Kumushki

This is the last (10th) song of our recordings of the last summer.
And this song is very special for me. I've been wanted to record it for over 20 years.
I've tried to record it a few times before and I was even trying to sing it by myself 2 years ago...
I met this song in 1983 (or 1984) in my favorite Tarkovsky's film called "Nostalghia".
I'm so happy to record it at last and am really glad that I could finish all our songs :-)
Thanks a lot for your warm support. Arigato!

Cranes

Music: Yan Frenkel / Lyrics: Rasul Gamzatov
Vocal: Ellina Erika / Arrange & All Instruments: Masatoshi Sadakane



We've recorded an old Soviet song composed by Yan Frenkel, lyrics written by Rasul Gamzatov.
Gamzatov visited Hiroshima, Japan in 1969 and he saw the monument of Sadako Sasaki.
Sadako was the one of atomic bomb victims in Hiroshima.
And he was told about the story "Sadako and the Thousand Paper Cranes".
It really was one of the motivations for him to write this poem...

Tears In The River

This is a memorial song that made us MASELLICA.
This time, I've arranged it a bit simple like a live band.
Watch our performance with beautiful Mt. Fuji and Tama river in this video♪

Thinking of You

a.k.a. "Waltz in Dm"
Vocal: Ellina Erika
Music & All Instruments: Masatoshi Sadakane

This is a very old song of mine. I wrote it in 1998 before I wrote "I Will Always Be".
I played this song often with a several musicians long time ago but never recorded for public.
Maybe some of you know this song as "Waltz in Dm".
This song has no lyrics, because we didn't have much time to think of it...
But it really doesn't matter. Erika's scat is wonderful enough :-)))
