Kariyushi 58 celebrated its 10th anniversary on February 22nd this year.
Inspired by Kariyushi 58's famous song "Anmer", the moving novel "Anmer and Bokura" will finally be released nationwide this summer.
And the author is Mr. Hiroshi Arikawa, who has created many hits such as "Library War" and "Plant Encyclopedia".

This song "Ammer" is their first single released in July 2006.
Amma means “mother” in Okinawan language.

This song was born into this world from a certain situation. .

The debut work released in February of the same year did not sell at all for a record, and the next work may be the last. .
Vocalist Shingo Maekawa creates this song with a feeling of apology and gratitude to his mother, who continues to cause trouble and has not been able to do anything filial piety.
After its release, it spread all over Okinawa at once when it was aired on a local Okinawa radio station.
At the local record shop, the single was ranked number one on the general chart for 4 weeks in a row, beating out many major artists.
And when the special feature is aired on Fuji TV "Mezamashi TV", it will be recognized nationwide.
At the end of the same year, he won the Newcomer Award at the "39th Japan Cable Awards", and as soon as he performed live on the TBS "NEWS23" year-end special program, the program received a lot of inquiries from all over the country.
Later, Maekawa said, "This song connected the band's neck with a piece of skin."

Currently, it has recorded over 20 million views on Youtube, and has been performed at milestones in life such as weddings.
It is a song that is loved by many people in their lives.

Exactly 10 years after its release this year, I met so many people, and various stories were born from them.
Then, there was a miraculous encounter with Mr. Hiroshi Arikawa, and this "Annmar and us" was born.

[Comment from Hiroshi Arikawa]
You can feel the story from Shingo's singing voice.
Riding on that pleasant singing voice, writing smoothly,
the story is complete. It's my best work at the moment.
Congratulations on your 10th anniversary.
…Hiroshi Arikawa

[Comment from Shingo Maekawa]
"Woman" and "motherhood", their love has two depths. There is beauty for the second power.
… Shingo Maekawa

In addition, impressed voices have been received one after another from bookstores nationwide.

Once again, I was beaten by Arikawa-sensei! I thought. I cried after all. A must-read for those who have never paid attention to their family before. While I was reading, the blue sea stretched out as far as the eye could see, with the sound of the swaying waves in the background. I have tears in my eyes... It's a work that makes me want to cherish my family again (let's cherish it from now on! But that's fine).

What the two lands have in common is a blue sky and a sacred plateau. Horizon and horizon. The three-day miracle that was given to me was the trajectory of my life and a new starting point. Tears overflowed, my heart warmed, and naturally and calmly, I wished for the happiness of humanity, no, all living beings welled up. It is such a heartwarming story. Thank you for your wonderful story. May the happy family time last forever.
~ Ogaki Bookstore Takatsuki / Mr. Tetsuya Inoue

Arikawa's new ground! ! It's been a long time since I've seen a work that made me cry like this. Was it because she had a son who was about to leave home after she got a job, or was she moved by the splendor of meeting a man and a woman? It is a work that makes you feel nostalgic for your hometown over and over again. It's already No. 1 moving action of the year!

The release of the 10th anniversary live DVD "Kariyushi TV Sono 7" has also been decided.
Recently, the DVD jacket has also been released, and I am looking forward to what kind of content it will be for those who participated in the live and those who did not.
Kariyushi's first attempt is to support Sumapura, so DVD purchasers can easily watch the live video on their smartphones.

In commemoration of the release of the novel "Anmer and Bokura", a simultaneous purchase campaign with the Kariyushi 58 album will also be held!
The title is "Books, CDs, Okinawa and We - Read Books, Listen to CDs, and Let's Go to Okinawa!".
In addition, a QR code that allows you to listen to the live video of "Ammer" at the final performance of the 10th anniversary tour held on May 8 (Mother's Day) this year, limited to the first edition of the novel, is enclosed.
Please check it out!

Kariyushi 58 from now on, "Mezamashi Live", "WILD BUNCH FEST. 2016", "MONSTER baSH", etc.
He has also decided to perform at many summer festival events.
