The member of my family who is beeing togehter for years.
Chao (Tortoise-shell cat, Female, 17 years old)
She was gotten from the pet shop when I was in elementary school. She is a considerable grandma. Although only cat food is recently used (Honey's dog food is also used occasionally), a goldfish, a bird, a rat and a house lizard were her favorite foods at the time!

Irene Kral, the jazz singer Carmen McRae, a magnate jazz singer, made it tell, "there is no singer to whom she has a great repertory." This album are taken out when my heart gets tired, and it is cured. Ten years after me or 20 years after, I will think earnestly if such a song which touches of the heart like her ballad can be sung. This album is her masterpiece and it is said that especially Where is love? of the 8th music is her representation song. Each words sink into the heart by the polite and simple singing method expression of being neat and intellectual.
Unfortunately, she has passed away through a struggle against disease four years after the recording of this for cancer.
