brother / balance

This song is dedicated to his younger brother, Takashi Uchiyama, who passed away during the production of "All the Shades of Blue," and is the only solo guitar song on the album. Regarding solo guitar, I had recorded ``Norwegian Wood'' in my live performances and in my previous album ``NEO,'' but this was the first time I had written an original song for solo guitar. It was an unforgettable event and song for me. This is a requiem dedicated to the late Takashi Uchiyama and his shop "balance". http://satoru-uchiyama.net
