I was watching children's program at 7 in the morning.
In 2003,in a small hotel room in Japan.
When I started to wonder why I was watching children channel,She showed up.
She was wearing a flamboyant bird costume,very fierce facepainting.
And started to sing like a giant human bird.
It was really weird song.She didn't sing in human's word.She was just a bird.
I couldn't forget the scene,and months after I heard her voice again in Mondo Grosso's album.
That's how I found her.UA.
One of my rolemodels.A singer-songwriter,painter,actress,so on.
Here's my favorite UA song,閃光,from her first movie 水の女's OST.
She wrote this song also.
My Japanese isn't good.I hardly understand really basic things.
But in this song I understood these lines.
ねえ 今何時なの ここは何処なの
貴方は誰なの 帰る家はあるの
優しい人達が 殺されているよ
So..What time is it?Where am I?
Who are you?Do you have home to return?
Warm people are being killed.

吠える空を見た 目を閉じたまま 突き抜ける景色を
これ以上 何を見ればいいの だから私はもう戻らないよ
The sky were wailing,I saw that penetrating scenery with my eyes shut.
What more else do I need to see?So I'm not coming back.
(I tried to translate these,But my English is very limited & my Japanese is worse)
sketch on a yellow paper.I changed the girl in the right's pose,so I cut it and replaced.
This drawing came from my mind with those lines I understood,Ua's voice.
(And probably my mood too)

I remember seeing that same children's show. I was surprised. I said, "Wow, that looks like UA!"
oh!You've seen it too!
Actually I have her childrensongs album.
It's title was 'UTA UUA'
Yeah, it was just a random thing. I was bored, sitting on a couch watching TV in Japan and flipping through channels and then that appeared. It must have been early. I always wake early in the morning.
