Today at Tokyo Komaya, we held a screening of the “Legends of Koguryo Rediscovered” performed in Tyre, Lebanon—the first overseas performance of this work—along with the gathering “Today’s Story and Dialogue.” In the space embraced by natural wood, sound resonates and harmonizes, creating a magnificent echo. It was instantly clear that the “Legends of Koguryo Rediscovered” in Lebanon was a work of life-risking expression. My body and mind were straightened; I became deeply focused, absorbed completely in seeing and listening. A storm of emotion swept through me. Every moment was filled with inspiration, and at the end, as on the day of the performance, I was moved to tears beyond words. The audience then shouted “Bravo!” rose to their feet and applauded endlessly. Phoenician souls surged like a mighty wave, and I remember bursting into tears, overwhelmed, as if it were yesterday. Even today my body reacted in the same way, trembling with deep emotion. Thinking of the people in the Middle East, where conflicts still continue and conditions remain harsh, I felt again that as a human being, I must act—to find ways to make the impossible possible. My heart was firmly set. I have always been working for the realization of world peace. Though various circumstances have made it difficult to visit regions such as the Middle East and Africa, I clearly see there is still so much to do. From Japan, I wish with all my heart to dedicate myself to creating movements that can bring peace into reality and open paths for many to be saved. I understand that expressing such innermost wishes and paving the way toward their realization is itself the meaning of life. I felt the soul of Professor Ghazi of the Faculty of Fine Arts at the Lebanese University, with whom I created the “Legends of Koguryo Rediscovered” in Lebanon and traveled together to many countries on our “Legends of Koguryo Rediscovered” concert tour. I also felt the soul of the mayor of Tyre. Both have now passed away, and though I often felt the sadness of no longer being able to meet them when visiting Lebanon, I know our souls remain together. Today became a precious time to reflect once again on how important it is to continue activities and work that allow the souls of those who have departed to be rewarded. After the screening, the coffee tasted exceptionally delicious. Amidst the waves of emotion, we shared coffee together, and from silence, expressions gradually began to emerge, allowing us to spend a truly wonderful time together. In our dialogue, too, I felt the manifestation of souls growing deeper each day. I know that expressions born from the soul will spread across the world. From here, for new expressions capable of transforming the world to emerge, I will devote myself fully to this path. I am truly grateful for today.
