“TOMOKO SHIBATA & AYATOSHI OIKAWA” just dropped the new and hot song “Candle Moon”. It will contain the song 'Candle Moon' . Enjoy the J-Pop sound from the far east Asia.

Candle Moon Following "Words for Tomorrow " this song was composed by Ayatoshi Oikawa for me. His concept was: "Ms. Shibata often performs serious, inspiring music. I wanted to create something more laid-back, with a touch of New York jazz, to show her relaxing and enjoying herself." The lyrics came to me within hour, flowing naturally to fit the melody. It starts in English and ends in Japanese. Please enjoy this soothing piece at your leisure. - Tomoko Shibata- "Given Ms. Shibata's extensive experience in the U.S. and fluency in English, I hoped she would write the English lyrics herself. It's a song to enjoy with a drink during a rare moment of peace." - Ayatoshi Oikawa
