This track launches the music genre Edotronica – mixing traditional Japanese instruments with electronica. Edo being the original name of Tokyo.

With the Power of Music

May 12th, 2020

WITH THE POWER OF MUSIC was first created in early 2020 as a 20 second jingle for the Guy Perryman radio show on InterFM 897 in Tokyo with lyrics written by Guy and music by singer/songwriter Endigo.

The lyrics took on greater significance as the world changed and life got more difficult for people everywhere so Guy and Endigo decided to expand the jingle into a full song.

With a positive message for people “alone all together” they hope everyone can love, laugh, listen, sing, whistle and hum to make life and our planet happier and healthier!!

WITH THE POWER OF MUSIC is now taking on a life of its own as musicians around the world are invited to record their own original version using the lyrics and send to guy@guyperryman.com for radio airplay on The Guy Perryman Show InterFM 897 Mon-Thur 7am-12pm Fri 7am-11am www.interfm.co.jp

Share your version with the hashtag #withthepowerofmusic

Here is the first released version by Virtual People www.youtube.com/endigo

Guy and Endigo both live in Tokyo and didn’t meet face to face until after the song was released. They were introduced on-line by a mutual friend and like so many people around the world create at home and communicate via technology.

WITH THE POWER OF MUSIC

With the power of music we can fly
Alone all together reach for the sky
Around the world everyone
Love laugh listen sing whistle and hum

Hoping to walk with you hand in hand
So many apart across every land
Music and daydreams are another way
To imagine us together on a happier day

With the power of music we can fly
Alone all together reach for the sky
Around the world everyone
Love laugh listen sing whistle and hum

The melody takes your soul for a flight
Sunrise, daytime and all through the night
Feel vibrations and your spirits soar
With a song by your side forever more

With the power of music we can fly
Alone all together reach for the sky
Around the world everyone
Love laugh listen sing whistle and hum

At home with time to stop and think why
Maybe just maybe an answer comes by
This virtual life connects me and you
Re-united we’ll heal our real world too

With the power of music we can fly
Alone all together reach for the sky
Around the world everyone
Love laugh listen sing whistle and hum

The Guy Perryman “General Purpose” GP Shirt born from Guy’s own need – not being able to find exactly what he wanted, he designed the shirt himself!!

The GP Shirt – versatile and useful – it’s smart.

With a straight cut hem wear the GP Shirt tucked out for a jacket look when you don’t want to wear a suit and all those layers – especially in hot weather.

Or wear the GP shirt tucked in just like a regular shirt.

No need to carry things – there are pockets…
Two hip pockets – no more bursting trouser pockets.
And a deep breast pocket for mobile phones or glasses hidden out of view.

Sharp tailoring silhouette – you’ll have a slim look.

Beautiful buttons inspired by Japanese pearls – four on each cuff in keeping with a suit jacket, and a formal shirt fly front with the buttons secretly concealed.

Made in Japan – the GP shirt is exquisitely crafted with high quality long lasting deep dyed 100% cotton.

Japan M (International S)
