I wrote this song for my wife Ayuma (you may check out her own stuff at MySpace): We've met on New Year's night in 2005/2006, and from the very first time that I saw her I was simply attracted to her shining and beautiful energy - as if all of a sudden a warm summer breeze would have touched me on that cold and chilly winter night.
Since then my life has changed in many ways: Ayuma and me learned from each other, and she made me see the world and myself in a different light. We then got married in 2008, and it feels like our love is growing with every day (and also every argument, as we're both capricorn).

Seems like both of us have found what we were always looking for, and so "Shine" is my way of saying "Thank you" to Ayuma for the time and the love that we're sharing, and I do hope that this song somehow manages to capture all her beauty, her warmth, her energy, her empathy, her spirit and her soul.
