From there she became very interested in producing music and enrolled in music classes with an enthusiastic interest. By 2004 she auditioned for the television show "MTV STAR TOUR" featuring Japanese artists ZEEBRA, KEN-BO, and 今井了介 (Ryosuke Imai). In 2005, Emi Maria began her professional career with an agency, making her debut as a minor in 2006 with live events and club performance, eventually being featured on a track included on SEEDA's album.
For the first half of 2007, Emi Maria was dedicated to working on her debut album and making featured appearances on various tracks for mix CDs and albums by TOMOGEN and MC MOGGY. On October 24, 2007, Emi Maria released her first original mini album "Between the Music", afterward promoting it with a live schedule. Emi Maria closed out 2008 with the release of her first single "I gotta -Summer Kiss", and on November 5th, 2008, debuted her first full original album "A Ballad Of My Own".

景色が目の前に広がった
子供達が目を輝かせ笑った
裸足でたとえ貧しくても
手を取り合って生きる喜び
幼い頃の私と同じだった
今この場所を見て
恵まれた人間たちが
ほんの少し変われば
Oh Everybody
We Can Change the World
Just You&Me Everybody
We Got to Get Up

流れ星は飛行機のライトだった

温かい家に帰り眠る
当たり前の事を当たり前に出来る
涙が止まらない
きっと世界は変わる
壊す事はもう止めよう

These lyrics convey a message of hope, unity, and the power to effect change in the world. The singer reflects on a past where they had forgotten about the beauty in the world, but then witnessed the joy of children and the simple happiness of living and supporting each other. This reminded them of their own childhood and the innocence they once had. The singer urges everyone to open their eyes and make a slight change in order to transform the world, expressing that this is possible if everyone comes together.
The chorus emphasizes the singer's belief in the collective ability to change the world. "Just You & Me Everybody" signifies that it only takes the cooperation and collaboration of everyone to make a difference. The repetition of "We Got to Get Up" further emphasizes the urgency and necessity of taking action.
The second verse mentions the ongoing conflicts and how people have turned a blind eye, pretending not to notice. The mention of a shooting star being mistaken for a plane light symbolizes the hope and happiness that can arise from expressing one's feelings, especially the happiness of being able to say "I love you" to someone you care about. The singer reflects on the simple joys of life, like coming back to a warm home and being able to do ordinary things without taking them for granted. The tears that cannot stop flowing represent the strong belief that the world can change for the better.
In the bridge, the singer calls for an end to destructive behavior and urges people to work towards a future filled with love. The repetition of "We Can Change the World" reinforces the singer's belief in the collective power of a united effort.
Overall, the lyrics express the importance of recognizing the beauty in the world, appreciating the little things, and working together to create a better future. The message is one of empowerment and encouragement for everyone to take responsibility and actively participate in making a positive impact.

エミ・マリア最高❗
この曲に限らず彼女の歌(歌唱力)はトップクラスであることは間違いない❗もっと陽の目が当たってもいいと心から思う。
ちなみにこの曲は東関東地震災害の復興で短期間だけどTVでONエアしてたよな。
