Today, after some absence, the Applied Course with Master Idaki Shin took place at the NPO KOMA Tohoku Center in Morioka. There was a large earthquake early in the morning, and I was deeply frightened. Because the Shinkansen was suspended, many people were unable to arrive, and empty seats were noticeable in the room; yet some managed to come partway through, and some arrived after the course was over—I felt that today was not an ordinary day. His words become the power to live. He spoke about rhythm again today, and within the course, I experienced firsthand that by regaining rhythm, the body's condition improves and one becomes balanced. Before it began, the energy of anxiety and fear stirred up by the earthquake filled me, but by the time it ended, I had broken free from it. Master Idaki Shin always shows us bearing and strength needed to live, and by being with us, what is unnecessary is sorted out and the original strength and power of life, is drawn forth. It is a truly precious experience.
Tomorrow there is a concert in Sendai. I am deeply grateful to have the chance to experience, once again, the power to live.
Hello.
Today is Master Idaki Shin’s birthday. To have reached this day with the concert sold out fills me with overwhelming joy and gratitude. Thank you so much. I had been striving to sell out the concert through a new approach. Even before the concert began, I felt that today marked a new beginning, and I could hardly contain my joy. At the concert, Master Idaki Shin performed on the piano for the first time without using the pedals, taking rhythm as the theme. I found his playing without pedals great fun. When he asked me afterward how I had found it, I told him that I had found it great fun. Somehow, I could not help feeling amused. Today, I felt as though I had no body. I wondered what that could mean, but in the end, I realized that I simply felt extraordinarily light. A little while ago, I accidentally fell backward, but I landed so lightly that I did not hurt myself at all. It made me wonder whether this might be how I am naturally. In any case, there is no doubt that something has changed profoundly. The concert has only just ended, and I am speaking before I have been able to sort through everything, but it was a new experience—an entirely new experience, unlike anything I had ever known. It was tremendously enjoyable, and I felt my true strength emerging. It was an extremely extraordinary experience. Please excuse my clumsy words, as the concert has only just ended. Yet I can feel unmistakably in my body that a new tomorrow is beginning and that a new life is beginning. I could also feel the rhythm described in Master Idaki Shin’s concert message—the rhythm of coming back to life in an instant through the warmth of the nurses when he was close to death. An indescribable warmth—something deeply human—remains right here within me even now. I was given a truly wonderful experience that made me want to go on living here, just like this. Thank you very much.

Improvisation Poem
27th June. 2026 / at Yamamotog
A wind is born.
Toward where the wind blows.
The far beyond unfolds,
and a path leading into future after future
comes into view.
Following this path,
riding this wind,
I soar mightily.
The future is boundless.
Hope.

A strong, powerful wind
shows us the way—
to move at once,
toward a new world,
toward an unknown world.
Rising up
into the far beyond.
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.
