In This Place

Shu Hakamada

In this place, you don't have to prove yourself

With old friends, you can express your true self

That's all you need

In this place, you don't have to put on airs

Laughing aloud at our old jokes

When we were young, those silly times

No more, no less, my friend

Sometimes life's just gloomy

We need a place to hide

This place, you can be yourself at ease

And just be still, here until you find your calm

In this place, you don't have to feel alone

If you do, please reach out to me any time

Relax with me

Let your worries go

Sometimes life's just gloomy

We need a place to hide

This place, you can be yourself at ease

And just be still, here until you find your calm

In this place, you don't have to prove yourself

With old friends, you can express your true self

That's all you need, my dear friend

In this place, in this place, in this place

    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.
