yanokami was a Japanese band consisting of Akiko Yano and Rei Harakami.
In 2003, Akiko found Harakami via Quruli's song Bara no Hana (remixed by Rei Harakami) on the album World's End Supernova. She fell in love with his style from the very first musical note. As it turned out, Rei had always been a huge fan of her music.
Early in the winter of 2003, their first collaboration started with Rei working on some of the songs for Akiko and Akiko performing with Rei's compilation at her annual Winter concert titled Satogaeru Concert.
Rei's magical touch to Akiko's music proved so successful that it led to their first ever performance on stage together in the Summer of 2004.
To further show their appreciation for each other's musical talents, they both appeared as guest performers at each their respective concerts held at Japan's Summer Festival in 2006. Needless to say, they were a hit together.
Since then, Akiko and Rei have worked quietly in the background together on their yanokami project by exchanging emails back and forth from New York City to Kyoto.

In the distance the mirage stands out like horses and cattle.
Very glad to see my beloved son.
Je me regarde
Je me sens
Je vois des enfants
Je suis enfant ! I look at myself
I feel myself
I see the children
