The song's lyrics reflect a belief in the enduring power of love, and Risa's performance brings this timeless song to life, evoking the power of love. Risa uses her lyrical touch to create an unmissable masterpiece; a harmonious testament to the eternal power of love.
U2's "With Or Without You" is a melodious and ethereal song that finds a second life in the glorious world of Risa.

The lyrics tell a story of desire, Risa's voice gliding over the notes with a precision that only a master can achieve. This blanket is more than just a blanket; it is an artistic transformation that cannot be ignored.
Bill Withers' iconic song, "Ain't No Sunshine," gets the Kumon treatment, and the result is a symphony of color and harmony with a modern twist. Risa's interpretation of this timeless classic gives the piece a modern touch, while her velvety vocals draw listeners into her universe. As most of you probably already know, the lyrics depict the absence of sunshine when a loved one passes away, and Risa's performance captures the essence of this emotional journey. It's a song you can't forget - It's a musical treasure.
The song "Ka Nohona Pili Kai / Nada Sou-sou", originally cooked up in the Japanese — Okinawa language — by a group called "Begin", then revisited by a Hawaiian artist Keali'i Reichel gave Risa the idea to stir both versions together like a musical smoothie — you might call it a mash-up. In fact, Risa's version is reminiscent of a gentle ocean breeze, giving the album an exotic feel. The smooth production and ethereal riffs create a relaxing and colorful soundscape, inviting listeners into a haunting waltz.
