Self-Introduction | "Voice," a Live House Where You Connect with Voices

Thank you so much for coming today🎸✨

Nice to meet you🌸
My name is Nao, the manager of "Voice."
This is a live house located here on note.

The concept is "silent communication."

Where "just a single word" rings out on stage.
Listen with the ears of your heart.

It is a place where such slightly unusual live performances take place.

"What is the point of that?"

You might be thinking.

But perhaps you, too,

"have had your life saved by just a single word."

You might have had that experience.

It could be:

• A casual word from a friend
• A line you happened to come across
• A phrase you heard by chance

It might be.

Just one word is enough.

When you listen with the ears of your heart to the "voice" you are seeking,
you can connect from the heart.

One day in junior high, I fell in love.
She lent me a CD.

It was BUMP OF CHICKEN's "Tentai Kansoku" (Observing the Stars).

4 minutes and 24 seconds.
I was struck by the drama woven into the lyrics.

It was the first moment I realized the "power of words."

And so, I became immersed in the world of lyrics.

Lying down alone.
Listening to songs while looking at the lyric card.
Repeating them over and over, savoring the words.

I became a complete music lover.

Some of the lyrics were a bit difficult to understand.

But it's strange, isn't it?
One day, a moment comes when you suddenly understand.

When you listen over and over, it starts to resonate.
The true feelings of the author embedded in those lyrics.

Even though we hadn't exchanged a single word,
I felt a deep, profound connection.

That was the beginning of "silent communication."

It's not about gaining knowledge.
It's not about acquiring skills.
But—.

It was the same in my work.
What mattered most, after all,
was "silent communication."

The pain, suffering, and joy of my patients.
I listen with the ears of my heart to those "voiceless voices."
That is how I have built relationships with my patients.

It is the same even when it comes to my own precious family.

Listening with the ears of my heart to the "voice" of someone dear.
That is what it means to cherish those who are important to me.

What resonates when you listen with the ears of your heart, beyond words.

That is what builds trust with loved ones.
It prompts the realizations we need.
It can even be the catalyst for starting something new.

The connections created by "silent communication"
have that kind of power.

I want to write down those "chemical reactions of the heart"
and let them ring out in this live house.

That is why I built this live house.

Live House "Voice."

This is a place where someone's "voice" resonates.

・A casual remark from daily life.
・A whisper from your own heart, or the heart of someone dear.
・A voice left behind by someone.
・A single line written in a book.
・A voice that cannot be spoken.

Listening to the "voices" that remain in the heart,
and having a chat.

This is a place where such unconventional live performances take place.

Thank you for reading ☺️
