Kobayashi Shingo (composer/arranger) has passed away

JEWEL is one of those songs I wish Ayu had managed to write for RAINBOW. It's just among the most beautifully written, composed, arranged, produced, and promoted songs I've ever heard. It was more than worth it's $2M PV.

Thank you so much, Kobayashi-san, for the countless hours of special moments your arrangements have brought me. And I hope you will stay with the kami here to help Ayu and all of us make even more.

Agreed. Every time I listen to it I’m awestruck. It’s just so delicate and intricate, yet so powerful.

JEWEL is the song who made me love Ayu when she sang it at Music Station for the first time. I identified it as the moment I became a fan.
