Tsukiyo no Shōzō

"Tsukiyo no Shōzō" (月夜の肖像, "Portrait of the Moonlit Night") (also known by its French title "Identité de la Lune"[1]) is Japanese entertainer Chiaki Kuriyama's fifth single, released on November 23, 2011.

The single was produced by musician Ringo Sheena, who later covered the B-side "Seishun no Matataki" for her album Gyakuyunyū: Kōwankyoku in 2014.

[4] In March 2011, Kuriyama released "Oishii Kisetsu/Ketteiteki Sanpunkan," a double A-side single where both songs were produced by Ringo Sheena and performed by Tokyo Jihen.

[5] "Tsukiyo no Shōzō" was recorded is sessions after the release of her debut album Circus, during which Kuriyama felt more confident as a singer.

[citation needed] Kuriyama felt that "Tsukiyo no Shōzō" was a song that blended "a woman's coolness and femininity" that did not emphasise sweetness or strength.

[19] Kazuhiro "Scao" Ikeda of EMTG called the song "impressive", and noted that it had a "running-like sound on top of a thrilling, restless melody".
