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".

Hiroshi Arikawa and Kariyushi 58's vocalist Shingo Maekawa co-starred on TBS's "King's Brunch".
The location will be in Okinawa, which is the setting of the novel, and it will be a conversation at a key location in the novel.

The song "Ammer", which inspired this novel, was 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 is a mother who continues to cause trouble and does not do anything filial piety if it is the last time.
I create this song with a feeling of apology and gratitude.
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, there were encounters with such many people, various stories born from them, and 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!
