Bob Brozmanとは初めて来日したときにライブを見て、もの凄く気に入り、一緒に沖縄料理を食べに行って意気投合。その後も頻繁にe-mailで連絡しあい「いつか一緒に」と言っていたのが実現した。２度目の来日の時に一緒にスタジオに入って、私の歌詞を見せ、それを見ながらBobが演奏してくれたギターとともに歌のかたちも出来た。ベースは後日、日本で、歌はバスクで録音。バスクへの人たちとは将来”green”で一緒に何かやる予定。

I really enjoyed Bob Brozman’s first live concert in Tokyo. We became good friends by talking about many things over Okinawan food. We exchanged e-mails quite often after that, and hoped to work together someday. This song is when it happened. We worked together in the studio when he came to Tokyo for the second time. This song was formed and recorded after I showed him my lyrics. Bob played the guitar while looking at the lyrics and I sang along to it. The basic track was recorded in Tokyo and my final vocal was recorded in the Basque. I am planning to work again with people in the Basque on my future album “green”.
