After turning thirty, I find myself reflecting on so many things. Almost as a survival strategy, I’ve grown cautious, afraid of getting hurt. As my senses grow numb, I begin to lose sight of how I’m binding myself in place. Though I once longed for freedom above all else, I end up choosing restriction on my own. Perhaps it really does take someone’s great love to be freed from such oppression. I feel as though I’ve only recently begun to realize that. My “story of self-transformation” has only just begun. I am in no position to speak as if I have it all figured out. But if you could keep this song close to your life, I would be truly glad. For both the human spirit and works of art such as music hold infinite possibilities beyond the reality of society. If my work can serve even a little in that direction, it would bring me great happiness.

30も過ぎると私も、色々と考えさせられることだらけで
ついつい生存戦略として、傷つくことを恐れて臆病になっていくし
感覚も麻痺してくると、自分で自分を縛り付けている事にも
だんだん気づけなくなっていく
あれほど自由を願っていたはずなのに、自ら望んで不自由になっていく
そういった抑圧から解放されるには
やはり、誰かの「大いなる愛」が重要になってくるのかな
そんなことに最近 ようやく気づかされたような気がします
私の「自己変革の物語」は まだまだ始まったばかりなんですね
決して、偉そうなことを言えるような立場ではないので
ただ、あなたの人生のそばに、この曲を置いてもらえると嬉しいです
人間の精神にも、音楽をはじめとする芸術作品にも
現実社会にとらわれない無限の可能性があるのですから

私の作品も、その一助となれれば幸いです
