Song of the Small World 07:05
lyrics
小さな世界の歌 大きな あくびでたよ 足の裏あったかいね まだまだ寝たくないよ 大好きな絵本読んで 穏やかに眠る君は 激しさを忘れさせる 気が付けば朝になって 支度をして出発しよう 保育所の友達 大きな滑り台 蓮池の白鳥 帰り道の夕焼け それは、君の小さな世界 目をつむり 広がる世界 今日もまた旅をする 温かい床の上の 特別な君の場所 遊んだ後の部屋 散らかったおもちゃたち 脱ぎ捨てたエプロン 小さな靴下 小鳥のさえずり 夕方の探検 石川の風景 毎日の大発見 それは、君の素敵な世界 ------------------------------------- Song of the Small World a big yawn came out soles are warm don't want to sleep still more like to read a favorite picture book you who sleep calmly let me forget intensity when noticing it's a morning gets ready and let's leave friends in nursery school a big slide swans in a hasu pond sunset of the way home that's your small world close your eyes, the world spreads out you do a trip again today this is your special place on a warm floor a room after having played scattered toys an apron you threw off small socks chirping of small birds explorations in the evening scenery of Ishikawa everyday great discovery that's your beautiful world

Roubai 04:25
lyrics
蝋梅 息は　白くなり 刺さる　空気 不意に　感じる 甘い　香り 硝子のような　花弁が 風に揉まれて　届く時 やさしい　気持ち 光が　照らして きらり　きらり　反射　してる 黄色の子達　ゆらゆらと 風に遊ばれ　うれしそう 雲や　空と 旅の　途中 ---------------------------- Roubai the breathe becomes white the air sticks feel it suddenly sweet fragrance petals such as the glass suffers hardship in wind and reaches gentle feeling light lights it up reflects shiningly shiningly small yellow buds plays with the wind and seems happy with cloud and sky traveling

about

Since we moved to Hiroshima which is my hometown, I've been busy for raising children and still now.

For my new album I write some songs for my kids. These two small songs are for them each other.I made CD of these songs for our parents and Shichi-go-san celebrate, which is an annual Japanese festival to celebrate the growth of children.

"song of the small world" starts with field recording. My son says "it's cute voice!" when he hear twitter of a bird. The world he lives is seems so small for us, but it is his everything and is beautiful. I feel All moment are nobly.

"Roubai" is a tree that it blooms a small yellow flower in winter. English name is "winter sweet." When our daughter was born, my wife's mom planted this tree as a memorial tree. Every time we visit her house in winter, our heart becomes peaceful in small yellow flowers and sweet fragrance.

Motohiro Nakashima Japan

The Japanese ambient folk guitarist, Motohiro Nakashima, explore the music of a scenery in memories. The sounds is calm like The Seto Inland Sea where he grew, and sometimes it has a gloomy expression like a sun setting on the sea. The finger-picking-style guitar plays warm minimalism like a wave, and the melody that reminds people's memories are gentle and friendly. ... more
