in 2024 Artists with over 25 Grammys and Nominations have joined her Smile project. She

Miist read about a young man in Tokyo who died from "lonely death syndrome" and vowed to combat loneliness.
"In 2022, a young man in Tokyo was found passed away in his apartment alone. He had been there for weeks. In Japan, as in other countries, this has become so common that there is a term for this. “Lonely death”.
I never forgot his story. I imagined him walking on the streets with the sounds of thousands of footsteps passing by and wondered if anyone had ever bothered to lend him a smile."
His story inspired
"Could You Lend Me a Smile".
I wrote the Cello & Violin as the voices of hope.
I am so grateful that Grammy professionals and Award -winning musicians Eru Matsumoto on Cello, and Natalie Bonin on Violin, joined me in the studio to record the final version
of "Could You Lend Me A Smile" in Oct 2024.
