My dream for this life has come true

For the rest of my life, I will be self-sufficient using AI.
In other words, I will make what I want myself.
This means I hope to create things (content) as well.

The goal for my music is
to listen to my own compositions on Amazon Music.

Therefore, it was a major prerequisite to release my own music
via a tool that allows it to be heard on Amazon Music.

I have been making music with Suno,
and since there are already songs released there,
in reality, I have already been able to listen to songs I made with AI, but

I wanted to include my own songs
in the playlists of the wonderful music that exists in the world.
This was my primary objective.

Instead of listening to music by switching between various media,
I wanted to have one place to go when I listen to music.

This was also my biggest goal for this life, and
by uploading my own songs to DistroKid early in the new year,
I am finally able to listen to my own music on Amazon Music.
With this, the main part of my dream for this life has been fulfilled.

This was truly only possible because we live in an era where an AI tool like Suno exists,
and for me, it has been something I am incredibly grateful for.

If it weren't for Suno,
it is certain that I would not have been able to make music this quickly.

Although many things are not yet organized,
I intend to start by moving, trying things out, and then continuing to improve.

In my life,
at this point where I don't even know when I passed the halfway mark,
the fact that there is still something I can find fun
was not on the map of the future as seen from the past.

Regardless, even if I can put the music that pops into my head into sheet music,
that is only the melody and chords.

If the performance were only piano, I could make as much as I want, but
if I could just sing and play piano myself,
and if I could be satisfied with that,
I would have done it long ago.

However, the genres I love uncontrollably are diverse,
including rock (hard rock included), jazz, funk, pop, classical music,
ska, R&B, and other music genres that have moved my heart.

Above all, to perform the sounds I envision,
I don't know how many more times I would have to be reincarnated
to achieve that.

I also love vocal music,
but in this life, I am living in a vessel that is fatally bad at singing,
and on top of that, because my cognitive ability for simple calculations is very weak (at a level where I struggle with 5+7 or 5+8),
I use up all my energy just reading sheet music.

I don't understand the length of musical notes (I can't tell unless I calculate it in Excel, etc.). This is a fatal flaw for a piano player.

It is truly natural that I cannot read the sheet music I arranged and created myself,
and since I use music notation software, I listen to the performance and
remember, 'Oh yes, it was something like this.'
Those are my days.

In my 20s, I lamented my lack of ability and practiced and trained hard...
but while raising children, I realized that my cognitive function for calculation is low,
which means that with my current brain,
I would have to raise it from the cognitive level.

Regarding calculation ability,
in this life, by leaving it to others, I can become part of the flow of coexistence.

In that case, even creating a single piece of music becomes a division of labor,
and if you ask me if I want to create my own music even at the cost of other people's time and effort,
that's not really the case either,

it's just music that I want to listen to myself,
or it's at the level of thinking that words that suddenly come to mind would sound good if turned into music,

so everything other than "Lyrics and Composition: Azuki Shijima"
will be left entirely to others.

Even since I was a child,
I wrote down things I thought of several times, but I always felt something was off,

and I also thought the songs I wrote when I was learning jazz piano were very boring,
and I now think that was because the gap between them and what was playing in my head was too large.

So, to explain what I am recording,
for now, in my music creation with Suno,

■ Vocal tracks
Me: Lyrics and arrangement
Suno: Everything else
(Composition, performance, vocals, and all mix-related adjustments)

■ Instrumental tracks
・Pattern 1
Me: Composition and arrangement
Suno: Performance pattern

・Pattern 2
Me: Concept (i.e., prompt) and arrangement
Composition/Performance: Suno

I am doing it in these patterns.
That is how it is.

It is a perfectly sunny day.
