Yusuke Minna's new song "The Voice of Late Summer Heat" has been born.
On a road where the heat haze flickers and the summer heat still lingers, every time you suddenly stop, the smile and warmth of that day come back to life. The time spent together under the burning sun, even if the pain remains, the straightforward feelings like the summer sky are always by your side.
Even as the wind changes and the seasons begin to shift, the bonds that dwell in the heart do not change. Holding the "feelings shouted out in the late summer heat" in your heart, its okay not to be strong; just face forward and keep moving. Tears and pain will eventually dry up, and surely new happiness awaits.
Feelings for important people, memories of the past, and courage for tomorrow. This is a heart-touching song suitable for the end of summer, spun together with such feelings. Please try to embrace it with your heart at the turning of the seasons.
I am Minna no Yusuke, a singer-songwriter. My music is not just a collection of pretty words or generic cheers. It is a record of mud-stained hope that I discovered while trembling at the edge of despair. In 2022, an invisible storm called Long COVID struck me. I was diagnosed as unfit for work, and my daily life crumbled as I frequently lost consciousness and collapsed. The normalcy I had known until yesterday vanished beneath my feet. I lived in isolation, clutching a Help Mark, hiding in the shadows of society. During those dark times, what saved me was not someone else causes perfect success story; it was the existence of others who, while carrying their own pain, were desperately trying to live through today. That is why I sing. To you, who are buckling under the weight of the normal mask: I will never deny the tears you swallow on crowded trains or the silent screams in your heart. That pain is the greatest proof that you are fighting to live. As a challenger turning weakness into strength: I am not a powerful hero. I get lost, I get hurt, and I stop in my tracks many times. But by baring that vulnerability, I want to give you an overwhelming sense of affirmation: It is okay to exist exactly as you are, imperfect and all. To be a companion of the soul beyond music: My messages on TikTok and social media are all for one purpose: to ensure that no one is left alone. By incorporating perspectives from healthcare and welfare, I hope to support your journey of living from multiple angles. The Inner Flame I sing of may not be bright enough to blind the darkness. But I want it to be an unquenchable light that burns quietly beside you on a freezing night. It is okay. Your story is not over yet. Let us play through this path together, one step at a time. Rising from rock bottom, turning pain into compassion. Loving myself as I am, and continuing to stay close to the hearts of others. That is the way of life of the artist, Minna no Yusuke.
