History
The area of present-day Kuji was part of ancient Mutsu Province, and has been settled since at least the Jomon period. Amber for the area has been found at archaeological sites dating from the Nara period at the site of Heijo-kyo and Fujiwara-kyo. During the Sengoku period, the area was dominated by various samurai clans before coming under the control of the Nambu clan during the Edo period, who ruled Hachinohe Domain under the Tokugawa shogunate. The area was noted for its production of ironsand, essential in the production of Japanese swords. These deposits were exploited commercially from the Meiji period, but were exhausted by the 1960s.

by: Marc AlmondNo no, no no no no
You're never never never going to let me go
You say I'm your possession
You say I'm your toy
You're gonna teach me a lesson
That I won't enjoy
I need to break free
You suffocate me
I'm in pain
I want to break out
I've got to escape these chains
You want all my love
So I've got none to spare
You drain all my resources
And you leave my heart bare
I'm eternally yours
I'm forever engaged
I'm caged
In a prison of love
I'm a tiger enraged
I'm caged
Let me out
No no, no no no no
You're never never never gonna let me go
You smother my will
To make me behave
I'm drugged on your love
To make me your slave
You love with a passion
But I'm swallowed by your desire
Your love is so hot
But I don't want to burn in the fire
You've got me tied in a tender rage
Like a captive dancer in a gilded cage
You feed me love on a silver spoon
With a leather glove by the light of the moon
For your pleasure
For your show
You're never never never gonna let me go
No no, no no no no
You're never never never gonna let me go
You think that I'll stray
So you'll never trust me
You tempt me each day
But I'll never be free
I'm eternally yours
I'm forever engaged
I'm caged
In a prison of love
I'm a tiger enraged
I'm caged
