Sep. 3, 2010first) Last year, there were full of word "kizuna" ("bonds" or "ties")
in Japan, for better or for worse: Due to 3.11 earthquake, there have been various bonds strengthened and various bonds torn apart. And various musicians have written songs expressing about bonds; bonds of friendship, family ties...and life continued generation by generation. This album could also be the one, as the title "Te to te" (hand and hand)
shows. Besides,Kana Uemura She experienced 1.17 Kobe earthquake in her childhood. (See Jan. 16, 2012)
After she grew up to be a popular singer, there was 3.11 earthquake. "Himawari" (sunflower)
is dedicated to survivors in the stricken area. It took time for Kana to raise in popularity until "Toireno kamisama" (the god of the toilet)
became a smash hit. "Toireno kamisama" is a song about her memories with Grandmother. And again, songs about family are included in this album; "Sekaiichi gohan" (mom's cooking, the best food in the world)
Chimugukuru". "Kimito boku" (you and me)
and "Gomenne." (I'm sorry)
"My Favorite Songs" is about her wish that her songs would be "favorite songs" and supports for someone one day, just like favorite songs for Kana
.
Excluding Sing Like Talking and Toshiki Kadomatsu families, I think she is the first musician I placed more than one CD on "Favorite"
