Shinpei: Uta Koso Subete (2024)

Born and raised in Shinshu, Nakayama Shinpei was captivated by the traveling band Jinta he saw as a boy and dreamed of pursuing a career in music. At the age of 18, he got the opportunity to become a student of Waseda University professor Shimamura Hogetsu and moved to Tokyo. He worked hard to study while working as a student, and three years later, he was accepted into the prestigious Tokyo Music School. Despite mounting debt, Shinpei graduated and was chosen to compose "Katyusha no Uta," a song for Hogetsu's theater company, Geijutsuza. The song, sung by leading actress Matsui Sumako, became a huge hit, along with the play, bringing comfort to his mother, Zou, who raised him alone. However, his mother suddenly fell ill. He rushed back home, but was unable to be with her before she died. In his grief, he poured his feelings for his mother into the second song, "Gondola no Uta."
