Let’s make a crane
Fold by fold the paper
With wishes and prayers
One and two, more and more
One thousand cranes our wishes will come true
The boy has
A locket with crane inside
His mother give to her son
“Please come back home safe”
She always prays with love
Believe in the future
The girl cannot move her body well
By the end in the hospital room alone
Even she is making cranes with hope
Fly into the sky all over the world
Carrying the children on a thousand wings
To a place free of pain, fear, suffering and loneliness
May they rest in peace
They lost homes, parents
Siblings, friends and everything
No one knows they’re gone
Feeling alone
The war took the many children’s life
We must not forget
They fly into the sky
Their life carried on a thousand wings
If nothing had happened
What future would you
Have dreaming for the world
Fly into the sky all over the world
Carrying the prayers on a thousand wings
Forgiving, understanding, accepting each other
Always be kind
To make the world peace
Take our hands, folded one by one
Let us make cranes together
One and two
More and more
Our wishes “Orizuru”
From around the world’s friends

Marking the 20th anniversary of the artist's music career, this long-awaited new work, after two and a half years, has been released! To spread the message to people all around the world, an English version of all the songs, titled "Orizuru" (KHMO-0023), Japanese version "sennohaneniinoriwonosete" (KHMO-0022) has been released at the same time!
---------------------------
The artist, being a second-generation hibakusha (atomic bomb survivor), born to a father who experienced the atomic bombing in Hiroshima, has continued to sing a song called "Song to the Sky-Memory of Hiroshima & Nagasaki-" since the early days of their career. This song, infused with the wishes and prayers passed down from their family, has been reborn with a new string arrangement and is included in this new album. Also features three tracks filled with prayers for peace, including a flute instrumental.
Additionally, the artist launched a project to collect origami cranes from fans, and the breathtaking album cover was created using around 2,000 paper cranes. This masterpiece, imbued with prayers in every detail, has finally been completed.
