光を集めて / Gathering lights 今、この世界に散らばる光 Now, light is scattered around the world 光を集めて Gathering lights この森、この風、葉っぱ、雲、あなたに散らばってしまった Scattered around this forest, this wind, leaf, cloud, and you 光を集めて Gathering lights 見えるだろうか？ Can you see? このハンドパンに To this handpan 少しずつ a little bit of 光の流れ light flows ゆるやかで Gently ゆるぎない Firmly 見えるだろうか？ Can you see? 光を集めて Gathering lights 満月は光に満たされて The full moon is filled with lights 浮かぶ and floating ひびき渡る満月のメロディ The vibrating melody of the full moon からだに浴びて showering our bodies こころに浴びて showering our hearts たましいのどこかをゆらす shaking somewhere in our souls 満月の光 light of the full moon 大地の光 light of the earth 僕たちの光 Our light 光を集めて Gathering light

The Song of The Universe / 宇宙のうた Wherever did we listen? I think we may have listened to the song of the universe. 4000 years ago, at the bottom of the Himalayas, Around the well just outside the village, Two children sang a song. I think we may have listened to the song of the universe. 一体、どこで聞いただろう？宇宙のうたを聞いただろう 4000年前、ヒマラヤのふもと小さな村の外れの井戸に声を合わせて歌う子二人宇宙のうたを聞いただろう Wherever did we listen? I think we may have listened to the song of the universe. Transparent Southern ocean, The dolphin chasing down lost memories, Echoing in its womb. I think we may have listened to the song of the universe. 一体、どこで聞いただろう？宇宙のうたを聞いただろう透きとおった南の海で記憶を追いかけ泳いでくイルカの胎内、ひびく音宇宙のうたを聞いただろう Wherever did we listen? I think we may have listened to the song of the universe. Lost in Chinatown, A notice sign on the window, Led forward to the steps of the old building. I think we may have listened to the song of the universe. 一体、どこで聞いただろう？宇宙のうたを聞いただろう迷い込んだチャイナタウン古びたビルの窓に張り紙導かれた階段の先宇宙のうたを聞いただろう Wherever did we listen? I think we may have listened to the song of the universe. 10,000 years in the future, the distant world, Lost time and a desert island remain, Choked with tears for fragments of civilization. I think we may have listened to the song of the universe. 一体、どこで聞いただろう？宇宙のうたを聞いただろう 10,000年後、遥かな世界消えた時間と残った孤島文明のかけらにむせび泣く宇宙のうたを聞いただろう

about

He got new handpan manufactured by Justin Perkins in 2018 and then performed for events, festivals and streets. Also, he has met some artists in Vancouver, Canada and collaborated with them.

He wants to improve his music career. He used to play drums, guitar, didgeridoo and some of other musical instruments. He starts learning to play piano as well. One day, he will try mixing all in one. So this album is 'on the way' for it.

Here is music videos for Track #1 and #3
