Can't Take It, Want to Take It, Want to Live Longer

At the end of your life, what can you truly take with you?
Money, status, fame, jewels, beauty, love, and even the people you cherish most.
No matter how much we gain in life, there comes a day when we must leave it all behind.
And yet, we long to hold on to everything. Above all, we wish we could live just a little longer.
"Can't Take It, Want to Take It, Want to Live Longer" is a deeply emotional song that explores human desire, attachment, and the preciousness of life.

The song is based on an original concept by Taido Ishige, the head priest of Kongoji Temple in Nishitokyo City, Tokyo, Japan, with lyrics and music written by Sekimusashi.
Behind the glamour and beauty of life lies its fleeting nature. As time passes relentlessly, this song invites us to reflect on what truly matters.
In the end, what remains is not wealth or fame, but the legacy of a life filled with laughter, tears, love, forgiveness, and unforgettable moments.
"We cannot take it with us. We wish we could. And more than anything, we want to live longer."

Life is a precious and limited journey.

How will you choose to live yours?
