Evening Primrose/Garden Chigusa "Evening Primrose" is a masterpiece with lyrics by Takehisa Yumeji, a painter and poet representative of the Taisho Romantic era, and music by Tadaaki Ta. The song expresses the bittersweetness of unrequited love and the fragility of a flower that blooms at dusk. Its charm lies in its subtly sweet yet deeply melancholic melody.
The second song is a children's song from the Meiji era, based on the Irish folk song "The Last Rose of Summer." The rose in the original song is replaced with a white chrysanthemum, expressing a fleeting beauty. It is a dramatic piece that blends exotic nostalgia with Japanese aesthetics, evoking a sense of tranquility and dignity.
