握りしめたボールに
どれだけの夢を込めただろう
歓声も名声も背中で受けて
前だけを見ていた
語らぬことで
伝わることがある
祈るように
ただ、正しく立つということ
翔平よ その一球に
世界は静かに震えている
力より深く 速さより高く
愛を投げる その姿に
今、国境を超えて
ひとつの問いが生まれている
「誇りとは何か？」
「勝つとは何か？」
君は 答えじゃなく
まなざしで 教えてくれる
ユニフォームの白が
いちばん似合うのは
汗をぬぐわず 背筋を伸ばした
その一瞬の沈黙
言葉では足りない世界に
君は静けさを差し出した
叩かない強さを
奪わない強さを
翔平よ そのサムライの魂で
分け与えてくれた光は
バットよりも重い
「人としての約束」
誰よりも遠くへ
誰よりも静かに
君は今、未来へと
風を投げている
教えてくれたのは
勝利じゃない
「敬意が世界を動かす」ってことだった

Artist Profile
Ryukyu HAL
Continuing from the era of the Ryukyu Dynasty, he is an orthodox "Yuta" (shaman). Born during the American occupation of Okinawa after the war, he grew up in Koza city, where American culture and Okinawan culture blend. During the Battle of Okinawa, one in four Okinawan people perished. Okinawa was rebuilt through music, and the traditional instrument, the sanshin, remains a symbol of peace, deeply resonating in the hearts of the Okinawan people across various music genres, including pop and rock. Known as a legendary Yuta in Okinawa, he provides counseling to over 10,000 people annually with his unique abilities. Since relocating to Kanagawa Prefecture in 2005, people from all over Japan visit for his counseling services from his exceptional abilities. The Ryukyu shaman delivers messages through his music. HAL has helped over 200,000 individuals with their concerns, and has transformed those experiences of healing and advice into songs, engaging in musical and speaking activities. After moving his base to Tokyo from Kanagawa in 2009, he made his major debut under Sony Music Associated Records, and performs nearly 90 live shows and lectures annually. He began performing internationally in 2017, hosting concerts often in Taiwan and New York. His U.S. tour conducted in 2018 (North Carolina, New Jersey, Iowa, New York), received significant media coverage. In 2019, he performed at the renowned live house Pianos in New York, garnering high praise from organizers. HAL has a wide range of activities in TV shows and magazines, making intermittent appearances on programs such as "Sunday Japon" (TBS), "HEY!HEY!HEY!" (CX), and "London Hearts" (TV Asahi). His music, categorized as "spiritual music" transcends trends, healing the hearts of modern people, known as the modern "Ryukyu Uta", the songs of Ryukyu. As a spiritual artist, HAL engages in a wide array of activities, including publishing books, painting, and photography. According to the Ryukyu beliefs, a Yuta is a shaman appointed by the Ryukyu Kingdom. They oversee public rituals and festivals and make a living providing spiritual advice to the general public, often singing "Ryukyu Uta" to convey messages.
