Senryū no Shizuku
"Senryū no Shizuku" (千流の雫, lit. "Drops of a Thousand Streams") is a song recorded by Japanese singer Shizuka Kudo. It was released as a single through Pony Canyon on May 9, 1990. It marks the debut of Kudo as a songwriter. The song was featured on commercials for Taiyo Yuden That's cassette tapes. Similarly to her previous single, "Kuchibiru Kara Biyaku", a limited number of 7-inch vinyls of the single were produced for promotional use. "Senryū no Shizuku" has never appeared on an original album, but was included in the compilation album Unlimited (1990).
The song was written by Shizuka Kudo, under the pseudonym Aeri (愛絵理), composed by Tsugutoshi Gotō and arranged by Draw4. Kudo revealed the origin of her pseudonym when she was interviewed as a guest on the Fuji TV music show TK Music Clamp, stating that Aeri is what her mother had considered naming her and she had felt it fitting to use it as her lyricist pseudonym. Lyrically, "Senryū no Shizuku" deals with the theme of forbidden love. The track was praised for its "modern and chic" melody and "delicate" lyrics. Music critics also noted the influence of Miyuki Nakajima's work on Kudo's first forray into songwriting.
In 2014, Tomomi Kahara recorded a cover of the song for her album Memories: Kahara Covers. While promoting the album, Kahara performed the song in duet with Kudo on the music show Music Fair.
