やさしいキス - gentle kiss - ( A Part Of Me EP)

NYアポロシアター・アマチュアナイトをオリジナル曲で沸かせ

キャロル・キングやジョニ・ミッチェルとニューソウルをバックグラウンドに持ち、
シルキーかつエアリーな歌声で聴くものの心を揺さぶる。今作はNYでのレコーディングや

アマチュアナイトでオーディエンスを湧かせた M-2「You are my love」をはじめ、
M-1「Water Flower」は彼女の持つナチュラルで透明感あるボーカルに注目してもらいたい。
M-5 「Touching Souls」, M-8「朝にかえる」はライターとしての彼女の非凡な才能を見せてくれ、
またボーカリストとしての表現力、存在感もたっぷり感じ取ってもらえる楽曲に仕上がっている。

Kei wrote "MADOROMI" for a Japanese TV music program for children. This program is named “MINNA NO UTA,” which means, “Everybody’s song." It debuted in 1961 and continues to be broadcast today on NHK. It is broadcast on TV everyday from June to July. Recorded in LA with Jon Brion.

Lyrics (English Translation)

"MADOROMI" (means “doze” )

Sound of leaves in the wind
Close my eyes
Like the lace curtains balloon gently MADOROMI
It's faling into a doze (Feeling drowsy) It's beatiful aftenoon besides mom
In harf asleep,
I hear the sound dad opens the door “I'm home”
They whispers so as not to wake me 
MADOROMI
It's smell of dad
It's warmth in his arms

Carry me into bed, into my dream
Acting like I'm sleeping completely
I listen closely for parent's world
I wonder if mom talks about the picture which I painted today to him I hope to know

MADOROMI
It's a continuation of dream

Carry me into bed, into my dream Acting like I'm sleeping completely I hear he mutters
“You became heavy.”
I'm stil acting like I'm sleeping
Because I hope to stay like this a little bit more
MADOROMI

( in morning )
In harf asleep Smelling of soup
It soon be breakfast

まどろみ

MADOROMI

Written by Kei Owada
Produced by Jon Brion

A beautiful short film was born from this song.
Chick this out!!

Closing Time - Lyrics(Translation)

Maybe it’s closing time
We will have to end our night
Turn off the light of memory
Let the truth of my own feelings now reveal
Maybe this is the time
We will wake up to find
I know, I know, you know
It’s over

The shining star in your eyes caught me in a blink
From the moment  I met you
It told me that it was a long ago
We were made for each other once
Our path has crossed again

But baby it’s closing time
I will have to go tonight
Turn off the light of memory
We will find our own star through the darkest night
Maybe this closing night
We will wake up to find 
I know, I know, you know
It’s over
It’s time to let go

Thousand stars for a thousand nights
All we wanted was to reach for
The same star we thought
We thought different, we act different, but it was the dream that kept us
So close like a twin

The star in your eyes when it called my name
The star in my eyes must have called your name 
We both believed that we were made of the same single star

Baby I’ll miss you but it’s time for us to let us free
Turn off the light of memory 
I will follow the brightness my heart reveals
It’s not the star we sought
But the journey that brought us here
Was the very thing we longed for
And now we have come where this ends

Baby it’s closing time 
We will be moving on
Turn off the light of memory
Embrace the darkness that we once knew in a reverie
Our love stays in my heart
Shining like the brightest star
But I know, you know, we both know
It’s over
Let ourselves go

この試みに共鳴し、コラボレーション作ってみました。

Shingo Suzukiさんのトラックに歌（言葉とメロディ）を乗せて。
歌詞はWILLIAM BLAKEの詩”The Blossom”を引用して、
日本語詞を加えて、コラージュ。
景色の違う今年の春。
それでも花は咲いていて、私達を見守ってる。

”The Blossom" by William Blake　（Original 原文)

Merry, merry sparrow!　　陽気な、陽気なすずめさん
Under leaves so green　　緑鮮やかな木陰から
A happy blossom　　　　幸せそうに咲き誇る花が
Sees you, swift as arrow,　あなたのことをみているよ
Seek your cradle narrow,　あなたのゆりかごを探してごらん
Near my bosom.　　　　　私の胸のほうへ

Pretty, pretty robin!　　　　可愛い、可愛い　こまどりさん
Under leaves so green　　　緑が鮮やかな木陰から
A happy blossom　　　　咲き始めた幸せな花が
Hears you sobbing, sobbing,　あなたの声を聞いているよ
Pretty, pretty robin,　　　可愛い、可愛い　こまどりさん
Near my bosom.　　　　私の胸へおいで

（I added Japanese phrase by myself 日本語部分は追加）
