Introducing the Members of the 20th Anniversary Project vol.8

-“Izayoi” arranged by Akira Inoue- This song was written by Chihiro Imai, my husband, more than 10 years ago. I sang at my concerts but never have officially released it. This song describes a woman’s regretful feeling that she wishes she could fix the relationship but has to breakup. “Izayoi” in Japanese means the moon just passed full moon. “Izayoi” is used as a metaphor of the woman’s feeling in this song. The guitarist I would like to introduce today, Masayoshi Furukawa, helped make the song even more emotional. Mr. Furukawa and I have mutual artist friends such as Satoru Sakamoto and SHUUBI. He also supports a lot of great artists and I have seen him at their concerts, and this time I asked him yo join my album for the first time. We recorded his acoustic guitar and electric guitar, but he plays them so well that I couldn’t stop smiling. He now is based in LA, so I’m really glad our schedule worked out. He is a very kind person and you can hear it in the sound of guitar too. Please look forward to “Izayoi,” written by Mr. Furukawa!
