first letter, in this world

First Letter, In This World began as an exchange of letters made of music. Mirai No Hagaki and Lisa Nanzaki sent each other musical ideas and lyrics, each in their own language, with no translation. The other’s words arrived as pure sound, and it was the sound they answered. When Lisa sent an idea with Japanese lyrics, Mirai added a reply in Italian, without knowing what she was saying. A message that might have seemed incomprehensible became a conversation. Only when a track was finished did they explain their words to each other. And each time they found the same thing: two people who have never met, writing in two different languages, had ended up talking about the same subject. Surprising, or perhaps not. That is the magic of music and of the sound of words.
