Song of the People / Kneeking Records
Peoplehood is not meant to create division. It is the inheritance of culture, history, and prayer, passed from one generation to the next.
This song was inspired by the definitions of *people* found in three Japanese dictionaries, as well as by a personal experience.
While taking pride in being Japanese, I was deeply moved by the honesty and kindness of people from another country. That experience led me to realize that kindness knows no ethnicity. It also reminded me that we are shaped not only by our bloodlines or national borders, but also by the people we meet and the places where we live.
Built on a foundation of reggae, enriched with the warmth of soul and gospel, Song of the People celebrates the beauty of recognizing our differences rather than erasing them.
One world, many people.
Our differences make this world beautiful.
