[Machine Translation] After the earthquake, Yukako Ikeda, a psychotherapist who has been visiting the disaster areas continuously, got involved with many people there and what she talked, heard, and felt became words, melodies, and songs as they are. The songs are not just run-of-the-mill cheering songs, but rather, she sings and expresses her honest feelings about the strength, weakness, and resilience of people, with an arrangement that is not bound by any genre. M1 "Your Just the Way You Are": Everyone has someone they love, whether they are close by or far away. Whether they are close by or far away, we want you to listen to this song thinking of them. M7 "Just Pray": People experience various joys and sorrows in their lives. I want you to feel the sensations of those times without suppressing them. I want you to talk about them. I believe that no matter what happens, if you don't give up, your friends will be there for you. Yukako Ikeda, a former nurse, felt that the state of one's mind greatly affects one's health, so she studied stress care and communication, and became a psychotherapist in 1995. She used her experience to establish "Health Support En" in Kobe to support people's mind and body. She has loved singing since she was a child and used to compose music by humming. She has been singing since she was a child and composing songs by humming, and while she played the guitar as a student, she had a life away from music for a while. She has sung in various work situations and at disaster-stricken areas to convey her message.
