Isshi's Tedium Diary
#11
Hello, how is everyone doing? I'm Isshi.
It was finally released. The long-awaited single, "Yume Izuru Chi"! I think everyone is already listening to it, but please listen more, more, and sing with me at lives! And our album is coming out in a little while too. It'll give you a taste of Kagrra up until the present and into the future. Certainly relish it. Rather, please come to the tour starting from May and tell me "I want to eat it up!" for the things you normally hate, painful things, and sad things. Let's entirely eat it up.
It feels like a release rush these days, but for today's topic I think I want to talk about "Where is 'Yume Izuru Chi'?" I think everyone is probably guessing "Paradise, Heaven." Over and over, I often wonder things like "Is there really a heaven?" and "Can I imagine there's such a heaven beyond the sky?" If the thing called 'heaven' really exists, what would be there? Feasts beyond what you can eat? Everything you want? I think heaven is surely an empty world. Even if there are feasts before my eyes, if I think 'I want to eat' I won't eat anything, even if I obtain things I want, if I think 'I want that' I won't get anything. That is to say, it's a world without desire. Since cause, reason, and desire all exist, if those aren't there I don't need it. But whether it's an empty or a happy world, I think differently. 'Desire' has something of a dark image, but I think it's a desire to want to help people, and for this to become the future! Therefore if pushed I'd have to say, I think this present world has places that are Paradise or Heaven.
So you might say, if "Yume Izuru Chi" isn't Paradise or Heaven, where is it? It's the place where you become one with us at a livehouse! I've put a long introduction here, but what I wanted to say was it's surely "Yume Izuru Chi" where various desires are swirling around in the live space. I want everyone to listen to this song more, and become one with us more, and be together with us more. I believe everyone else thinks that way too. Therefore the place we can make that happen is surely a livehouse that is "Yume Izuru Chi." From now on it'll be in a lot of our lives. Live by live, I want us to feel that. I'll be praying for you all to feel it with me.
Well then, let's meet again next time. Yours truly.
