Rake
is also the one who believes in power of music. Besides, he lives in and he is based in Sendai where he was born in
, while he holds live performances and takes part in open-air events at various places. His masterpiece "Hyakumankaino I love you" (million-times "I love you")
was released two days before the 3.11 earthquake. "Hyakumankaino ..." (million-times "...")
After going through the earthquake disaster and hardship, this experience was made into the title tune of this album "Subarashiki sekai" (wonderful world)
.
But as he watched people unite as one and go through hardship, he grew his resolution to live in Sendai and work the life and soul of his home town. I think the song that expresses his love for his home district the best is " Town Beat
".
