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.
Born in Saitama Prefecture in 1983, he is a composer, arranger, and player of piano and synthesizers. After leaving his job as a school teacher due to health issues, he founded WATATAKE Sound Co., Ltd., operating from 2013 to 2017; the company handled sound source management, music production, and video creation. In late 2017, he signed a contract with TuneCore and began distributing his original music both domestically and internationally. He gained attention with a 2018 album of Japanese children's song covers and has since released arrangements of children's songs and traditional school songs, comical animal-themed tracks, and humorous original compositions. He also produces easy-listening albums, a genre he has loved since childhood. Influenced by easy-listening masters such as Paul Mauriat and Franck Pourcel, as well as Henry Mancini, Armando Trovajoli, Lalo Schifrin, Bert Kaempfert, and Brazilian music, he currently creates music that appeals to a wide range of generations. Additionally, he has resumed performing at live events after a hiatus caused by his health issues.
