tsunagu

The album tsunaguby sekimaru presents kotonecto is a work filled with love and hope, born from the artist's own experiences of surviving a long and grueling battle against illness.

On February 3, 2021, I was suddenly struck by a serious disease: acute lymphoblastic leukemia.
Thus began a long and harsh journey of treatment and recovery.
Throughout these years, I faced multiple relapses and underwent three transplant surgeries, supported by the kindness of bone marrow donors through the Bone Marrow Bank.

Over five years of fighting the disease, I came to deeply realize two things: the preciousness of life, and that no one is ever truly alone.
I was constantly supported by my family and closest friends, and even by countless people I had never met who reached out through SNS with messages of encouragement and hope.
Their words became a vital source of strength that helped me overcome the darkest moments.

Through these experiences, I felt a strong desire to leave behind a message - to share the emotions of those who are fighting illness, to express gratitude to my family, my friends, and everyone who has supported me.
That is what led me to begin writing lyrics during my hospital stay, and ultimately to the creation of this album, "tsunagu," featuring six heartfelt songs.

"tsunagu" carries countless messages of love and gratitude.
I sincerely hope that it reaches your heart.
