はじまりはすべてある 生まれたそのとき 終わりゆくそのときのいのち 声をあらげて涙を流し あらぶれたその懺悔を すべて許している 何もない空き家のわたしを 良いな、って気に入ってくれた 結ばれてそうなったんじゃない あたらしい日をゆくために逢えた いつもきっとそこにいて ずっと 弾いてみよう 聴いてみよう (english) The start has everything to do with the life when it came to the world when it is going to end Raised your voice and cried and forgive all of these fierce confessions You loved me as an empty home It happened not by getting tied together but we met each other to go through our new lives Stay here every time and forever, Let’s play, let’s listen

どこかとおくへ行きましょう とまどいもなく そこに立ちましょう 知らない国の風になり うたがいもなく 未知に会いましょう 色んなことが押し寄せて 消えていった 鳥が鳴くころ 雨は止み 雷も風も去り (english) Go to far away from here Stand there without confusion Become the wind in new country See the unknown territory The wave came in with great force and disappeared When the birds sing, the rain will stop The thunder and wind will gone

私とあなたが 二つの空き家 場所と場所 交差して 少しの間の 大切すぎた時間が いつまでも残る ありがとう あなたの中が育つとき 私の中もきっと育ち 愛しい気持ちが いつまでもよみがえる いつまでもあざやか 胸がきゅっうとなる (english) You and me Two vacant houses Place to place Intersecting A little while Two precious a time Remaining infinity Thank you When you grow internally me I surely will too That yearning feeling Emerges at any moment Vibrant as ever Feels bitter sweet

about

Recorded last year, while Ytamo was expecting her first child, this moving collection of piano and vocal performances is a kind of 41-minute lullaby for grown-ups – breathtaking.

The Moderns / Kevin Press


Last year, I had my first child. This album is a meditation about that experience, but also about the expectation of that experience. I had an image about pregnancy for this song"The start is everything". I filmed the piece during the pregnancy, and to be honest, it was a truly mysterious experience for me. I’m not sure everyone feels about it like this, but I found the whole experience to be really unusual, but completely special.

I started to think about this idea that a newborn baby has a perfect body and mind, but as we grow older, things change and finally we become zero. That is the image that guided how I approached the film for this song. I took a lot of short images using my iPhone across the past couple of years, and I edited those images and projected them on the wall in my house.

The projections represent this idea of transition in life, and moving to Zero. I shot the film using my camera over a few days. This was the first time I made a video work; I truly hope everyone will feel something inside these images.
