On March 1, Akiko Yano and former Japan Aerospace Exploration Agency astronaut Soichi Noguchi will release their collaborative album, “Kimi ni Aitainda, Totemo.”
The idea for this album came about in February 2020, when Akiko, a lover of space, asked Soichi to write lyrics while in space from November 2020 to May 2021. He wrote 14 sets of lyrics, which Akiko then took and composed and created music for, in effect giving listeners the experience of space travel.
