¡Spring, Time of New Beginnings



The blooming season of the year has come and cherry trees are about to blossom. Hope you are well. Spring is the time of farewells and new beginnings, and I have an announcement to make today that is perfect for such season.

Beginning on April 1, 2006, All Nippon Airlines (ANA) is going to start a new in-flight music channel that exclusively provides quality healing / new age music. Furthermore, my piano solo album "The Piano of Love" was officially approved as one of the first tunes to be broadcasted on the channel. The sounds of the nature such as waves, water drops, wind as well as the twitters of birds are added to the original songs in my album, guiding your mind, body and soul to the world of serenity.

The ANA's healing music channel will be available for a month from April 1, 2006 on both domestic and international flights. If you happen to travel on ANA, please take a moment to tune into the new channel and immerse yourself with the soothing and uplifting sounds. I hope you will enjoy the world of my piano that is relatively different than before.

"The Piano of Love" in the skyc what a special and joyful thing!

Last month, coincidentally, Chorus Harumion started practicing the song "Yume-Hiko (Dream Flying)."

+ want to fly away to the end of the sky, Going on a ship of hopes
No matter what happens, Will never give up and will keep on living
Because there is always the blue sky over the clouds

Let's fly away to the end of the sky! Going on a ship of love
We will share our dreams with everyone
We will share our heart with you, you, and you

Let's spread dreams colored in rainbow, To the world that never ends
We will share our heart with you, you, and you +

I made this song, "Yume-Hiko," inspired by an image of flying over to the sky using highway as runaway, and it is my theme song at the present moment. Wish everyone will feel at ease listening to this song.
