From Janis: Here is what I’m told! “Amika is a singer-songwriter who is raising 3 children while working on commercials. She is a very good cook, and her mother is a very good cook.” From my point of view, I welcome her to this project, and particularly love that the cover art makes it look like she’s wearing a face mask to protect others during lockdown.
BETTER TIMES WILL COME

作詞・作曲 Janis Ian 日本語詞 前田たかひろ
Better times, better times will come
その日は 必ず来る
みんなでまるい地球と言う船漕いで行こう
きっと試されている 愛は幻想だろう?と
だったら今証明しよう 愛は幻想じゃない
Better times, better times will come
その日は 必ず来る
みんなでまるい地球と言う船漕いで行こう
きっと試されている 船出の覚悟を
だったら見せよう証明しよう 嵐も越えよう
Better times, better times will come
今こそ 学ぶとき
みんなでまるい地球と言う船漕いで行こう
Better times, better times will come
その日は 必ず来る
みんなでまるい地球と言う船漕いで行こう
Oh Better times will come
