maishinta "AYMAE"
"AYMAE" is a song born from contemplating the mystery of life.
The song was written when maishinta's daughter was only about a month and a half old.
A life that, only a short while before, had not yet appeared anywhere in this world was now breathing right before our eyes.
Her small body breathing, sleeping, smiling, and making sounds.
As we watched each of these moments, a deeply fundamental feeling naturally arose within us: how beautiful life is.
When do we become who we are?
From a single cell, a body takes shape, a heart begins to beat, and eventually a new life is born into this world.
Without anyone teaching it how, the body knows how to breathe, and life itself seeks to live.
Because this happens within the ordinary course of everyday life, it is easy to forget just how profoundly mysterious it really is.
Our own lives, the lives of our children, and the lives of trees and animals are not separate things existing far apart from one another, but are resonating together within one great cycle of life.
"AYMAE" is a song that arose from this sense of wonder and reverence for life.
Rather than trying to explain these feelings, we wanted to preserve in sound, as directly as possible, what was taking place deep within the body in that moment.
"AYMAE" was born in this way.
Where does life come from, and where does it return to?
This song does not try to answer that question.
It simply turns toward the fact that we are alive here and now.
That we are breathing.
That one life is meeting another.
That in itself is already something like a miracle.
"AYMAE" is music for resting within that quiet sense of wonder.
For moments in the midst of busy days when we are close to forgetting the simple fact that we are alive.
For moments when we want to feel the presence of someone dear to us once again.
And for moments when we want to listen closely to the countless signs of life that exist throughout this world.
We hope this song can become a sound that touches the "memory of life" within each person.

Artist Profile
maishinta
maishinta is a Japanese musical duo formed by Shinta Sakamoto and Mai Sakamoto. =============== SHINTA SAKAMOTO Profile Shinta started playing the piano at the age of 3 and began composing at 12. At 23, he co-founded Tokyo Recordings (now TOKA) with musical collaborators from his student days, including Nariaki Obukuro and Yaffle. His work spans film scores, songwriting for artists, and creating music for TV commercials. In 2015, following the passing of his grandmother, Shinta traveled to London, where he began singing. In April 2016, he met Mai Mukaida, who later became his wife (now Mai Sakamoto), and they began creating music together. Shinta also established his own music label, 8th MAY Records, and has released over 30 albums (more than 300 tracks) under names such as maishinta and Shinta Sakamoto. In 2023, all 300 tracks from 8th MAY Records became available for streaming on maishinta music. In 2024, as a practice to connect his creativity with peace-building, Shinta founded SINGA, a singing meditation project. Through music, he continues to engage in diverse activities aimed at making the world a more peaceful and loving place. ============= MAI SAKAMOTO Profile At 15, Mai encountered a humanitarian aid worker in Nepal, which inspired her to visit the country alone at 17. This experience led to further meaningful connections, and at 26, she launched the Coffret Project, aimed at boosting women's self-esteem through makeup. She later founded the cosmetics brand Lalitpur to support women who are survivors of human trafficking. As her public speaking engagements, including TED Talks, increased, she became fascinated by the power of the voice. She began writing and performing her own poetry. In April 2016, Mai met Shinta Sakamoto, her future husband, and sang on the track HOHOEMI, which was born from her being late to their first meeting. This marked the beginning of her music career as part of maishinta. To date, Mai has released four albums as maishinta, sold at locations including Tower Records nationwide. In 2024, she co-founded SINGA with Shinta, a singing meditation project that helps people reconnect with warmth and the experience of love through vocal resonance.
