I met another regular at the sauna.
Every time we met, he would talk passionately about his beloved koi fish - the water temperature, the food they eat, the beauty of their patterns, and the unique charm of each individual fish.
As I listened to his stories, I found myself thinking, "This sounds just like someone in love."
That inspiration became Koi Monogatari ~A Love Beneath the Surface~.
Is it love, or is it koi?
The more I listened, the harder it became to tell the difference.
And behind it all is the rich and colorful life experience of a man who has lived life to the fullest.
This song warmly and playfully captures the feelings of someone who truly loves koi fish.
As a middle-aged man who has passed the halfway point of life, I've experienced many things - laughter, anger, tears, gratitude, regret, and even resentment. Still, life only comes once. With the thought, "I want to meet the people who truly matter and live with laughter," I continue to create music from the heart. I used to be just a listener, but after the passing of my mother and my best friend, I began to feel that maybe I could turn my emotions into music. I once attended a music school, but starting over with instruments and vocal training at my age felt uncertain. Then I discovered AI composition - an encounter that reignited a passion I thought was fading away. Through AI, I've found a way to give shape to kindness, pain, and hope, creating songs that gently sit beside someone's heart. In the time I have left, if I encounter another moment that deserves to become a song, I'll cherish it and let it live through music. Even if I'm clumsy, I'll keep creating - with sincerity, and with a heart that still believes in connection.
