Shelter 硬い空に にじむ星よ
心に手を添えて祈る
どうか 星を見上げる自由が
あなたの元にはありますように
いつも遠くに光る
あなたにもう一度 会いたい
We wait for a new world without walls
Wishing you a life full of love and happiness
Shelter 黒い雨に 染まらぬよう
勇気の傘を心にさして
進もう 私も望む彼方へ
あなたの命につながりますように
目に映る真の空
Zero から鼓動を ふるわせよう
We wait for a new world without walls
Wishing you a life full of love and happiness
あなたの言霊は 消えることはなく
いきている ひとりじゃないんだ
光を浴びようとも 闇に埋もれようとも
魂は共にある
We wait for a new world without walls
Wishing you a life full of love
あなたに歌う 星へと願う
We wait for a new world without walls
Wishing you a life full of love and happiness

Artist Profile
NAKAKAN
Born in Sapporo, Hokkaido, in 1983. Lived in Germany for approximately seven years until last autumn, returning to Japan thereafter. While based in Germany, traveled extensively across Europe, visiting museums and churches. Through the acoustics of architectural spaces, sacred music, and visual art, developed a strong sense of spatial awareness and structural composition in music. On July 6, 2023, founded the Japan Dumpling Association, a Japan-based organization dedicated to addressing issues faced by single-parent families. Musical activities officially started that same year under the name NAKAKAN as part of this initiative. For the first single, "Dumpling Dance," the artist handled lyrics, composition, and arrangement. The subsequent single, "Global One," was produced entirely with English lyrics, expressing musical sensibilities that transcend differences in nationality and culture. Prior to the NAKAKAN project, was involved for approximately 15 years in music production projects within the music industry under a different name, including works officially released through Victor Entertainment and avex trax. In addition, at the Music Creative Talent Contest organized by Nippon Engineering College, a musical work written and composed by the artist was awarded the Excellence Award by a jury that included Satoshi Takebe and Masayuki Sakamoto. In music production, NAKAKAN explores new possibilities of musical expression within international songwriting environments, guided by a flexible perspective unconstrained by borders or genres.
