The Evening Chime at 5pm in Fujiyoshida City changed to Fujifabric's music 21-27th December 2018

The rigorous cold harsh wind tells the arrival of the winter in Kanto region in Japan.

Every year, as the anniversary of Masahiko Shimura's death draws near, his fans come to Fujiyoshida City to visit his tomb to mourn his loss. It has been 9 years since his death in 2009.

Rojiura No Bokutachi (literally meaning, "Boys in the back alley") are delighted to announce that the Evening Chime in Fujiyoshida City is changed to Fujifabric's 'Akaneiro no Yuhi". The team of Rojiura No Bokutachi consists of his old friends from Primary, Junior High and High School living in Fujiyoshida, and they have organised the series of events to introduce Masahiko who was the main vocalist, the guitarist and the main music writer of Fujifabric's.

'The Evening Chime's At 5pm in Fujiyoshida City'
Date: 21st - 27th December, 2018
Time: 5pm
Music to be changed: 'Akaneiro no Yuhi' ('The Madder Red Setting Sun') by Fujifabric

'Akaneiro no Yuhi' has recently drawn a big attention as one of the famous leading Japanese actors, Masaki Suda, sang and included in his first album, 'PLAY'. It was also sung in the film, 'Koko Wa Taikutsu Mukae Ni Kite' ('It's Boring Here, Pick Me Up' - derails can be found here) by several actors and actresses.

Every year, three days before and after Masahiko Shimura's birthday, the 10th of July, and the anniversary of his death, the 24th of December, draw near, the evening chimes at 5 or 6pm (5pm for winter and 6pm for summer) are temporarily changed to Fujifabric's music, either 'Akane Iro No Yuhi' or 'Wakamono No Subete' ('All About The Youth')
Rojiura No Bokutachi made a town map, which is designed especially for Fujifabric fans with Masahiko-related information. They are now available at Shimo-yoshida Station, Fujiyoshida City Library, De Longtemps (De Longtemps Home Page), M2, Little Robot (Little Robot Home Page) and Fujiyoshida City Hall .

Come and visit us in Fujiyoshida City to feel the atmosphere of Masahiko's hometown!

Today's song is 'Akaneiro No Yuhi' of Indies Version.
