"If you know ZARD... The vocal, Izumi Sakai, passed away last year. She was 40.



I could not review this CD earlier... I am still crying.



She wrote all lyrics of her songs even she wrote lyrics for her new songs in a hospital bed while she was fighting with cancer. Her poems are so optimistic. She has said, "I hope my song could bring people hope, hope I can always be singing hopeful songs."



This CD is her 10th anniversary album. This album contains 16 songs of her past ten years works. They were re-arranged for this album.

Most of her albums were sold out soon after the news, her death, released. Now, there are new albums. Thanks to Sakai san, she worked even though she was ill.

She was all my hope. She liked blue sky.

This album jacket photo is so beautiful. She is standing under the tree.



Please bring her hope with you. Share the smile with everyone."
