Japan's 3/11 disaster is the inspiration for this 6 song ep. Living in northern Japan has allowed me the opportunity to help and talk to many who have suffered much more than I had from that disaster. This ep is my hope and prayer for the Japanese. It is a journey of what many of us experience when bad things happen. Life seems to be going well and then, "Totsuzen", which in Japanese means, "suddenly" something happens. Suddenly, which is how difficulties usually begin. Afterwards, most of us ask why and wonder what to do with these feelings of loss that just seem to linger. But the Lord is always there wanting to help us, wanting us to come to Him. When we do, we find a comfort and a peace that we never knew was possible.
*I want to thank my God who gave me these songs, my family for supporting me through this project, Makoto Kanamaru for supplying his excellent bass work on the song "Come to Me", Tara Jones for the cover art work on the project and Jared Jones for his technical help.
