is the debut and first studio album by Japanese singer Sayuri Ishikawa (ç³å·ÂãÂÂãÂÂãÂÂ). The album was released on 25 August 1973 by Nippon Columbia (æ¥拳ãÂÂã ãÂÂã¢). Of the twelve songs in the album, four are original songs written for Ishikawa. The other eight songs are covers.
Kakurenbo (ãÂÂãÂÂãÂÂãÂÂã¼) was originally released as the first single of Ishikawa with Tsugaru no Sato (津軽ã®éÂÂ) as its B-side.
Aoi Tsukiyo no Sampo Michi (éÂÂãÂÂæÂÂå¤Âã®æ£æ©éÂÂ) was Ishikawa's second single with Anato to Watashi no Mura-matsuri (ãÂÂãªãÂÂã¨ç§Âã®æÂÂç¥ÂãÂÂ) as its B-side.
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 âÂÂColumbia Princess" (ã³ãÂÂã ãÂÂã¢ãÂȋÂÂãªã³ãÂȋ¹), the title used by Nippon Columbia to promote the artist in her debut year.
The sleeve credits Columbia Yurikago Kai ( chorus) for track 1, Columbia Studio Orchestra (ã³ãÂÂã ãÂÂã¢ãÂȋ¹ã¿ã¸ãªãÂȋªã¼ã±ã¹ãÂÂã©) for tracks 1, 6, 7 and 12, and the Shin Shitsunai-gaku Kyokai (æ°室å 楽åÂÂä¼Â) for the other songs.
