Love this one, am loving all your accapella tracks a lot...would be really interested in writing background music for it but I feel like i wouldn't be able to do it justice, plus there is something just beautiful about your accapella work

This is the traditional Japanese song for children, and it's very popular in Japan. The poem describes the nostalgia for the old memories of hometown.　

Here is the translation of the lyrics.
Red Dragonfly -Let's Go Home-
English Words (by Greg Irwin and Riko)

Dragonflies, as red as sunset,               
Back when I was young                          
In twilight skies, there on her back I’d ride  
When the day was done

Mountain fields, in late November            
Long ago it seems                      
Mulberry trees and treasures we would gather
Was it only just a dream?

Just fifteen, she went away one day                
Married then so young                        
Like a sister, lost, I loved and missed her
Letters never seemed to come

Dragonflies, as red as sunset,                   
Back when I was young                        
Now in my eyes, when I see dragonflies
Tears are always sure to come

lululu...

Let's go back,
Let's go back to somewhere

Let's go back,
Let's go back together

Let's go back to the childhood,
Let's go back to the sweet old days

Let's go back to my basics,
Let's go back while singing a song...

Dragonflies, as red as sunset,                   
Back when I was young                        
Now in my eyes, when I see dragonflies
Tears are always sure to come

Red Dragonfly -Let's go back-（赤とんぼ〜うちへ帰ろう〜）

This is a tune reworked and mixed properly. Sam Reynolds http://soundcloud.com/samfranklin-1 did his magic of mixing and mastering but also added a nifty bass part. Before I sent it to Sam I took the guitar part and raised the pitch from E to F# in Logic. That let me sing it without having an asthma attack on the low notes. But it also was like putting a capo on half way up the neck. Then I rerecorded the vocal on my new condenser mic hanging from the ceiling in my closet. Sam did some work on the guitar to get some body to them.

Best Wishes For You

Arcade Fire - Wake Up (acoustic)

Hi, this is Riko. I'm 25 years old singer and usually sing my original songs that I wrote. I don't use any musical instrument, and just sing with my voice. I'm living in Tohoku area of Japan and my town was hitted by the earthquake. So,I'll keep singing and praying for those who suffered great damage from this terrible disaster.
Here is the link of my second account.
I'll be happy if you check it out also!
