Idaki Shin concert

The piano at our Kyoto office was a very special one with ninety seven keys that could generate dynamic bass sound and energy that shook Mother Earth and the vast universe. At the concert I realized that human life was indeed a cosmic one. I became motivated to live a dynamic life. My heart became wide open and filled with vigor. I considered that the music played by Mr. Idaki Shin was a message from an eternal world far beyond the universe that made my heart enter the pure state of nothingness and my life was filled with extreme joy of being unified with cosmic space. I uttered naturally a phrase from a poem that was “this was the very moment when I could realize that I was alive”, which I had created in my teens to express a fresh wind of spring at the Daikakuji temple in Kyoto. Since childhood I have been speculating on the meaning of my life and the music by Mr. Idaki Shin provided me with the answer. He could express sensations, energy of life and great impressions that shook my life from the depth of my soul. This was what we usually described as our life and his music covered everything we experienced under this word far beyond its meaning in language. My life was greatly moved and trembled with gratitude at his marvelous music that made me realize an authentic joy to be born in this world. In such a moment I was experiencing an eternity and love. Today I realized that my life made a leap into the vast universe and the extremely pleasant state of life. I felt like speaking out to people all over the world that humankind was indeed extremely precious, full of potential and marvelous. I sincerely wished from the bottom of my heart that every person would come to experience his concert at least once in one’s life time as one could realize the essential nature of one’s life.
