はじまりは 小さな産声
何も知らずに この世界へ
不安も夢も まだ持たずに
ただあなたを 探していた
病室の天井 消えない匂い
小さな胸に 搖れる鼓動
抱きしめるその腕の中
何度も守られていた
当たり前に過ぎた日々は
当たり前なんかじゃなかった
途切れそうな命の糸を
あなたは離さなかった
僕が産まれた その奇跡を
あなたは命がけで守った
流した涙も 眠れぬ夜も
全部 愛だったんだね
生かされて ここにいる
当たり前じゃない今日の朝
胸の奥で 今もずっと
響いているよ ありがとう
強くなれと 背中を押し
間違えたら 叱ってくれた
その厳しさの奥にあった
深い願いに 今気づく
「代われるなら代わりたい」
そう思ってくれてたこと
あとで知ったその言葉が
今も胸を締めつける
もしもあの日
ひとつでも 歯車が違ったら
今の僕はいない
それでも僕は ここにいる
あなたのもとに生まれてきた
選べるはずもない運命が
こんなにも愛おしい
震えるほどに 儚かった
あの鼓動の続きを
今は強く この胸で
鳴らしている
消えかけた灯りを
何度も あなたは守った
小さな体を抱いて
ただ「生きて」と願ってた
この命は偶然じゃない
あなたの祈りの証
涙の数だけ 強くなれと
繋いでくれた未来
僕が産まれた あの朝に
あなたはどんな空を見たの？
その瞳に映った未来に
今 少しはなれてるかな
この命は あなたの続き
流れる想いのバトン
胸を張って 胸を張って
生きていくよ
あなたの子として
産んでくれて
何度も守ってくれて
本当にありがとう

cherished light
KOJI KIKUCHI
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
It was digitally released on April 1st, 2026, my birthday.
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.
