Toten Paul is a human rights education entertainer who conveys the importance of taking action to resolve bullying issues.On the 30th anniversary of the Great Hanshin-Awaji Earthquake that triggered my activities, I have released a collection of guitar-accompanied songs that I have been singing as insert songs for human rights education lectures in educational settings.The first half of the song is a collection of songs that express what I felt during a 212-day journey in 2007, when I spent 212 days sleeping in my car and preaching on the streets of all 47 prefectures in Japan.The album title ``WE ARE THE FAMILY'' was created in collaboration with the Takamatsu City Human Rights Research Group in Kagawa Prefecture to coincide with Pink Shirt Day, a global anti-bullying movement held every February. Produced in 2024, ``Follow Me Follow Love'' is a message song to young people who are considering taking their own lives after being hurt by slander on SNS, and this album ends with ``Follow Me Follow Love''.
