Life's road twists, our plans blown away
Chaos hits hard, we're here to stay
Got knocked down flat? Watch us bounce right back
(Us bounce right back)
Well, mistakes happen, that's just the way
Rearview's dusty with now faded yesterday
Dust yourself off, story's not done
(Keep movin' on)
Movin' on, Movin' on, into the unknown
(Just shinin' on)
Shinin' on, Shinin' on, with our inner light
Now rev up, restart
Life can rev again
No matter what your stage in life
From here on restart
It's not too late
No matter what them folks might say
From here on restart
Restart!
Dead ends and detours, map's torn away
We'll forge our path, brave come what may
Life beat us down? watch us ride far strong
(Us ride far strong)
Each deep scar we bear sharpens our song
As long as we're still ridin', can't go wrong
Keep that spirit, carry on and on
(Keep groovin' on)
Groovin' on, Groovin' on, to the rhythm of joy
(Just dreamin' on)
Dreamin' on, Dreamin' on, where we want to be
Now rev up, restart
The road unfolds
No matter what the darkness holds
From here on restart
It's not too late
No matter what the world might say
From here on restart
Restart!
Stumble, fall, but rise again
Past is gone, future's to gain
Doubt's noise? Just tune it out
Your path, your shout, no need to doubt
Movin' on, Movin' on, into the unknown
(Just shinin' on)
Shinin' on, Shinin' on, with our inner light
Now rev up, restart, Now rev up, restart
Life can rev again
No matter what your stage in life
From here on restart
It's not too late
No matter what them folks might say
From here on restart(Sha la la la la la la)
Restart!
From here on restart(Sha la la la la la la)
Restart!
From here on restart(Sha la la la la la la)

In This Place
Shu Hakamada
Hello music lovers! I'm Shu Hakamada, a Japanese singer-songwriter born on 1959. I suffered hearing loss in 2006 and was forced to give up my career as a professional musician in my mid-40s. Since then, I was away from music for over 15 years, but in 2024 I returned with a new passion.
'Restart' represents my musical rebirth, featuring a journey through diverse melodies and harmonies - from upbeat anthems to soul-searching ballads. Drawing inspiration from The Beatles, classic rock and roll, and Motown, these songs explore themes of love, grief, and hope.
This album was created entirely at home, with all tracks played, recorded, and mixed by myself.
Creating 'Restart' was like rediscovering a part of myself I thought I'd lost. It's living proof that age is no barrier to pursuing new dreams. We were all born to run - to chase our passions, overcome challenges, and reinvent ourselves at any stage of life.
