Remember Like Yesterday

I went to a local restaurant to have a lunch today.
I had thought it was the first time to go there, but no.
The moment I enter the restaurant. The scene when I ate lunch with my grandmother and Mother came rushing back to me. I don't know when we went there, maybe it was four or five years ago. Actually It's been about two years since my grandmother passed away.
I can remember her voice and the way she talks like we went there yesterday.
I feel that sometimes time flies, sometimes time goes slowly. Nostalgic moment.
I don't know how to describe this feeling, but I don't want to forget it.

I love Grandma. Thank you for your love.
Please protect mom and me from the sky. I always think of you.

Special Radio Show at Fukushima AM.

We appeared on the radio show called "Sunday Ranking" on March 8th.

We aired a special program
because March 11, 2015 marked 4 years since the devastating earthquake in northeastern Japan.

Musicians who appear on the show regularly, got together and heard stories of listeners and
those who still live in shelters.
So many listeners sent messages to Fukushima AM.

Thank you all for your heartfelt words.

Of course, we sang songs for Fukushima.

I was glad to listen to other artists' performances
as we usually don't appear on the show all together at one time.

We chose our original song called "Be Alive" here.

(English Version)

We also wrote messages for Fukushima.

I wrote "Be Alive" because I appreciate the many encounters I have with my family, friends, and people like you (through music).

I would like to call this experience a 'miracle', thank you so much.

I will continue to make you cheer up. Hopefully you will receive this message!

What each can do is limited, but we can support each other and I believe we can do something to help strengthen and encourage for people who need to have a resilient spirit and fight against all odds.

Peace & Love to all over the world:)

Thanks for reading my blog.

See you soon!!!

Sweet Child O' Mine - Guns 'N Roses (Cover by Kimotto)

Hi there! How are you?

This is Kimotto from Japan!

I covered a song called "Child O' Mine" by Guns 'N Roses.

When I was a college student, I joined a band club and listened their songs a lot.

I learned a lot of things from the way that Axl sang.

Hopefully you enjoy my music;)

See you soon!
