#Way of Life 'Days of Connection Leading Up to the Summer Festival'

'That kind of thing,'

'I wanted to summarize and write it all down!'

My partner on Stand.fm, Ayaka-san,

does things for me without me even having to ask,

just as I had been thinking.

Starting with the schedule for the day,

she skillfully summarized the flow of preparations

we have made leading up to the festival.

I truly feel the depth of our connection.

What I want to convey through this summer festival project is,

as the lyrics of our theme song 'Days of Connection' say,

that by taking the four steps of

accepting each other, communicating with each other,

mingling with each other, and creating together,

we can deepen our connections

with everyone who resonates with this idea.

In that process, by receiving inspiration

and feeling the kindness of others,

each of our lives will become richer.

I truly believe it.

This summer festival is truly,

during a Stand.fm live stream in June,

by accepting and sharing with each other,

the project was born.

And,

the process of planning the event,

the process of songwriting,

the process of preparation,

the process of conversation during the Stand.fm live stream,

the process of Kichise@Seiso,

and the process of volunteer cooperation,

we were able to mingle,

and create something,

feeling the stimulation,

and the kindness of people,

and in fact,

I am even receiving the strength to move toward tomorrow.

During the preparation period,

many people have been

singing the theme song.

First of all,

after seeing my lyrics,

Happu-san said the melody came to them,

and they blended it together to create and complete the song,

and the volunteers are building upon that foundation.

Upon hearing that song,

Daina-san, who is also a festival singer,

responded immediately and sang it.

Another singer, Sou-san, also

in the style of Mika Nakashima,

sang it right away.

And then,

Ochabo-san, who should have put down the microphone long ago,

picked up the microphone once again.

Furthermore,

with a singing voice just like the real Eriko Kusuda,

they sang it.

Kakinotane-san sang for me.

My partner Ayaka-san also,

shouted out,

Gottsandesu!!

Even that Mother Teresa-like

loveheart-san

kindly reached out a hand to me.

And Toshi-san,

for some reason,

played our days of connection on an instrument.

Though nervous,

Kiki-san let me hear

her cute singing voice.

Saying she saw me on the street corner,

Zerisawa Nashi-san

sang along with me.

Not just his speaking voice,

but his singing voice is also deeply flavorful,

Okaguchiya Genta-san also

sang and promoted the show.

I want to thank you all.

Of course, I too,

every time you sing,

have been singing along in a duet,

and while savoring each of your singing voices and

your warm words,

I have been able to deepen our connection.

Truly,

this preparation period

has been a time of connection.

Now,

more than I had imagined,

the connections have spread,

and I am able to feel them deepening.

Through my approximately two and a half years of activity on note and

my approximately one and a half years of activity on Stand.fm,

thanks to those who resonate

with my thoughts and feelings,

I too have found richness in life

I am beginning to feel it.

Already,

it has become my life's work,

this activity of connecting.

Looking forward,

I want to walk the path

that leads to a bright future.

<We are already starting to move toward autumn!>

Let's deepen our connections through creative activities😊.
