Gratitude

I woke up this morning and felt the deepest gratitude for my life. My brain used to be alive but I realized that numerous souls, people and especially Mr. Idaki Shin had supported me to stay alive. Especially as I am in the process of getting accustomed to the state of my new constitution, I felt I was a newly born exercising one step after another.
In a lecture given by Mr. Idaki Shin he said that modern Japanese society has intentionally adopted a military troop controlling system. I recalled that a famous writer Mr. Saburo Arashiyama had dedicated himself till the last day of his life to speaking out against new laws that limited access to individuals. He warned that Japan was getting more and more like a military oriented country and oppressing free expression.
I heard also that the history of audio and sound have been under strict control by governmental bodies because music has the  power strongly to influence people’s mind.
The music of Mr. Idaki Shin has been considered by many so-calledmusic lovers as something other than music. However, I know the majority of the public do not show much interest in existing music so his music has huge potential. His unique style of improvisation is full of creativity and I believe many people will appreciate his music as something of historic and philosophical importance. His goal is to provide people a new space-time where each can develop his or her inner potential to the full and live a meaningful life by exercising his or her abilities in actual society. Like this everybody can contribute to building a new society for the coming generations.
