I tried singing my previously released song "Anata to"
only in the Okinawan dialect.
When I was a child,
my grandparents, parents, and the adults around me spoke
the dialect on a daily basis.
Nowadays the number of people who can speak it is decreasing.
I wrote this song to express my gratitude to my late father
and to heal my heart.
This time, I forced myself to sing it only in the dialect,
with the hope that it would reach my ancestors as well.
Please give it a listen.
