Kokoro no Tomo (Cover)

FLORDELIZA SAMPANI NAKAGAWA, a talented singer from the Philippines who lives in Japan, is known as "Lorie".
The long-awaited cover album will be released under the name of "Lorie & Friends". She plans to release two cover albums. One is to cover Western-songs, and the other is Japanese-songs.
In advance to those albums, a leading digital single "Kokoro no Tomo" was released by "Lorie & Friends". This song was originally stored in the alubum "Shiosai" that Mayumi Itsuwa released in 1982.
 
"Kokoro no Tomo" was not popular in Japan at that time because it was not a single-cut, but it was a top song with Indonesia people.
It is said that an Indonesian exchange student heard and loved it in Japan, and requested for it a million times to Radio Station when he got back to Indonesia. This is the reason why it is said to be more popular in Indonesia.  In Indonesia, this song has been sung in Japanese for a long time by all generations, and finally it is said to be "the second national anthem". This time, Myanmar volunteers who live in Japan joined this arranged "Kokoro no Tomo" as the chorus. It makes an ending scene of magnificent scale, and it might make you feel a prayer for bottled-up state of the whole of Asia.
