Will You Be There: Is Someone There With You

If Michael Jackson were
alive in this era,

in this age of 'division',
what kind of songs would he have left for us?

"Will You Be There"

The battles he fought were surely not just his own personal suffering.
They were against illness, prejudice, discrimination, loneliness, and the very world where people hurt one another.

That is why his songs do not end with the life of a single star.
They transcend time and borders, continuing to reach someone living in each passing moment.

Those fighting against illness.

Those suffering from bullying or discrimination they do not deserve.

Those carrying the weight of loneliness or the difficulty of living.

Those who cannot find a way out of their family relationships.

Those hurt by heartless words.

Those who have lost someone precious.

Those who have lost their daily lives to disaster.

Even if you feel frustrated,
even if it is painful,
let's keep on living.

To everyone who feels like they are being crushed by the absurdities of the world.

So that what Michael Jackson left behind
does not end here.

Will You Be There
—Is someone there?

*As Kant said, society cannot be changed by emotion alone. However, I believe entertainment has the power to move people's hearts and make them think, 'I want to live.'
*The fact that the lyrics contain the word 'Jordan River' does not mean it is support for Israel, nor does the appearance of a holy site imply Zionism. Including that point, I would like to introduce the lyrics themselves next time.
