New Track!
"Join the World (Help! Japan! 311 supporters' official song)" under "Others".
Message from yoko: This is a supporters' song for a Japan Disaster Relief organization "Help! Japan! 311". As part of the charity campaign, I decided to write this song to support their activity. Since the lyrics are mostly written in Japanese, I will upload the score only here. Audio file will be uploaded on to their website in the near future. Please keep your eyes on my news updates for the coming announcement.

-Limited Download Available from March 11 to April 12, 2011-
Message from yoko: I have been thinking of what I could do to all the victims of one of the biggest earthquake and tsunami occurred in Japan on 2011 March 11th, and figured out that it is music that I could contribute the most, and decided to release two of my past works as limited time free download.
One of them is called "Planetarium Bar" 2011.03.11 project edition, this piece is originally composed for music therapy with the hint of alpha-wave relaxation algorithm for harmonics and the rhythm.
Another one is called "Sakura -Chorale-", this is the one I wrote to pray for the peace when I heard from a good friend of mine about the terrorist attack happened in her home town, Mumbai.
Both of them were dedicated to all the people who needs serenity in their mind, time for relaxation and good sleep. When a tragidy happens to us - I know we tend to lack decent amount of sleep due to the anxieties and fears we have.
What I hope through this 2011.03.11 project is, to deliver some "peace of mind". Please feel free to spread the words, and share the links.
Best wishes, and lots of love.
Yoko
2011年3月11日、日本で起こった東北地方太平洋沖地震のニュースを見て、私なりに何か少しでも貢献できる事がないかと考えました。その結果、やはり一番自分が人々に貢献できるのは音楽という手段を通してだという一つの結論に辿り着き、今回のフリー・ダウンロードの企画に至った次第です。
元々この２曲は、"Planetarium Bar"の方が人に眠りや安らぎを与えるセラピーミュージックをテーマに、"Sakura -Chorale-"の方が平和を願う為に生み出されたものです。今回の様な惨事に見舞われた時、私たちは不安や恐れから眠れない夜を過ごす事が多々あります。
そんな混沌とした状態の中で、私の子供達とも言える音楽が少しでも皆様の心の平和を生み出す為に役立ってくれれば、安らかな眠りの時間へと誘う手助けとなってくれれば、と願っております。
期間限定プロジェクトではありますが、どうぞ心行くまでお楽しみ下さいませ。一日も早く、被災地の皆様に平和な時が訪れます様、心よりお祈り申し上げます。
