In my childhood,
my life nearly ended many times.

Yet, this light has continued without ever going out.

I was told in the past that "being alive is special."

But now I understand.

It's not special.
I was protected.

In those days when I was constantly on the brink of death,
there was someone who never gave up and continued to hold me close.

This song, "Protected Light," is the first song of gratitude I wrote for my mother.

It's a song that embodies the meaning of "a life that has been allowed to live" and

Artist Profile

  • KOJI KIKUCHI

    Carve trees and spin songs. Kikuchi Koji is a man who has been passionate about music in his heart while sweating on the field every day as a carpenter. When I was in high school, I participated in a local contest with a band I formed with my friends, and won the best prize and the vocal award. The applause he received on that stage gave him the dream of "living with music". About 15 years ago, they joined an indie label as a duo. He took the first step as a professional, but his activities did not last long and soon disbanded. From there on, the days that I couldn't sing as I wanted continued. Daily work, life, reality. Even so, somewhere in my heart, I couldn't give up. And the year before last. The thoughts that have been suppressed for a long time are on fire again. With courage, I applied for an audition for the current music and entertainment agency. The result is - passed. Back to the stage. To the world of music again. "From the dissolution of the duo to the passing of the audition the year before last, it was really a long time without singing. That's why I'm chewing on the joy of being able to sing in front of everyone like this every day. Solid manual work as a carpenter and straightforward words as a singer-songwriter. Using both of them as a weapon, Kikuchi Koji sings today. From the scene to the stage. The story of sweat and passion has just begun.
