About "Old Skin"

When Ryuichi invited me to be involved with kizunaworld I, at first, started looking for old songs or other ready-made material - an easy way out. But the more i thought about it, the more I didn't think that would be doing the project justice. I believed the cause deserved more effort. So in the end in invited my good friend, the singer Arnór Dan to collaborate with me and together we composed "Old Skin" exclusively for Kizunaworld.
Neither the song or it's lyrics are directly related to the disasters that have taken place in Japan, as I would feel like a hypocrite pretending to understand the terrible things that people have had to go through there. Instead it is our hope that our work is good enough to to attract people to the Kizunaworld project and in that way provide support for the thousands of people who need it. (Arnalds Ólafur)
