★From CD liner notes
Nursery rhymes have power. For over 20 years, we have been collaborating with Tomoe Hiiro of the Mingei Theater Company to share the lyrics, and there are many cases where the audience spontaneously starts singing along. Nursery rhymes are deeply ingrained in people's minds. That's why it's ``on the contrary scary (Hiiro)'' and must be played with care.
