When I go out into the city, the troubling conditions of people weigh heavily on my heart, leaving me distressed and pained. Since childhood, I have felt that a world in which human beings lose what it means to be human is sorrowful, yet now I cannot help but feel, with deep anguish, that society has reached a dead end from which there is no way ahead. For this reason, we have continued to hold the IDAKI Counseling Course and our concerts where people can regain their humanity. This is not a time to lose heart. I know with my whole being that, now, at this very moment, we must continue onward and create a world in which new human beings can truly live. Each day, I feel the presence of Great Being, and I am grateful that I can live because there is a presence that always stays with me under any circumstances. During this season, the greenery of the trees shines brilliantly, overflowing with life energy. Simply looking at it gives me strength. Life in nature in oneself, all life in oneself—they are working to create a world in which life can live. Wishing again from the bottom of my heart for a world where we may live together and where all life may shine, I spent this day. Thank you very much.
Hello.
Today, we will hold a coffee ceremony and a gathering to compose poems at Tokyo Komaya. Yesterday's Master Idaki Shin concert changed me, changed the world—and changed them tremendously. Ever since I was a child, I have been able to see the invisible world. People always said I might be mentally ill, and I lived with great suffering. Yet after meeting Master Idaki Shin, I was able to experience that each person is born with different qualities, and that each can bring those differences to life. That is how I have been able to live until now. Yesterday, an experience occurred in which the invisible world and the visible world seemed to be finally becoming one. Having adapted myself to this man-made society—ideas such as “this is simply how things are,” ingrained moral values, and excessive concern for others—I became utterly exhausted. I could no longer go on in that way, and so I began to move as my life itself moves. As my body returned to itself, my words became precise. When I expressed those words aloud, precisely, I experienced that my body became better—or rather, came into balance. I felt that as long as I can do this, I will be able to live from now on without losing myself. This is connected to the concert message of “resistance to war.” I am filled with tremendous gratitude to know that living in this way can help create a peaceful world free of conflict—and that from now on, I can live such an extraordinary way of life. Master Idaki Shin’s concerts are no ordinary concerts. He puts his life into every single performance, and the world is at stake. The next concert will be in Kyoto. I sincerely hope you will all come. Thank you very much.

Improvisation Poem
19th May. 2026 / in Tokyo
Light pouring from beyond
flows without end.
Receiving it, body and heart shine
and move freely.
The beginning.
Nothing covers life.
Nothing surrounds it.
Living in the vast universe,
we live as radiant life.

"Kaze-no-Tayori"
5th Apr. 2026
Birds are singing
Soaring high into far, far beyond
The wind blows
The wind is gentle
Merging with the voices of the birds
Here and now
Moment by moment
The brilliance of living life
Birds are singing
All becomes one
The wind is blowing
Now, now—this moment
The wind blows
Legends of Koguryo Rediscovered Concert – October 23rd, 2017 Kyoto
An infinitely transparent and beautiful world,
A single shining blue star,
An eternal soul.
The 19th king of Koguryo, Gwanggaeto the Great,
Was born under a light of Heaven,
In a world of war.
He continued to fight, and continued fighting.
He became a young king,
Leading the vanguard ahead.
He was challenged to risk his life in the middle of enemies.
The enemies, admiring the beauty of the young king,
Left without fighting.
He met desirable people to live together with,
Who became people of Koguryo, so we hear.
A wind was blowing in the land of the Gwanggaeto the Great, an infinity, an eternity, a clear mind.
He lived and kept his purest soul.
He entered into the enemy with an intention not to sacrifice anyone else's life.
He continued to fight.
There was a limit in this world, and
There was a limit in Heaven, he realized.
Soon or later far beyond Heaven,
An infinite world would be opened. Believing so,
He lived and fought together with Heaven.
Why could a human not live without a fight?
Why could a human kill a precious life?
He questioned the infinite world.
Soon or later, far beyond Heaven,
A time in which a light of the origin would appear,
A time in which many souls would accomplish their wish,
While knowing that there was a limit in Heaven,
A sorrow through his life with Heaven,
was engraved on the ground.
A time in which the land of sorrow would turn into light.
He continued to wish even after death, continued working,
He continued to make a time which would open far beyond Heaven
An appearance of a light of the origin,
An infinite world, opened far beyond Heaven.
All souls would wake up, revive, and gather.
The Beginning of a new era of new human beings.
Special message
Love transcending space-time
Brilliantly and beautifully shining internality manifests the authentic state of our life full of love.
In my teens, I suffered from many diseases almost in every part of my body and experienced life and death crises several times. In such a critical moment I shed tears with slight hope. And after a dozen of years of investigations, I realized the source of hope I had embraced as an eternal bearing for opening up a future. By properly acknowledging the internal conditions of my body, I discovered that communion with another person’s life happened within my body and not only mine but another person’s physical or mental pains and a state of illness can be nursed gradually or rapidly owing to the nature of human life that could meet others in a much broader and unknown dimensional space. I did not need to operate consciously nor wish to make this process happen: towards unity with nature, everything happened just naturally and repeatedly. Now my piano improvisations express this marvelous encounter with people at a very deep level of human life so that each of you may realize an authentic state of love and realize that your life is indeed shining on to eternity in this vast universal space.
