Anyone tell me
Tell me why I'm feelin’ this way
Who knows? That's what they say
But you get only one to cut me loose
You got to know me, someway, somehow
Wish that I could be the one
The same as you do to me
Feeling alright, if I could
Feeling alright, if I could
Could I be the one to talk ‘bout in
All of you oh
Feeling alright, if you don’t
Have to say it if you don't want to
Could I be the one to walk along
With you
Everytime you take
Take everyone so seriously
I know you’re such a person
‘Don’t ever turns away from someone’s need’
You seem worn out...So worn out
Wish that I could be the one
Who drive your fatigue away
Feeling alright, if I could
Feeling alright, if I could
Could I be the one you talk ‘bout in
All of you oh
Feeling alright, if you don’t
Have to say it if you don't want to
Could I be the one to walk along
With you
We got to laugh at the stupidity
Lying on the couch, just to feel you
Hey, don’t be so critical
Well this time I’m serious to be
To be a someone
To make you fill your life of missing piece
Feeling alright, if I could
Feeling alright, if I could
Could I be the one you talk ‘bout in
All of you oh
Feeling alright, if you don’t
Have to say it if you don't want to
Could I be the one to walk along
With you
Feeling alright, if I could
Feeling alright, if I could
Could I be the one you talk ‘bout in
All of you oh
Feeling alright, if you don’t
Have to say it if you don't want to
Could I be the one to walk along
With you
Feeling alright, if I could
Feeling alright, if I could
Could I be the one you talk ‘bout in
All of you oh
Feeling alright, if you don’t
Have to say it if you don't want to
Could I be the one to walk along
With you
Feeling alright, if I could
Feeling alright, if I could
Could I be the one you talk ‘bout in
All of you oh
Feeling alright, if you don’t
Have to say it if you don't want to
Could I be the one to walk along
With you
Feeling alright, if I could
Feeling alright, if I could
Could I be the one you talk ‘bout in
All of you oh

What's Love
Hori Katsura
Singer-songwriter Katsura Hori officially launches her solo project with the release of her first original EP, My anthology. The project has already garnered significant anticipation, successfully reaching 117% of its goal through a pre-release crowdfunding campaign.
Rooted in R&B, Soul, Jazz, Country and Rock, this work seamlessly blends contemporary alternative pop elements. By delivering "uniquely Japanese, modest, and delicate emotions" through rhythmic English lyrics, Hori achieves a sophisticated balance between infectious grooves and deep emotional resonance.
The EP is produced by Manabu Imada, a singer-songwriter featured on the compilation album City Music Tokyo interchange (curated by Kunimondo Takiguchi of Ryusenkei) and an award-winning artist in various music competitions. The arrangements, synthesizers, and piano feature Hiroaki Idaka, the pianist of the world-renowned salsa band Orquesta De La Luz. The studio lineup is rounded out by a formidable group of internationally active musicians, including Yosuke Fujiwara (Gt), toyo (Ba), and aine fujioka (Dr).
Following her 2018 cover album Leave Love Behind and her activities with the acoustic unit futarinote, this release marks a definitive return to her solo career- a true "anthology" that reflects her musical evolution.
