Tomorrow, Master Idaki Shin’s concert will be held at Kaze-no Hall of Mitaka City Arts Center. In each moment of his improvisational performance, he receives energy from the entire world and expresses the way to resolution and liberation. I can feel, through my own life, unnecessary burdens and heaviness being released from the inside. When there is no weight, cloud, or layer, a light appears from the core of life, and our true power emerges. I feel that this power is what we are meant to live and express, and at every concert, I experience the joy of discovering unknown strength within myself. Above all, to experience love is to truly feel alive. It is the very essence of living. A life without love is empty; a society without love is hollow. People lose their will to live and end up leading lives without knowing why they were born. This emptiness fills the air of the city; just walking through it makes me feel drained and desolate. Yet, I cannot allow myself to be defeated by it. From the depths of my heart, I wish to express breaking through this atmosphere. Words are life itself. Expressions born from the depths of life can change situations and open new paths for the future. When we express our innermost wishes, life itself becomes most vibrant and full of energy. I always strive to express myself from deep within to keep moving forward. At the concert, we can experience a dimension beyond this world; present problems and circumstances are instantly resolved, and a new life begins in a new dimension. Each time, I am embraced by indescribable emotions and filled with love, and I am sincerely grateful to be able to share the joy, united in life, with many who join us.
