[ABOUT THIS ALBUM]
I’ve made this album to encourage you to live your life without being captured by your inner clutter. Before I came to understand the importance of living mindfully, I was drowning in the flood of my negative thoughts and emotions. I was demotivated by things that were said to me in the past that constantly repeated in my head. Also, I was obsessed with picturing pleasant memories of my life, thinking only it could save me from drowning in my clutter. But, as you already should know, nothing meaningful can be achieved when you’re being distracted by your inner noises. I think one of the most invaluable skills today is the ability to be aware of being distracted by your own thoughts and emotions, and take the distance from them. I hope this album will guide you on how to engage in a constructive conversation with your mind, neither ignoring the existence of voices in your head nor being controlled by them. 

In writing the lyrics, I was deeply inspired by the following books:
The Headspace Guide to Meditation & Mindfulness by Andy Puddicombe
Four Thousand Weeks: Time Management for Mortals by Oliver Burkeman

The view of life I got from those books opened up my eyes. It planted hope into my heart and thanks to it, I’ve managed to finish this album. I couldn't be any happier if any messages in this album could help you keep going towards your goals in life.

[CONCEPT]
I wrote the lyrics after hearing the news of the tragedy of the US Capitol's storm, 2021. We can’t live without help from somebody, it's obvious, but tragic events based on hatred have been occurring everywhere around the world. It may be easy to join them marching down the street to vent their stress or just out of curiosity, but please don't be part of them. I believe this world could be the one big home for everybody where everyone could go back together.

[LYRICS]
We’re all sharing this world with you and everybody out there
Let's keep the simple things simple, we are not one's enemy

Let's dream, let's dream, let's dream together 
Someday we can walk back to our big home

I didn't even notice the difference between us
Now, grow up and realize the differences do not matter

Where are they marching on with torchlights of anger?

A thoughtless single word could be the sharpest knife in the world
Here, another fight on the street and cries in the sun we all share

I believe I believe, a tough road ahead
But someday we can raise up torchlights of hope

Hey, how hollow it sounds, "equality" in the bloody sun?
I don't want the power to kill, forgiveness is what I now need

Oh, please  don’t  pick up another torchlight of hatred

Because we can't live alone without everybody out there
Let's cut the chain of hates and say, we are not one's enemy

Let's dream, let's dream, let's dream together 
Someday we can walk back to our big home

If we could hear the voices of each other
Then, we’ll know, we can stop our fight and go back home

We’re all sharing this world with you and everybody out there
Let's keep the simple things simple, we are not one's  enemy

Let's dream, let's dream, let's dream together 
Someday we can walk back to our big home

[CONCEPT]
In this song, I wanted to encourage people who are struggling with fitting into society. Some might be given no chance to speak up even when their rights are infringed. Or, some might be forgotten as if they are tiny stones on the street. When it comes to the primal enemy we should overcome, I believe that is the fear inside of ourselves. Fear of standing up, of being refused by, of changing their lives, etc. The time is changing now; with a little courage, live life as yourself.

[LYRICS]
Don’t say that
"You'll never fit in without pretending to be somebody else"
I'm overcoming you, fear, my dear
The time is changing
It’s so clear


Lonely, in the lonely world
I’d been waiting for the right time
To get out from here
And now I say
You can never stop me


No fear that I cannot beat
I'm very confident about it
The tears that I have shed
It's now good memories for me
Always, there are good times and bad times
But I never let you knock me down 
Because my tears never betray me


I don’t care what they say
No time to swear at somebody else
My only enemy is inside of me
What’s your next trick?
I never look back


It's likely, it's very likely
There should be somebody just the same as me
I will stand up for them
We all deserve to be respected


Fear that threatens me is nowhere else
But in my mind
So sure that I won't look away
And I’m ready for the last round
Always, there are good times and bad times
But I never let you knock me down 
Because my tears never betray me


How many storms did I bear alone, until I awoke
All the strength I had already inside in me
Got to be free


胸に芽生えた感情は
The young bud in my heart 


自由を知ったあの鳥のように
will soar up into the sky


空へと高く飛び立っていく
Just like the bird that knows to be free

この胸を離れ
A part from my heart 

二度と戻ることはないだろう
It will never come back

自由を知ったあの鳥のように
Just like the bird that knows to be free


No fear that I cannot beat
I'm very confident about it
The tears that I have shed
It's now good memories for me
So sure that I won't look away
And I’m ready for the last round
Always, there are good times and bad times
But I never let you knock me down 
Because my tears never betray me

Fear, My Dear

A little Christmas song from me to you. I came across this old stuff while I was sorting out the files on my computer. Since it's the holiday season now so I decided to upload it. I hope you'll enjoy it :)

(Lyrics)
Do you know "Christmas time hero"?
幸せを君の元へ
Do you know "Christmas time hero"?
煙突からじゃないけれど

この一年で流した涙を今さら拭えやしない
君が不安抱いてる未来のことだって
僕にも分かりやしない

だから　笑顔に変えよう
ゼンブ　笑顔に変えよう
いつだって僕は君のNo.1
I'M A CHRISTMAS TIME HERO!!!

Do you know "Christmas time hero"?
勇み足がたまにあって
Do you know "Christmas time hero"?
届かないこともある

この一年で流した涙を今さら拭えやしない
君が抱え込んでる悩みの深さは
きっと　もっと果てしないだろう

だけど　笑顔に変えたい
ゼンブ　笑顔に変えたい
なりたいんだ　僕は君のNo.1
I'M A CHRISTMAS TIME HERO!!!

この一年で流した涙を今さら拭えやしない
君が不安抱いてる未来のことだって

ゼンブ　分かりやしない
だから　笑顔に変えよう
この素敵な夜に
いつだって君は僕のNo.1

I'M A CHRISTMAS TIME HERO!!!

YEAH, YEAH, YEAH...

[CONCEPT]
This is a song encouraging all people who are in love to be brave. Love makes us not only powerful, but also vulnerable, and there is no difference between gender, age, and ethnicity. For example, if people passed their middle age, they might be seen as if they are no longer entitled to fall in love with someone. I think it's unfair and pitiful, and it's the same on gender stereotyping: men also could be as vulnerable as being awake overnight thinking about the girl who he crushes on! Don't be afraid to fall in love and not be too strategic. Believe that there should be someone who will care about you, just the way you are.

[LYRICS]
It’s a song for a man in love
Don't think he is effeminate
Before love, there is no difference 
Between men and women

This kind of sickness
We all get caught once or twice
Look at yourself, your face is pale
How was the first date with the girl?

It's "unrequited love"
They're making a fool of you
But just don't you mind.
Remember I said, she will take your love

Cry, man, cry till tear is dry
Who said that man should always be fine? 
And try, man, try as you can try
Until she finds something good in you

Confidence is all men need
Other girls told you before
But if you lost your tenderness
No second chance with her, I bet

it's "unrequited love"  (oh, give him mercy!)
They're making a fool of you
"Unrequited love" 
But it will be fine
Remember I said, you will get her love

It’s a song for a man in love
Don't think he is effeminate
Before love, there is no difference 
Between men and women

Unrequited Love

[CONCEPT]
In this busy modern world, our minds would easily get irritated and distracted by unwanted emails, overflowing information, and the dizzying speed of change. Patience is the key to surviving this age, but it's nearly impossible to always keep it in our minds. Patience never sits still like a little kid. Why don't we start by acknowledging the wandering nature of our minds? It's the starting point of getting mental peace.

[LYRICS]
Patience comes and patience goes
Like ocean waves
It never stays

Let me confess my feeling inside
I'm about to explode
The hectic world never waits for me 
So I have to keep up with it

Don’t wanna be conquered 
By the stormy weather of my emotions

Patience comes and patience goes
Don’t go away
I reach my hand

Dancing in entangled feelings
Not only for me, right?
With anxiety, in society
I should be tough as I'm taught
It’s not that easy

Oh, my patience, come back and never go

Patience comes and patience goes
Like birds in the sky
It never stays

Let me confess my feeling inside
I'm about to explode 
The hectic world never waits for me
Oh, there's no time to look back
Dancing in entangled feelings
Not only for me, right?
With anxiety, in society
I should be cool but sometimes
I mess up everything
I should be tough as I’m taught
It’s not that easy

Oh, my patience, come back and never go

Patience Comes, Patience Goes

This is a rough rock n' roll song. There is no one who has never regretted something they've done. You don't need to carry all the weight and regrets, just don't hesitate to go your way even if the way looks very different to others.

[ABOUT THIS SONG]
Hakata in Fukuoka city is one of the great rock n' roll scenes in Japan. It has its own style. I wrote this song as a homage to the Hakata rock n' roll a.k.a. Hakata mentai rock. "Shelly" is a girl and she's out of my league. With a lot of help from my imagination, I enjoyed writing the song.

[LYRICS]
めんたいシェリー
Where are you?
僕のことなんてね　まるで
タバコの吸い殻のように
踏みつぶせば忘れてしまう

誰かの腕にしがみつき消えて行く
夜の街　嫌な光景ばかり浮かんでる
君は誰の指図なんて
受ける柄じゃないけど
つい想像してしまうんだ
憧れの君が僕を頼ってくれる...

めんたいシェリー
次はどんな君に会える？
博多の夜に紛れてく
赤いリップ忘れられない

見渡せば喧騒も消え去り
午前0時　吹き抜ける風と孤独感

めんたいシェリー　
Where are you?
僕のことなんてね　まるで
ゆうべの星空のように
朝になれば忘れてしまう

目配せして地下鉄に乗り込んで
行先なんて聞きたくもない
君は誰の助けなんて
借りる柄じゃないけど
つい想像してしまうんだ
寂しげな君が僕を訪ねてくれる...

めんたいシェリー
Where are you?
僕のことなんてね　まるで
タバコの吸い殻のように
踏みつぶせば忘れてしまう

[ABOUT THIS SONG]
I wrote this song inspired by 50s rock ballads. The intro guitar riffs are my favorite riffs I've ever made.

[LYRICS]
朝まで君と過ごしてた頃が
やけに懐かしく胸にせまる
言葉はいらない　浜辺に腰下して
同じ星をふたり　並んで見てた頃

今はどうしてるの？
そうだ、また一緒に海へいこうよ
なんて勢いにまかせて
言えたならよかった

思えば僕ら　消えかかる花火のように
風をさえぎりながらやっとつながってたみたい

なにも手立てはないの？
もう一度、はじめからやり直そうよ
なんてわかってる僕も
もう戻れないと

ふたりが出会った頃
ポケットに手を突っ込んで
君のことを待ってた
改札を抜けて駆けてくる君を
ぎこちない素振りで迎えたね

The end of love…

朝まで君と過ごしてた頃が
胸を締め付けるよ　今も

なにも手立てはないの？
恋が終わっていく瞬間に
なんてわかってる僕も
もう戻れないと

The end of love…

[CONCEPT]
Although holding out the ideal is the first step to success, extreme future-oriented thinking might bring us nothing, but mental torture. Don't count your chickens before they hatch! Stop being a prisoner of the future, let's appreciate what you're doing right now and participate in this very moment.  

[LYRICS]
Craving for liberation 
From my agitation
An endless obsession of mine

Feeling like I'm running from the early morning 
But I've never shaken it off
It's like a shadow, always to be followed 
By the pain in my heart

I don’t need a description
Just give me a prescription 
And your compassion
My heartbeat's like a drum roll

Feeling like I'm living in the world that I made up
Now, I cannot get out of it
All I wanted was to take control 
Of everything that happens to me

Today, I’m lonely and feel empty
Am I captured by the future of mine?

Feeling like I'm running from the early morning 
But I've never shaken it off
It's like a shadow, always to be followed 
By the pain in my heart

Feeling like I'm living in the world that I made up
Now, I cannot get out of it
All I wanted was to take control 
Of everything that happens to me

Today, I’m lonely and feel empty
Am I captured by the future of mine?
My agitation’s a creation of my mind

[CONCEPT]
I’ve been wanting to write a song to support people who are suffering from bullying, being ignored or any friction between relationships. It's a pity to hear the news about people ending their life by themselves in despair, especially if they were kids. If it was nearly impossible to find security at work, school or home, it could be likely for anyone to feel living is nothing, but torture and meaningless. You don't have to be controlled the way you live by someone else. Let’s find a place to feel secure and know that running away doesn’t mean becoming a loser. Living your own life is a series of amazing moments.

[LYRICS]
You don't have to take it too hard
Let's find a place where you can ease yourself
No one has the right to control you
You can live the way you like

There is no reason to take punishment
You don't have to take it at all
No one has the right to punish you
You can run away for yourself

If there is somebody who tells you 
What you do is totally wrong
Don’t mind them
Don’t let them play a big role 

‘Cause it’s your life!
Just focus on what you like
There is no need to stick to one place
Turn around
You'll see this planet is full of love

You don't have to hold back the tears
Let it shed like a waterfall
Remember, there's a shoulder to cry on
Yes, there is
You can live the way you like

If there is somebody who tells you 
What to do and what not to do
Don’t mind them
Don’t let them play a big role

‘Cause it’s your life!
Just focus on what you like
Don't be a part of their stupid game
It’s your life!
Just focus on what you like
There is no need to stick to one place
Turn around
You'll see this planet is full of love

You don't have to take it too hard
Let's find a place where you can ease yourself
No one has the right to punish you
Don’t forget about this
And just remember
You can live the way you like 
‘Cause it's your precious life!

It's Your Life!

[CONCEPT]
We can never erase the past. However, what if regretting past mistakes is making you hesitate to take up a new challenge? Picture the rejections and negative reactions from others that have been afflicting you like a nightmare. Realize that those are now only images in your head. Open up your inner eyes, let’s get out of the dungeon of repentance. In reality, we should build a solid relationship with only what can be found before us at this moment. 

[LYRICS]
When I'm stuck with thoughts of mine
Days of tears came up to mind 
But now I know it’s time to get out of there
Take a breath and close my eyes
Don’t resist, just say goodbye
Till the storm is gone

This disease is hard to cure
My regrets, deep inside of me
I tell myself it’s time to take a closer look
With inner eyes, it’ll be okay
Just thoughts of mine, don’t be afraid
Now, I must be brave

I don’t need a place to hide
From the mistakes that I’ve made
I’ll never be confined to the illusion of the past
Never again 

Shaking off the fog in my head
I'll sail through the stormy days
‘Cause, I’ve learned how to see things the way they are
Don’t need to be so cynical
My confidence, now it's real
I won’t be afraid

I just wanna prove that 
I can stand up and go much further
And I’ll never be confined to the illusion of the past
Never again

Oh, say goodbye to all my fears…

I don’t need a place to hide
From the mistakes that I’ve made
No, I don’t mean to deny what I’ve done before
I just need to let things go 
And I’ll never be confined to the illusion of the past
Never again

Goodbye, my days of tears… (all my fears…)

When I'm stuck with thoughts of mine
Days of tears came up to mind 
But now I know it’s time to get out of there
Take a breath and close my eyes
Don’t resist

Just say goodbye to the illusion of the past
The illusion of the past

I feel myself becoming awake

[CONCEPT]
I came to realize that I've always been overwhelmed by my own thoughts and emotions. It seems that it’s been programmed to interrupt my concentration whatever I try. Living without taking care of your mind is like sailing on the ocean in a turbulent storm by a wooden raft. You can't be a procrastinator in taking care of your mind. With a little bit of courage and patience, calmly accept the existence of the clutter within your mind. It’s the first step to clearing up the raging storm of your thoughts and emotions.

[LYRICS]
I can’t stand it
Noise in my head
I’m distracted
Through night and day

Overwhelming 
Thoughts in my head
I’m in trouble 
with calming myself down 

Conversation with my mind 
I have to give it a try
Observation of my thoughts and emotions that come and go
And I should let them flow, after all

Or else, I’d be caught up by the noise in my head

Can’t take it anymore
I’m so upset 
Through night and day

It’s a journey
Tough road ahead
What can I do?
To be the survivor

Conversation with my mind 
I have to give it a try
A complication of my thoughts and emotions that knocks me down
I try to let them flow one more time

Or else, I’d be caught up by the noise in my head
Can't go on ignoring my mind

Conversation with my mind 
I have to give it a try
Observation of my thoughts and emotions that come and go
And I should let them flow, after all
Yeah, I should let them flow, after all
I need a good relationship with my mind

Or else, I’d be caught up by the noise in my head
Can't go on ignoring my mind
Don’t wanna be caught up by the noise in my head
Can't go on ignoring my own mind

[CONCEPT]
This is the first song that I sang in English. Thanks to one of my amazing friends, I was able to create it. I want to say to you all, “Don’t give up on what you really love to do, your time will come, keep on chasing your dreams!”

[LYRICS]
I’m in constant misery 
Every time I see  
What I have been searching for
Tried to get it, get it  
But never reached it before 
 
You think it's a mystery?
Or just ordinary
Somebody gets everything I want
Drives me crazy
Nobody can pretend to be nonchalant

Tell me if it’s useless keeping all these feelings inside
I wish I could hear a voice only whispering,  "I'll be by your side"

The hope inside of me, hope inside of me.
It’s even pushing me to cry 
The hope inside of me, hope inside of  me
I'm gonna give it another try 

Who can rely on a miracle? 
I’m so skeptical
Get your feet on the ground
No matter what they say, yeah
I swore myself to not turn around

As long as my dream is to make somebody  happy
I can be so strong
Keep on going, going
This journey would take so long

As my heartbeat is increasing,  I wanna feel so much stronger
Fear is near, but I don’t really care 
I know it's part of this adventure
Tell me if it’s useless keeping all these feelings inside
I wish I could hear a voice only whispering,  "I'll be by your side"

The hope inside of me, hope inside of me.
It’s even pushing me to cry 
The hope inside of me, hope inside of  me
I'm gonna give it another try

Getting out of your comfort zone would be a difficult thing more than it sounds. anybody wants to avoid having any troubles from doing so, but it would be the only way for you to get what you’ve been craving for from the bottom of your heart. Don’t be hesitant to step forward to your dream.

[LYRICS]
Since I met you
My life is like a roller coaster
It's upside down, my feeling is out of control

Take my pain away
But won’t you please come closer? 
Is everything okay with my mind?
You really rocked my world 

I thought I’d never be distracted by this kind of emotion
Dictionaries never help me, mystery, oh 

So sure, I’m not a rock n roll star
Like to stay at home
But something is not the same at all

I think I’d never met someone like you if I was lying on my bed
Ordinary days seem so meaningful
Now, I know

Get out of my comfort zone, there is a roller coaster to ride on
Gonna be okay, here I go, there is a roller coaster to ride on

I thought I’d never be distracted...
Dictionaries never help me… (never gonna help me!)
I think I’d never met someone like you if I was lying on my bed
Ordinary days seem so meaningful
Now, I know

Since I met you
My life is like a roller coaster
But wanna find out
What can I do to know you better?
Since I met you…

[ABOUT THIS SONG]
50s style rock ballad song. The solo guitar is my favorite part of this song. Even if you're in the midst of a devastating state of mind, you need to step forward. You mightn't find any help from anyone. But, just step forward, there is nothing you cannot overcome. As you keep on going your way, you would find someone who could be invaluable to you.

[LYRICS]
誰か僕に愛を分けてよ
通り過ぎてゆくその前に

立ち止まって僕のそばに
次のバスが来るまででいい
それで十分さ

弱さゆえに同じ過ちを
繰り返してきたこの僕に

真っ暗な夜は来た
勇気をくれるひともなしに
越えていけないよ

越えていけないよ

君の声の響きや
言葉遣いや仕草
記憶は遠ざかってゆく

真っ暗な夜は来た
ほのかな明かりを頼りに
歩いて行かなければ

歩いて行かなければ

[ABOUT THIS SONG]
50s rockabilly style song. The first verse, "My dad said 'You can't live by just playing the guitar'" is a true story. It was enough to discourage me as a teenager. But, it drove me to make this rock n' roll song. It's inevitable to hear something that discourages you, but you shouldn't take it. Just believe what you're doing.

[LYRICS]
ロカビリーキング　上がれそのリング
親父は言ったさ　「ギターじゃ飯は食ってはいけない」と
学校へ向かう途中で
ただそのまま　窓を眺めてた

剥がれだした壁のポスター
お気に入りのロックンロールスター
イカレ果てて最高さ
さあ手持ち無沙汰の両手にギター抱えこんで行け
B.S.S.　置き去りにはせず

すべてが知らん顔で過ぎてくよな人生さ
ロックンロールは永遠に若いやつらだけのもの　
Yeah, yeah!

One, two, three 
言わんとしてる 
Want you to see 
言葉知ってるから
Yeah, yeah　笑ってくれよ

君のコトなんて百分の一も知らないんだから
わかって欲しいと笑って見せてよ

ロカビリーバンド　Clap your hands
中学のとき音楽の成績2だったなんて
かまったりはしないさ
R.T.T.　街へ繰り出して

ジンクスなんて気にしなきゃいいのさ　人生だから
二人ならやれると笑って見せてよ　
Yeah, yeah!

ロカビリーキング　どうすればいい？
部屋で一人語りかけたら
脱ぎ捨てた服着てまた行こう

君のその冷めた目つきも好きさ　だけど一つだけ
こっち向くのやめてくれ
ただそのまま　窓を眺めてた　
Yeah…

One, two, three 
言わんとしてる 
Want you to see 
言葉知ってるから
Yeah, yeah　笑ってくれよ

[ABOUT THIS SONG]
Little acoustic ballad. I think you've ever felt the feeling that you can't wait to tell your loved one that you love them so much. But, your loved one is sleeping or far from you. The first verse says, "Will you tell me what you saw in your dream tomorrow? Let me say 'Goodnight' to you for now.

[LYRICS]
目を閉じて
浮かんできたものを
明日僕に教えてくれよ
夢みてる　君におやすみ

今日はどんな一日だったの？
思えば君と話す時間もなかった
だからせめて　君におやすみ

You are you
君は君だから愛おしいんだよ
この気持ちを君は知ってるのかな

今日はどんな一日だったの？
やっぱり君の声が聞きたいよ
だけどそっと　君におやすみ

You are you
君は君だから愛おしいんだよ
だけど今　君は夢の中

目を閉じて
浮かんできたものを
明日僕に教えてくれよ
夢みてる　君におやすみ
