Scarborough Fair
In the hope of world peace, We offer from Hiroshima the hidden anti-war lyrics of Simon&Garfunkel's Scarborough Fair accompanied by Gagaku. This ancient imperial count music is more than 1200 years old.
I dedicate this CD to my grandparents who lost their lives in Hiroshima during the atomic bombing. Everyone, please visit Hiroshima to learn the importance of peace.
From You and Back to You
Izumi wrote lyrics based on a sudden strong inspiration which came to her when she visited Izumo Taisha Grand Shrine in Shimane. It is about the gifts of hardship given to us by gods in order to find true happiness after overcoming our troubles.
From You and Back to You
Izumi's lyrics are translated into five languages: Spanish, Korean, English, French, and Arabic.
