"Joy" means "Yorokobi",a quiet kind of happiness.
It's so natural that we often pass it by,
yet it never truly leaves us.
It's a happiness that is always there,
as long as we are willing to open our hearts to it.
Warm and gentle,
never flashy,
but undeniably real
I hope this album allows even one more person
to feel and share in that quiet joy.
