The series spotlights five composers—Yasushi Akutagawa, Fumio Hayasaka, Akira Ifukube, Hoji Kiyose, and Akira Ogura—who have left a brilliant mark on Japanese music history, and each release is truly fascinating.\nFumio Hayasaka [1914–1955], featured on this album, is a composer whose name lives on as a giant who wrote the music for works that have left an indelible mark on the history of Japanese film music, such as *Seven Samurai* and *Rashomon*. While he influenced countless composers—including Toshiro Mayuzumi and Toru Takemitsu—Hayasaka also left behind magnificent works in the realm of art music, and it is a great loss that he passed away from tuberculosis at the age of 41.\n\n[Track Listing]\nFumio Hayasaka\nDisc 1\n1.
