“Kakurenbo” (かくれんぼ Hide and Seek) is the title of the debut song and single[1] by Japanese singer Sayuri Ishikawa.

The song is written by Michio Yamagami (山上路夫) as lyricist, Kosho Inomata (猪俣公章) as composer and Mitsuru Kotani (小谷充) as arranger.

At her 10th anniversary concert in 1982, Ishikawa revealed that the lyrics of Kakurenbo was originally set to a melody totally different from the one studio recorded and released as her debut single.

Ishikawa has recorded the song with guitar accompaniment for inclusion in her 20th anniversary box set “Michi” (道) released in 1992 by Nippon Columbia.

The sleeve has a brief profile of Ishikawa at the time of her debut such as her real name, date of birth, native place and hobby.
