Description:

The voice that connects the heart with the heavens is back. This best-of album commemorates the 20th anniversary of Miichi Yoneira's CD debut, and features the countertenor singer Miichi Yoneira, whose clear voice and deep expressiveness have astounded the world since his debut recording in 1996, and whose beautiful voice was made even more widely loved with the theme song from the movie "Princess Mononoke. From his critically acclaimed debut album "Haha no Uta - Japanese Songs" to "Romance" in which he sang famous songs from around the world, "Karen" in which he gave new life to the masterpieces of songs, "Kono Michi", a collection of Japanese songs, and other treasured songs that were only available on single discs, this CD is selected from the many famous albums that he has left on King Record. Disc 1 is a selection of songs that seem to blossom, from beautiful and spacious sentiments to gorgeous brightness, and Disc 2 is a selection of songs that are sung in a quiet and shadowy way, opening up a richness along with the listener's heart. The album also includes a new recording of Azarashvili "Mute Song" (tentative), a song widely loved in Georgia (formerly Georgia), with lyrics by Miichi Yoneira that express his wish to make a fresh start. Includes a booklet including an essay by Yoneira himself.
