Description:

All songs on the NEW single "Sen no Hane ni Prayer wo Otto" are recorded in English version to reach people all over the world! The new song "Orizuru" was inspired by Sadako Sasaki, the model for the A-bomb statue in Hiroshima Peace Memorial Park, and Shozo Kawamoto, an A-bomb orphan who lived a life of great tragedy. May the future of these children be peaceful... May their prayers reach the future of the world. This magnificent ballad is a prayer for peace. As a second generation survivor of the atomic bombing, having a father who was exposed to radiation in Hiroshima, the song "Song To The Sky ~Memory of Hiroshima & Nagasaki~", which she has sung since the beginning of her career, has been reborn with a string arrangement and is now included on this album. The album includes three songs including a flute instrumental, plus an instrumental, all of which are "prayers for peace". The jacket illustration, which was completed with approximately 2,000 origami cranes collected from a project to collect cranes for prayer from fans, is also a masterpiece. The album is a huge work of art that contains prayers in every corner of the album.Finally, the first new album in two and a half years has been released to mark the 20th anniversary of his music career! The Japanese version of the songs on this single CD, "Sen no Hane ni Prayer wo Nodotte" (KHMO-0022), which is sung entirely in Japanese, will be released at the same time!
