8. Evening at Charming Sale
 Words, Music and Arranged by Y.Ota

 This is an imaginary love story which scene is laid in Yokohama, Japan.
 Charming Sale is a name of bargain sale held once a year there.
 Yokohama is one of the most interesting cities in Japan.
 It has Yokohama Port, Yokohama Bay Bridge and Yokohama China Town, so
 is similar to San Francisco. (7/7/1996)



9. Let's Karaocate
 Words, Music and Arranged by Y.Ota

 "Karaoke" is one of popular entertainment in Japan. I really love Karaoke
 and singing. "Karaoke" in Japanese means empty orchestra, where
 "Kara" means empty, and "oke" sounds like "orche"stra. But it doesn't
 mean a cappella. We can sing to machine accompaniment. (8/14/1996)



10. I can't Forget You.
 Words, Music and Arranged by Y.Ota

 My idol is Masaharu Fukuyama, very handsome male singer songwriter.
 I'd like to make such cool songs like his, but it's very difficult.
 (10/22/1996)
