Empty calendar
With no plan
No place to go
Nothing to do
No one to see
But you
We’ll go out and about
Riverside not so special
Will we be on the sunny side?
Doesn’t matter
No one will be around but us
I’ll keep my calendar empty

Will we be on the sunny side?
Doesn’t matter
No one will be around but us
I’ll keep my calendar empty
With no plan
No place to go
Nothing to do
No one to see
But you

A Wall and Sands (feat. Shun Ishiwaka & Gensuke Kanki)
Tomoko Miyata
Where do we journey when the weight of the world finally lifts? Tomoko Miyata's album "unbound" gently speaks to this question through seven intimate musical narratives.
Having honed her musical talents in Los Angeles and New York, Tomoko Miyata now resides in the serene embrace of Amami Oshima, Japan.
Here, she encounters Gensuke Kanki, a guitarist and composer who crafts a unique sound, gracefully traversing genres. His guitar work intertwines with her voice, weaving an album rich in texture and profound emotion.
Penned in both English and Japanese, the lyrics vividly depict the worlds she has known and the present moment, resonating with themes of stark beauty: the interplay of dazzling light and deep darkness, the lingering scent of memory against the immediacy of now, and the flow of time. Delicate yet powerful guitar performances embrace her voice, illuminating the intricate landscape of the heart where light and shadow dance as one. The presence of guest musicians Shun Ishiwaka on drums and Romero Lubambo on guitar further enriches this sonic tapestry.
Beyond original compositions, their reinterpretations of songs by Tom Waits and Toru Takemitsu, timeless artists who continue to touch hearts across generations, cast a new and enchanting light upon their enduring magic.
May this album gently guide each listener to their own "unbound" within, a place where the soft caress of limitless love and a delicate, unwavering light await.
