LOVE ALL SERVE ALL
LOVE ALL SERVE ALL is the second studio album by Japanese singer-songwriter Fujii Kaze. It was released on March 23, 2022, through HEHN RECORDS and Universal Sigma.[1] The album was produced by Yaffle, with all eleven songs written and composed by Fujii Kaze.[2] In the week of its release, it debuted at number one on the Oricon Weekly Albums Chart — Fujii Kaze's first chart-topping album[3] — and was later certified platinum by the Recording Industry Association of Japan (RIAJ).[4]
Background
LOVE ALL SERVE ALL arrived roughly two years after Fujii Kaze's debut album HELP EVER HURT NEVER (May 2020).[2] Six digital singles released between October 2020 and March 2022 preceded the album and were included on its final 11-track sequence alongside five previously unreleased songs.[1]
In an interview with MUSICA magazine, Fujii described the intent behind the album's title:[5]
I think it would be best if all humans and every living being could live with the "LOVE ALL SERVE ALL" mindset. I want to be able to look at joys and sorrows, and things like life and death, all equally, and to love them all equally. There are many "LOVE ALL SERVE ALLs", and I hope all of them are conveyed.
The phrase "LOVE ALL SERVE ALL" is drawn from the teachings of the Indian spiritual leader Sathya Sai Baba, whom Fujii Kaze has cited as an influence (see LOVE ALL SERVE ALL (meaning)).
