This is the eighth single by Angela Aki, a half-Japanese, Italian-American singer-songwriter who is also active as a jazz pianist.

The song is an arrangement of “Tegami,” which she originally wrote as the compulsory piece for the junior high division of the 2008 NHK National School Music Competition, adapted here for her own vocals.

Her voice, carried by powerful piano, makes for a moving number.

The questions posed to her future self and the messages addressed to her past self are words of pure honesty precisely because they are directed at herself.

It’s a song whose unique, irreplaceable message resonates deeply, offering companionship to children in their sensitive, formative years.

If you’re looking for songs to encourage your children or students, please take a moment to consider, “What kind of message do these kids need right now?” and choose the perfect songs to share with them.
