Album Notes

Mineko blossomed her music inspiration in this album to talk to you and
expresses her feelings through piano with her great musicians, sometime
bursting, sometime so sweet and relaxing. Music for her is always something
based on happenings in her daily life and like another her language to
express various things when in a good time and a bad time, nothing more than
those.

Enjoy together with her music which she described her feeling histories!

This album is a memorial and 2nd CD for Mineko in Tokyo, which was released
and introduced on CD Journal Japan in 2004 when Mineko ended her career as a
working lady in Tokyo and had just started her new life with new family.
