Blessing in disguise

[Machine Translation] Yotaro Ito, from Metrophallus to participation in theater, his first solo album in more than 30 years of musical activity! People are always in disguise anyway. I like this word by Boris Vian, and I wanted to use the word Disguise in the title of this album, but I also wanted to use the word "Blessing in Disguise", which sounds unhappy but is actually a good thing. It's a painful sigh of relief, but it's not so bad after all, right? It's a bit of a sigh of pain, but it's not so bad after all... / / / / / / omitted / / / / Hey, what's this, not much effort at all for a first solo album, but wait...it's a kind of "My Life" with a lot of feelings. Please listen to it first.
