Nisreen's Art World
Welcome to Nisreen’s Art World! I'm Nisreen — a dancer and a visual artist, with a background in graphic art and psychology, currently based in the U.S. This podcast is your gateway to a creative fusion of ideas, where I explore everything from book reviews to dance analysis, all through an artistic lens — in both English and Japanese. Whether you're here for inspiration, insight, or a fresh perspective, I'm glad you're joining me on this journey. New episodes are released on Fridays (though not always regularly!).
「ニスリーンのアートの世界」へようこそ！私は心理学とグラフィックアートを大学で学び、現在、アメリカ合衆国を拠点に、ダンスとヴィジュアルアート、二つのアート表現を続けています。このポッドキャストでは、様々な話題について、アートという観点から日英で分析をしていきます。アートを身近に感じて楽しんでいただくきっかけになれば嬉しいです！不定期金曜日更新です。

S3: E9 Kōzō Murashita: Japan’s Most Underrated Musical Genius

Hello everyone, this is Nisreen — welcome to the ninth episode of season three. It’s so lovely to speak with you again. Today I’d like to introduce you to a musician many people outside Japan have never heard of, even though he quietly shaped generations of listeners: Kōzō Murashita. He was active as a singer-songwriter between 1980 and 1999, and is especially known for his hit song Hatsukoi (“First Crush”) from 1983. When he suddenly passed away due to a brain haemorrhage, he was only 46.
The thumbnail of this episode is a drawing inspired by my favourite song of his, Yūko, written in 1982. In the YouTube version of the episode, I share the process of drawing this piece in the background. I hope you’ll enjoy it.
