A mature love story woven around the pottery-making traditions of Hasami Town, Nagasaki Prefecture?a story that makes you cherish everyday life.
The original soundtrack for the evening drama series Aono Hana, Utsuwa no Mori (The Blue Flower, the Forest of Vessels) will be released on December 2!

A love story woven by Hasami ware that makes everyday life precious.
Most of the ceramics produced in Hasami Town, Nagasaki Prefecture, are familiar items you quietly use in your daily life. The townspeople craft them through a collaborative, division-of-labor process. Aoko, born and raised in Hasami, works as a porcelain painter and enjoys her peaceful days. One day, Ryusei, a solitary ceramic artist, arrives from Finland. When Ryusei declares, "My vessels do not need any painting," Aoko feels as though not just herself, but her town and her fellow artisans have been rejected. Yet, she gradually finds herself spellbound by the sculpted beauty of the pieces he creates...

This popular comic by Yuki Kodama has been adapted into a live-action drama starring Rena Matsui and Hayate Ichinose. The music is composed by Shuichiro Fukuhiro, known for his work on GTO and Dr. White. For this series, he captures the world woven by Aoko and Ryusei, alongside the scenic harmony of Hasami's grand yet delicate landscape, using clear felt piano melodies, Celtic music, and sampled environmental sounds.
