このまま 目が覚めなければ いいのにな

苦しみの世界 生きることは疲れたな

このまま 白い光に溶ければ いいのかな

そしたら君は 僕のこと 気づくかな

ずっと この世界を嫌っていたけど 本当に嫌いなのは 自分だった

ずっと 誰も信じられなかったけど 一番信じなかったのは自分で

だから 君を傷つけ 自分も傷つけたよ

認めてほしくて 自分の存在を

このまま 目が覚めなければ いいのかな

このまま 目が覚めなければ

    Existence

    Shiroharu

Existence is a song that captures the delicate inner struggles and raw cry of the soul that Mitsuru carried at the age of twenty one.

Pain loneliness and vulnerability are preserved just as they were without being softened by beautiful words. It is an honest record of a young soul.

At the time people who heard the song performed live would sometimes tell Mitsuru that it felt as though the song was telling their own story.

Nearly twenty years have passed since then.

The words Mitsuru once sang wishing that he would never wake up have now changed into a question of whether it might be better not to wake up.

It is only a subtle change in words yet it carries nearly twenty years of the life Mitsuru has lived.

A song born from the desire to have his own existence acknowledged has grown through time into a song that reaches toward the existence of someone living today.

From Mitsuru at twenty one to you living in this moment.

Existence

Nearly twenty years later the song returns with a new sound.

Artist Profile

  • Shiroharu

    Shiroharu is an IP artist unit formed by Mitsuru and Hikari. Centered on music and storytelling, Shiroharu transforms the stories of individuals, organizations, and businesses into artistic expressions through music, literature, and multimedia projects. The duo was formed on August 31, 2024, through the audio platform stand.fm. Within just one month of launching their activities, they reached No.1 on the platform's Music Ranking, gaining attention for their unique fusion of music and literary expression. Their creative philosophy is rooted in two themes: standing beside those who are suffering, and encouraging those who dare to pursue their dreams. Through songs, essays, stories, and other creative works, they seek to inspire hope, courage, and human connection. Mitsuru spent many years working in hospice care, accompanying countless individuals through the final stages of life. Drawing from these experiences, he creates stories and lyrics that explore life, loss, and hope. After a career in healthcare and welfare services, he chose an independent path dedicated to artistic expression through music and words. Hikari is a singer-songwriter and screenwriter whose vocals bring depth and emotion to Shiroharu's works. Her voice combines clarity and strength, breathing life into the stories they create. Prior to forming Shiroharu, both Mitsuru and Hikari had already established careers in music and literature. Their achievements include the PHP Award, the Bungei Shicho Essay Award, the Ozaki Hosai Award, and a Bronze Award in the Music Video & Vocalist category at the Houston International Film Festival. Together, they have created more than 100 original songs and have collaborated with producers from major Japanese record labels, as well as musicians who support nationally recognized artists and idol groups. Since 2025, Shiroharu has developed its own creative branding methodology, Sound Story Branding, which transforms personal and corporate narratives into music, films, written works, and other forms of artistic expression designed to create long-term value. On January 7, 2026, Mitsuru and Hikari founded HalScene Inc. Today, Shiroharu serves as the creative and philosophical core of the company, continuing to explore new possibilities at the intersection of music, storytelling, and human experience.
