However Takatsugu Muramatsu who composes "Far away" "You were there" puts soundtrack CD on the market on the same day.

A certain CD shop is describing the name of LIBERA clearly in the explanation column of the sound track CD.

Therefore, I am guessing that LIBERA also participates in the sound track CD perhaps.


She said she will write again when she gets more news. :D
Thanks Lexi - yes it appears there will be a soundtrack CD (TOCP-71078 ) and Libera's own Mini Album (TOCP-71077) which will both be released on the same day.

So far the only new material and connection between both is Libera's participation in the theme tune 'Madonna Verde'. You never know they may be involved with more content from the soundtrack CD. We'll have to wait and see ;)

Brucie bonus for the first person to report back the image of either CD Cover!

That possibility moves closer now with the following information from the soundtrack listed on cdjapan.
Original soundtrack release from TV series "Madonna Verde" by Takatsugu Muramatsu. Features TV size version of its theme sung by LIBERA

Libera's producer, commented by Mr. Robert Prizeman
"NHK is a huge honor you for the opportunity to sing the theme song of the new drama.
"Life (life) Miracle" (original title: Song Of Life) is a song composed by Muramatsu impressive.
We are pleased to be able to work with him again.
Recordings could be made fun of those in Libera.
Ralph was able to sing solo [main] a very cool experience and I am delighted.
James have joined the chorus mini, see the pitch I go to the very low to very high pitched, but very excited at firs
It was hard to talk "

What I understand from Google :
(I hope I'm not too wrong :roll:)

- the theme song of the "Madonna Verde" TV Serie is based on a music from Takatsugu Muramatsu named originaly "Song of life".

- Libera have added his own lyrics on this music.

- Ralph main soloist, accompagned by Mini-James.


A sample of the music my be heard on Amazon.
"Song of life" is the 11th track on M. Muramastu last album.
" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;


The sample is too short to have a real idea about the music... :?
I'm going to wait to hear it sung by Libera to make my own appretiation :wink:

It sounds very nice, from the sample. Alsmot sounds a bit like "You Were There" in some parts, to me. Can't wait until we can hear Libera singing on it!

Hagy says the name of the album is "Miracle of Life" and the name of the theme song is "Song of Life." She agrees with everything you said, but she is not sure that track 11 is the same tune. She is checking... :?

Update: She says "I think it is perhaps so though it doesn't understand accurately." (I'm afraid I don't understand that accurately.) And we both agree that there is a touch of "You Were There" in the song.

Update 2: She says that Mr. Prizeman wrote the words to the new song!

there is something odd, I don't understand... Image

On youtube there is this piano music said as "Song of life" from Takatsugu Muramatsu. (here sung)

But this music had been already used as music in another NHK TV Drama named "Gradually"... I can't imagine they could reused it for a new TV series, no ?

Same composer, same title, two different TV series ? ... heu... I feel lost Image

Actually, it will be a new song. In regards to James, he is only noted as "a participant of the chorus"...

i thought it's just a shorter version of the main theme used for the opening tune of the drama, just like the one for Far Away in the Welcome to Libera's World album.

and wow, for Ralph being a lead soloist. great, now i wish Libera would record a full-blown album asap, hopefully after this Madonna hype is over.

They could re-use the basic melody but let RP re-work it so that it has a completely different effect.

Madonna Verde = "Green Mother"? OK, How about "Mother Nature"?

Hi! everyone.

In Japanese, Green is 'MIDORI' and that's the mother's name.

We use that color for girl's name, just sounds old-fashioned though :)

And the name of the building where she lives called 'Maison de Madonna' :?

And the new song title in English is "song of life", but it's different from

the former one in Japanese. it's "Inochi no Kiseki" Inochi means life,

and Kiseki means miracle. Former one title is "Inochi no Uta".

Uta means songs.

Hi Teyko !

Nice to see you here and you posted so good explanation :D

Some of us usually try to use Google Translator to understand Japanese- sometimes it helps, but sometimes interpretations are quite foggy :D

Indeed, we poor foreigners can only extrapolate more or less the result of translations sometimes surprising that Google delivers :lol:

But in this case Google is not the only cause confusion.
On sites that display the title of the new song "生命 の 奇跡", a translation is indicated immediately after, "(Song of Life"), but thanks to our Japanese friends on this forum, we know now that this translation is not quite correct.


To illustrate this confusion : the blog of the composer Takatsugu Muramatsu himself :
He wrote in Japanese ---> : タイトル は 『生命 の 奇跡 (Song of Life)』
What Google means ---> The title : Miracle of Life (Song of Life)

On this Google is correct, it correctly translated "生命 の 奇跡" as "Miracle of Life", that's OK :)

But the confusion is then created by the english words "(Song of Life)" they added next to the japanese name... strange.


Whatever the title, it's a new song and I'm eager to discover it !! :D
