Soul of Koguryo

As I watched the brilliantly shining water surface of the Kamogawa river under an early sun beam and beautiful waving willows reflected on it I felt the arrival of a new spring and my heart danced with joy. Before I left Kyoto for Tokyo, I renewed my heart and swore to realize taking new actions in order to achieve the deepest wishes.
This time I took the Chuou highway after a long absence and while the outside temperature was very cold such as four to six degrees under zero and mountains were covered with snow, within my heart I envisioned a light-scape of spring. By chance I came across a place with name of “Koma” that made me acknowledge that there was some historic connection and a guidance by souls as this name always jumped into my eyes to stop the flow of time. I realized that souls of Koguryo’s people were appealing to me and waiting for us. I knew that we could build a truly good country when people’s souls would be revived so I have been waiting for the moment of resurrection of souls in Japan. At this end I would keep on organizing our concert activities and paving a way for unifying the hearts of people in East Asia and realizing a global peace.
“Koma” signified the high spirituality of realizing a Heavenly world on Earth. This was not something particular to one tribe of people but a universal idea. Therefore I considered that any person who shared the same in one’s soul was named as Koguryo’s people and its central idea of realizing the wishes of Heaven was named as Koguryo’s soul that was guided by the most cherished king who had built a glorious dynasty with whom one had wished to live all together forever. I recalled that there was a historic description telling that even an enemy could join Koguryo if one understood its idea and wished to live together. Now that in Japan souls of Koguryo were reviving I felt the arrival of time to realize ideals of Heaven and rebuild our country. This should be a beginning of realizing our deepest wishes. My heart became very excited.
Under any difficult circumstances, as I embraced within my internality the dream of Mt. Gojo, my homeland at heart, I could live a vigorous life full of hope and energies to achieve my sincere wishes. I would head for the time when each of my fellows would manifest their true nature, brilliantly shine and get together.
