[Machine Translation] In 1994, he began working as a unit with poet Koko Takabayashi, and in the space of 25 years, they have created more than 100 songs together. He has released an album of his own covers of some of his most memorable works, "Winter Crow," which is a song about the world of Koko Takabayashi. The album is beautifully staged, as if the space and lighting of the stage are given a wonderful touch by the sound world created by Naoki Sugiyama, who is an indispensable arranger for this team. My favorites are the title track "Winter Raven" and "Gojozaka" and "Burusu". 1. Winter Raven / "If you fly, fly high, fly far, fly strong..." A raven was looking up at the freezing sky and trying to fly as high as it could. It overlapped with the image of a woman who is trying to find tomorrow by releasing herself from the spell of love. A raven in winter, this is a story spun out of a melody. 2. I had no doubts in my mind that this was who I was, and I spent all my time working. Then, I had a rare moment of free time and went on a small trip. A little stopover in life, and it was good! I was completely revitalized, you say? Well, listen to this great song. 3. Gojozaka/Kyoto Gojozaka is a long-established pottery store in the middle of Chawan-zaka, which is separated from Gojozaka. I was born under the fate of being the only daughter of this place. Protecting the goodwill and tradition is the most important thing, but I am also a woman.... Even if people say that we don't match, even if they know that she is a kamagure, we will never forget her...'" Kamagure, a craftsman who travels to kilns all over Japan to hone his skills as a potter, and nowadays such craftsmen are few and far between. 4. They were happy for two years, happy enough, so I won't cry..." "But why? So why not? Looking back, I knew that we were happy at the same time as the feeling of good-bye. So at least end it in style, like me! Kobe Mercure / It's cold in Kobe in winter! But you want to walk around the seaside in a strangely fashionable way. There are lovers in the midst of their youth, and some people make you think, "Hey, what's this couple? Some people make you think, "Hey, what's this couple doing here? I wish all the people rubbing shoulders were happy. Oh, you two sad-looking people, be the stars of a wonderful fairy tale in the magic wand I wave. Winter fireworks for you, and a little love wine too, my dear.
