Open Up

ワークシャイや小田和正,森夕など各国の人々の曲をニューヨークのスタジオで録音。そのせいか,かなりアシッド・ジャズっぽいファンク感覚を持った曲が多い。意欲は窺えるが残念ながら本領を発揮し切れていないのでは。日本語や英語の歌も魅力に欠ける。
" We are all one, existing on this earth but in order for us to truly live and have a better future it is of the utmost importance that we share and give of ourselves to one another. Only through this path can we evolve into better human beings. This album is my attempt to enter into a dialogue with you and share my innermost feelings.
To be totally honest and reveal myself in the spirit of love and compassion. No fear, no guilt, no shame... by looking inside we discover our inner self, in it's true form with all it's weaknesses and defects. But these are just norms imposed on us by society, hence a little rebellion is necessary in order for us to break away and see our true self in a different light. The music in this album embodies such a space. It is representative of the harmonious sharing of Eastern and Western cultures... the mingling of divergent people in a colorful collaboration as they come from all over Asia, United States and the United Kingdom.
May love, peace and happiness be there for everyone to embrace. "
