The new song `` Train to Hope '' was cut off for nine years following the tsunami and the nuclear power plant in the Great East Japan Earthquake in 2011, and the first train on the Joban Line, `` Limited Express Hitachi-3 '', was restored for the first time in nine years in March this year. It is a song composed by watching the state of the local people who greet you on YOUTUBU.
A new song composed in the first half with the hope of the reconstruction and the future along the Joban Line. The second half is a song inspired by Takahiro Watanabe's favorite region, the Izu region. And we are re-recording the famous songs from "Gracias a la vida" and "Isle of Capri" with a new arrangement.

Artist Profile

  • Takehiro

    Born in Saitama Prefecture in 1983, he is a composer, arranger, and player of the piano and synthesizer. After leaving his position as a school teacher (Japanese language) due to health issues, he founded WATATAKE Sound Co., Ltd., where he managed sound assets and engaged in music and video production from 2013 to 2017. In late 2017, he signed a contract with TuneCore to distribute his original music both domestically and globally. He gained recognition for a collection of Japanese nursery rhyme covers released in 2018 since then, he has continued to release arrangements of traditional nursery rhymes and songs, as well as humorous original compositionsoften featuring animal themes. He also creates easylistening music, a genre he has been familiar with since childhood. Influenced by masters of the easylistening genre (such as Paul Mauriat and Franck Pourcel), legendary film composers (including Henry Mancini, Lalo Schifrin, and Francis Lai) and icons of Brazilian music such as bossa nova pioneer Antonio Carlos Jobim and Ivan Lins he crafts music that resonates with a wide range of generations. Following a hiatus due to health concerns, he resumed live performances in 2026, with further events scheduled for 2027. A staunch opponent of AI in creative work, he handles every aspect of his musicfrom composition to arrangemententirely on his own.
