I would like to express my hearty sympathy with the victims of the Tohoku Earthquake.
I think many people have been influenced in many ways by the disaster since March 11.
Tsukasa Takahashi, CEO of Youth Inc., is from Minamisanriku, Miyagi in Tohoku. His pararents were safe because they escaped to highland but their house, no, their TOWN was washed away by tsunami. Some of his friends are still missing.
Even the guy who is very close to me experienced such an unthinkable trouble. I'm in a state of numbness when I think about the fact that hundreds of thousands of people suffer like this.
We have consdiered what we can do for the situation. And we have received so many messages from foreign bands that we have released and set Japan tour for.
This is one of our answers.
We will put out a benefit compliation album on iTunes Store. All of profits will be used for benefits.
The title is "Anthing for Progress - From Our Hopeful Hands -". It was named after the opening number of Her Space Holiday's forthcoming album.
It was written long before the quake. But I feel it was connected somehow. Also, it is a very positive song. Please see the lyrics below.
The comp will feature the original version and "from our hopeful hands version" that was recorded for this comp.
Many bands on & records or friends bands will participate. The songs on this comp are all unreleased tracks.
Heisuke Kitazawa or PCP did the artwork.
We'd be very happy if this comp helps for something somehow.

Minoru Hatakeyama for & records


April 5,2011 started streaming Anything for Progress (original version) by Her Space Holiday


Anything for Progress

she tells me that time will heal all our wounds
she points to her heart and says "here is your proof"
she shows me the scar where the arrow went through
broken by one, now it's beating for two

come on little soldier come fight for me
i'll love you on the land i'll love you in the sea
kiss me hello let's make memories
and dont be afraid of what we might be
because in this life there are no guarantees
that everything is roses down on easy street
the buildings could fall you could be underneath
but i'll be right there with a shovel and relief
saying follow my voice you'll soon be free
reach in the rubble pull you up to me
wash away the sting of the cold concrete
singing my dear "it was just a bad dream"

as my body grows up, i don't want to grow cold
and this is all i know

two weeks passed wanted time to think
i made a little list of the things i need
held it up to yours, it was all in sync
called you on the phone said honey it's me
i baked us a cake and i cut it in three
gonna sit here and wait until we both find peace
take a left at the light you will be on my street
it's the house with the ribbon tied around the old tree
lift up the mat and you will find my key
slide it in the lock and you'll soon be free
the click will crack those old memories
singing my dear "it was just a bad dream"

as my body grows up, i don't want to grow cold
and this is all i know

we're gonna fix this place up
turn it into a world of our own
it's gonna spread like good news
from the streets, up the buildings into the windows of the homes
we're gonna give it a fresh coat
it's gonna feel like new year's day
where everything before this
will all dissolve in the flicker of the frame

we're gonna fix this place up
turn it into a world of our own
it's gonna spread like good news
from the streets, up the buildings into the windows of the homes
we're gonna give it a fresh coat
it's gonna feel like new year's day
where everything before this
will all dissolve in the flicker of the frame

on our own
