Hatsukoi - Asaki Yumemishi (初恋〜浅き夢みし〜, 'first love - shallow dreams') is a 1983 album by Kōzō Murashita for CBS Sony.[1] The album is generally known by the large font title Hatsukoi, although the full title includes the small font subscript "Shallow dreams". The title track "Hatsukoi" had already been released as the artist's fifth single in February 1983, becoming his first major hit, and after his death remaining one of Murashita's best known and most covered songs. The other single from the album, "Odoriko", released the same day as the album, 25 August 1983, was also a hit. The album was reissued in 1990 and 2013, and is Murashita's best-selling album.
