**Eye Cloud**

In recent years, platforms like YouTube and social media have made accessing information more convenient. However, I feel that they have also accelerated individuals' "need for recognition."

Some people go to extreme lengths to attract attention, while others are increasingly hurt by anonymous slander. The gap between one's online persona and their real-life self has grown, leading some to believe that they have no value if they don't receive enough "likes."

However, what truly matters is found in the simple things of everyday life. For example, no matter how many pictures of food you look at, you won't feel full. Likewise, while online tools are undoubtedly useful, if you become overly dependent on them, you might lose sight of the true flavors of life. I wrote this song to convey this message.

**Love Song**

This is a song I wrote when I was 26, during my time with a band in Tokyo.

A famous author once said, "Desire in love is to possess the other person, while love itself is an expression of compassion where you want to devote yourself to the other person. That's why we don't talk about parental or sibling 'love' in the same way."

I fell in love with a woman I was close to at that time. However, she already had a boyfriend.

We joked around as friends when we were with others, and I listened to her worries, but I could never convey my true feelings.

I wanted to do something, even if just a little, to make her happy. My feelings were a complex mix of love and affection, but the desire to devote myself to her out of compassion was stronger.

I put these feelings into a song.

Setting aside romantic feelings, our lives might be more peaceful if we have compassion not only for our own desires but also for the well-being of the other person and those around them.

Artist Profile

  • MUNNAKA

    Real name, hohtai mitsui The Temple Myotaiji in District, Fukui Prefecture, is one of the Seven Lucky Gods temples. As a monk, I engage daily in temple life, dealing with many people's deaths, memorial services, and prayers for the deceased. Through these activities, I offer consultations and sermons, often dealing with sorrow and worries. In my search for something more I could do, I focused on Kenji Miyazawa's "Ame ni mo Makezu" (Be Not Defeated by the Rain). The beautiful poetry, which clearly expresses the heart of Buddhism, deeply moved me. This way of life resonated with my previous musical activities before becoming a monk. Reflecting on history, I felt a daily contradiction: ideologies and religions, which should have been born to empathize with people's hearts, often develop into imposition and conflict due to differences in thinking and feeling. "Religion" exists in every cultural sphere, but "music" is also deeply rooted in all cultures around the world. Unlike religious conflicts, while people have preferences for different music genres, I have never met anyone who dislikes music itself, which gives me great hope. I firmly believe that thoughts and emotions that cannot be conveyed through difficult expressions or words can be communicated through "sound" and "music," transcending all kinds of discrimination. The power of music, which transcends words, borders, and all racial differences, brings us a great circle, and I am convinced that this circle connects to the "circle of Peace" (harmony) of peace. While performing my temple duties, I am also active throughout Fukui Prefecture. My recording partner, Ikke, is a friend from elementary school and an early member of my band when we were seriously active in Tokyo. While singing the band's songs with just an acoustic guitar and performing at open mics and acoustic live shows for the first time in 16 years, I was asked by a radio personality to create a band recording for use as the ending theme for a radio show. I then reached out to my old friend Ikke, and we began creating acoustic rock recordings, leading to where we are now. In live performances, my goal is to see how much I can express with just one acoustic guitar.
