About the song "Bon Anniversaire":
Immediately after the death of my father in October 2021, the views I saw, the sky, the leaves of the street trees sparkling in the sunlight, etc., looked different, like he existed in the sky itself, in the leaves themselves. I wanted to keep what I had felt then in mind. That made me write this song.
Happy Birthday to everyone everyware everyday.
I wish for a world without war where human dignity of everyone everywhere is respected.
Sawako
