My husband, after working as a (corporate employee) for 50 years, retired at the end of March 2025. For his retirement trip, we stayed on the 11th floor of Hotel Monterey Okinawa from March 10th to March 13th. As I was relaxing in the room, gazing at the ocean, I heard the distant voices of children playing, the sound of the waves, the chirping of small birds, the caw of crows, and was enveloped by the scent of the tide. In just a few minutes, I wrote this poem. I composed about 60 songs for it, but I had a hard time getting people to read the kanji correctly. However, some really good songs remain, and I'm excited at the thought of performing them as karaoke someday for everyone to hear!
I write poetry about my everyday life with my wife, as we're both around 70 years old. Having lived for over 70 years, I've experienced countless moments where I thought, "This is the end." Yet, each time, I've managed to pick myself up and keep living. I've poured that journey into these lyrics. SUNOAI has composed the music and also provides the vocals. However, I also plan to distribute a karaoke version created with Filmora, where I'll sing the songs myself. The TuneCore Japan Support Team encouraged me with words like, "Even grandpas and grandmas can do it!" and gave me hope. Since TuneCore Japan will distribute my music, I'm entrusting it to them.
