What, Mr. Janney Kitagawa? …In a direct interview, Cowan revealed the shocking identity of the “performer of the new music video that has fans in an uproar.

If we could forgive each other, our wounds would be healed, wouldn’t they?

A direct interview with the singer revealed the shivering meaning of these lyrics.

On November 21, Cowan Okamoto (27), who confessed under his own name to the sexually abusive relationship with the late Janie Kitagawa, released a new song. The title is “My Soul. The response was great, with the music video (MV) receiving over 10,000 views and more than 1,000 “likes” in half a day.

But it was not only the quality of the new song that surprised viewers. The music video, which takes place on stage and in the audience, features a certain person. Fans on the Internet are in an uproar.

What? Mr. Janney Kitagawa?

Why is Mr. Janney in this video?

No wonder fans are upset. A man who appears to be Mr. Janney Kitagawa, the man who is said to have sexually assaulted Cowan, is in the video.

His own mother and brother are also ……

Who is the man in the music video who appears to be Mr. Janney Kitagawa? What was the true reason for having him appear in the video? We interviewed Cowan in Tokyo.

–What is it?

What is it? ……

–Your new song has been well received.

Thank you very much.

–How did you come up with it?

In August this year, I published a book like my autobiography. A composer who has been a client of mine for a long time said he was very moved by the book, so I told him, ‘Well, please send me your thoughts in the form of a song. The piano music he sent me was wonderful and I found it at ……. I put the lyrics and melody on top of it and wrote it in one day as my thoughts overflowed. I think it took less than a month to complete “My Soul.

–I think it took me about a month to make ‘My Soul’.

The woman and the young man sitting in the audience are my mother and brother.

–What? Your own mother and brother?

The theme of “My Soul” is “love. That’s why I wanted people I wanted to thank to be in the film. Family is something to be thankful for, isn’t it?

-although there is someone who looks like Mr. Janie Kitagawa sitting in the audience.

…… Well.”

–What is your intention?

I think ‘love’ has two meanings. One is ‘gratitude,’ as I mentioned earlier. The other is ‘forgiveness. If you keep fighting with someone because you have been harmed, you will never be able to solve the problem. I think it is important to “forgive” the other person. So …… please give me a break.”

In an interview with “FRIDAY Digital” (distributed on October 25 this year), Okamoto said the following.

What Mr. Janney did is wrong as a person. But for me, he is a great benefactor who guided me into the world of entertainment. If I had not met Mr. Janney, I would not be where I am today. Even though I’ve suffered damage, I’m still grateful to him.

My Soul” also includes the following lyrics.

I was able to change when I met you.

A little more than a year has passed since Janney’s sexual assault accusation. Cowan seems to have finally taken a new step forward as an artist.

Cowan Okamoto was born in Aichi Prefecture in May 1996. Born to third-generation Japanese-Brazilian parents. He joined Johnny’s after his singing ability was recognized by Mr. Kitagawa. After leaving Johnny’s to pursue a solo career, he has been active in Brazil and other countries. The music video for his new song “My Soul” received over 10,000 views within half a day of its release.
