I am Minna no Yusuke, a singer-songwriter. My music is not just a collection of pretty words or generic cheers. It is a record of mud-stained hope that I discovered while trembling at the edge of despair. In 2022, an invisible storm called Long COVID struck me. I was diagnosed as unfit for work, and my daily life crumbled as I frequently lost consciousness and collapsed. The normalcy I had known until yesterday vanished beneath my feet. I lived in isolation, clutching a Help Mark, hiding in the shadows of society. During those dark times, what saved me was not someone else causes perfect success story; it was the existence of others who, while carrying their own pain, were desperately trying to live through today. That is why I sing. To you, who are buckling under the weight of the normal mask: I will never deny the tears you swallow on crowded trains or the silent screams in your heart. That pain is the greatest proof that you are fighting to live. As a challenger turning weakness into strength: I am not a powerful hero. I get lost, I get hurt, and I stop in my tracks many times. But by baring that vulnerability, I want to give you an overwhelming sense of affirmation: It is okay to exist exactly as you are, imperfect and all. To be a companion of the soul beyond music: My messages on TikTok and social media are all for one purpose: to ensure that no one is left alone. By incorporating perspectives from healthcare and welfare, I hope to support your journey of living from multiple angles. The Inner Flame I sing of may not be bright enough to blind the darkness. But I want it to be an unquenchable light that burns quietly beside you on a freezing night. It is okay. Your story is not over yet. Let us play through this path together, one step at a time. Rising from rock bottom, turning pain into compassion. Loving myself as I am, and continuing to stay close to the hearts of others. That is the way of life of the artist, Minna no Yusuke.
