Grass & Wind (feat. Tsurumaki Maki)

Grass & Wind (Prayer of the Wind)

This song was born from walks with my buddy.

Looking for shade. Feeling the scent of the wind. Stopping in the grass. And simply walking together.

The words in this song began as quiet conversations with my dog. Over time, they grew into something larger: a reflection on how we relate to one another, to our neighbors, and to the world around us.

All lyrics are written in simple English.

I chose simple words because I wanted this message to reach as many people as possible, regardless of nationality or language.

At its heart, this song is about kindness.

Kindness toward family. Toward friends. Toward neighbors. Toward strangers. Toward all living beings who share this world with us.

In the final section, the wind itself seems to whisper:

"be gentle now"
"be gentle still"

The boy and his buddy cannot hear those words.

Yet they remain, like a quiet prayer carried by the wind, watching over every step they take.

Originally, I planned to release this song together with an instrumental version. However, due to the schedule of an upcoming Vocaloid event, I decided to release this first version now and let it begin its journey.

The song may continue to evolve.

But I wanted to preserve this moment exactly as it is today.

May dogs walk safely and peacefully.

And may we all become a little gentler toward one another.
