Aoba Castle Love Song / Sato Muneyuki 1977 Sato Muneyuki had a radio program at the time. During his show, Sato Muneyuki set a melody to a poem sent in by a listener, and this song was born. The refreshing and pure lyrics and melody, fitting for Sendai, the city of trees, received overwhelming support from the program's listeners as well as the citizens of Sendai. At the time, there were no songs that could be considered "local songs," so the song received great support from the city of Sendai, and became a huge hit. For the citizens of Sendai and Miyagi Prefecture, this is a masterpiece that continues to be sung as a prefectural or civic song.
