letters2

[Machine Translation] This is the second volume of "letters", an excellent work of self-covering songs that he has provided to many artists as a songwriter. The songs include the latest single by Hiromi Goh and Yui Aragaki, with whom he has collaborated on TV, recorded mainly with piano. The simple sound of the songs is filled with the heart-wrenching songs that only the author can write. In addition to the songs provided by the artist, an original song, "Senpai no Palm of My Hand," is also included. This piece was composed as the theme song for the Kamakura Music Festival held every summer at Tsurugaoka Hachiman-gu Shrine to pray for the regeneration of the large ginkgo tree that felled last year. The song was performed for the first time at the festival last year, sung and performed by all the participating artists including Kawae, and received a great ovation.

ソングライターとして数々のアーティストに提供した楽曲をセルフカバーした秀作「letters」の第二弾! TVでも共演した郷ひろみの最新シングルや、新垣結衣のシングル曲などをピアノ弾き語りを中心にレコーディング。シンプルなサウンドの中に、作者ならではの心に沁みる歌が綴られる。また提供楽曲以外にもオリジナル楽曲「千枚の手のひらを」も収録。この楽曲は昨年倒木した鶴岡八幡宮の大銀杏の再生を祈り、同地で毎年夏に行われる鎌倉音楽祭のテーマソングとして作られた作品。昨年の同音楽祭で川江を含む全出演アーティストの歌唱・演奏で初披露され、喝采を浴びた。
