa (石川さゆり) in her debut year 1973. The title was used in Ishikawa’s first two singles “Kakurenbo" (かくれんぼ) and “Aoi Tsuki-yo no Sampo Michi" (青い月夜の散歩道) only and was dropped after her third single “Omoide" (おもいで). None of Ishikawa’s albums, including her debut album released in 1973, credit her as Columbia Princess.
