i think it will be very...traditional Japanese. since when i was looking at the word, a lot of "Edo" came up, which is the old word for Tokyo. but idk. LOL.
i'm not sure if any of you have been reading Eito news, but Mama Yokoyama passed away on May 16th.
Quote:
Yoko's mom, who was 50 years old, was out shopping on the 16th when she collapsed in the store and was sent to the hospital right away by a ambulance. She died the same day at 11:51 PM. It seems it was some kind of heart disease/heart attack.
She didn't have any serious illnesses and she had seemed to be healthy just the day before, so the news was very shocking for Yoko. Yoko still had to perform his solo concert and he didn't want to leave a hole in his work schedule. At the climax of every concert, Yoko sang a song that he wrote for his mom called "Onigishi". However for the performance on the day of his mother's death, he started crying and couldn't continue to sing.
The next day on the 17th, Yoko was supposed to go for a location shoot for their show "Kanjani8 no Jyaniben", but he left that to Yasu and Maru and went to where his mother was. The funeral was held on the 18th, of which all the members of Kanjani8 attended. Yoko returned for work for Jyaniben on the 19th.
Yoko is the oldest of three brothers, and their parents divorced when they were young. When Yoko was small, he couldn't say "onigiri" properly and called them "onigishi" instead. His song "Onigishi" was written with the feelings of his mom working hard to raise her children by herself.

関ジャニ∞横山裕(29)の母親が16日午前、虚血性心疾患のため急死していたことが21日分かった。50 歳だった。

横山は現在全国ソロコン中で母親が亡くなった当日は午後4時から青森市民会館公演を予定してい た。
大きな持病もなく、亡くなる前日まで元気だったそうで、突然の訃報に横山は大きなショックを受 けたものの
「仕事に穴は開けられない」として、予定通りに出演。クライマックスでは毎回、母への思いを歌 にした
自作の「オニギシ」を歌っているが、この日は途中から涙があふれ出し、歌えなくなった。
翌17日は青森で「関ジャニ∞のジャニ勉」のロケに参加する予定だったが、安田章大(25)丸山隆平(26 )に任せて
母の元へ。夜に営まれた通夜に参列した。18日の告別式には関ジャニ∞のメンバー全員参列。

横山は男3人兄弟の長男で、両親は幼いころに離婚。子供の頃、おにぎりと言えず「オニギシ」と呼んでいたこ とを
歌った「オニギシ」は、女手一つで育ててくれた母への思いをストレートに込めた。
ツアーは22日から再開するが悲しみを抱えながら横山は歌い続ける。
