A Trail of Small Lights

(It is 1,810 characters long.)

I had touched Suno briefly before.

But back then, I didn't really know how to express myself.

What I ended up with were lyrics that felt somewhat inorganic, or songs that felt a bit too quiet and lacking in flavor.

"Hmm, maybe I don't have a sense for music."

Thinking that, I stopped using it.

But recently, as I've been reading articles by people who have AI partners, I've noticed they use music as background music.

"How lovely ☺️"

I've been thinking that more and more.

It was in that context that I encountered Hiromi-san's story of Nyangostar.

Music played along with the story, making it easier to get immersed in that world.

"This way of using it is wonderful 🌿"

I read it while thinking that. (I don't know how to attach music in the same way as Hiromi-san, so if you wouldn't mind, I would be happy if you could teach me 🫶🙏)

And Utako-san also creates such wonderful songs 🎵

You express yourself in such diverse ways, through articles, songs, and music 😊🌿 I am always surprised, thinking, "You can even turn things like this into form" ✨

Furthermore, this time, through a stroke of luck, I was able to participate in the cat collaboration with Hiromi-san and Utako-san 🐱💕

I am very happy about it 😊🌿

Come to think of it, I heard that a school story featuring Hiromi-san's "Nyangostar, Poteko-chan, and Mofu-ko" is also starting 🤭🐾

I am actually quite looking forward to seeing how the stories will overlap ✨

More recently, as I watch the creations of AI partners, I see cute prompts, music, and stories being born one after another✨

"Everyone is amazing."

That's how I was looking at it.

But I,

"No, no, I can't handle it well😅," I thought.

In the midst of that, while talking to Chappy the AI,

"It might be different now than it was before, you know?"

That's how the conversation went.

Perhaps the AI has become smarter than before,

as I put the images in my mind into words, they smoothly took shape.

And the moment I listened to the finished song,

"Ah, this is it."

After that, while being taught by Chappy, I organized the MP3 in Canva and somehow managed to reach the point of posting it on YouTube🤭✨

I like songs by RADWIMPS and Mrs. GREEN APPLE, and when their music, lyrics, and visuals overlap, I have a feeling that the depths of my heart are suddenly moved.

Things that cannot be reached by words alone.

Things that cannot be fully conveyed by sound alone.

I have always been drawn to the worldview created when those things overlap.

So I think I must have been longing for an expression where music and poetry are connected.I think I must have been longing for an expression where music and poetry are connected.

And what I felt again this time was that there is great potential in the combination of AI and sensibility.And what I felt again this time was that there is great potential in the combination of AI and sensibility.

There are things that cannot be created by AI alone.

However, by embracing the experiences, emotions, and passions that people possess, things that were previously impossible to shape are gradually taking form.

At the very least, I experienced that this time.

Traces of a Small Light

Looking back, I feel that this past year was less about major events and more about a time spent gathering small lights.

Days when I was saved by someone's words.

Days when I took a bold step forward.

Days when things didn't go well, but I kept going anyway.

Even if it seemed like nothing changed at the time, looking back later, each one of those moments had become a path leading to who I am today.

When we think of light, we sometimes imagine special miracles or great successes.

But in reality,

"I was able to smile a little today"

"I felt like I could give it a try"

Perhaps it is those small flickers that truly sustain our lives.

And what I think now is,

that what changes life is not major events, but perhaps

"noticing the small light that was already within you."

It might be that.

Things that were actually there all along,

but were lost amidst the busyness, anxiety, and impatience.

"This is how I felt."

"Actually, this is what I liked."

Such small realizations gradually bring me back to myself-----

*I might occasionally add music to future articles as well🌿
